I worked as a painter/carpenter for a general contractor for 3 years and started my dreads after the first year in. Even a beanie that's a bit too big will work honestly and trust me you will have paint in your hair at some point haha. Cutting in, rolling a wall too fast andmysterypaint will make it in your hair. You can scrape it out though so no worries. If mine locked up while I was gutting a house of old plaster you'll be fine hombre
He may have brought up Solomon because of Rastafari. Solomon was known to ingest herb (hence the term Solomon Herb referring to ganja) and was known for his wisdom. Its true that he tricked Queen Sheba into laying with him and she gave birth to David who became the ruler of Ethiopia. The importance of this is the scripture is that Jah had Our Lady Zion or Ark of the Covenant moved from Jerusalem to Ethiopia. Haile Selassie I (Ras Tafari Makonnen) is of direct lineage to King Solomon and Queen Sheba, the blood-line of King David and was elected King of King's Lord of Lord's Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Rasta's look to Revelations to see that Haile Selassie I's coronation is the fulfillment of prophecy, the return of Christ (soul not flesh he never had flesh but inhabited the body of Yeshua) to Earth in his kingly form. July 23rd was his 120th birthday and celebrated as even his body was never found. So for Rastafari King Solomon is a very very important man and direct correlation to locks as the priests of Mose's, John the Baptist, Sampson, and most likely I-Yesus Christos, Yeshua, or Jesus Christ as well (All three are the name of the flesh of Christ the last being an adaption by the Roman Catholic Church. Any self respecting Rasta however should respect others lives and decisions unless harmful to offers for they are not their own and between them and the universe. Not "us and them" for their is only I an I. Jah Bless.

In VA dreadlocks violate the dress-code and you will be put in the hole for them. Isolation just moves you closer to Jah.
On her site she lists the benefits of the oils. Patchouli and Nag Champa are incredible. As long as your proud of smelling like hippie 
and yeah I go by Cam too man. Not too many of us haha and that's a good thing.
I hope they do too I have a few friends in Chester and I don't want them to miss out. My friend/temporary manager/giver of fatherly advice's wife is English. So worse comes to worse we'll just bring loads of soap when we head that way.

Hi I grew up in Virginia..I now live in England. I hope she will ship over here. There isn't much choice from dread soap/shampoo over here. So great to get a good recommendation. Thanks so much. Have a good one..:)
Glad I could be of some help. For a business owner it's always nice when a product promotes itself because of its quality.
That's wonderful about utilizing her land SE. I've been so inspired by the good people I've been crossing paths with lately. Feeling pretty good about life in general at the moment. Lauren - If you get something strong like Patchouli you won't be able to keep the scent out of your hair. Plus the fact that they actually lather is amazing. I know that sounds like such a simple thing but there is just something that feels good about soap that lathers really well. I can't express how relieving it is to not be thinking about trying something knew. Plus if you have to go through TSA they won't make you through away your shampoo for fear that it's explosive. Another great incentive. So happy to have a company that I want to support because I know they will use their added resources to make positive change. Oh and one more thing! Thank you SE for the "like" on the new song, means more than you know.
I got my Dreadlock Shampoo Bars in the mail today and could smell the Patchouli before I opened the mail-box. I live in the mountains of VA and my water is heavy with minerals so I was looking forward to seeing how the bars would work. It doesn't take much water to get them to a lather and they smell amazing. It was really easy to rinse them out of my dreads too. I didn't feel like I had to stand in the shower for 20 minutes to feel clean. There was a hand-written note and two samples, Calendula and Rhassoul. One is a soap to lather and apply to your face and the other you move directly on the skin to clean and remove dead-skin. For the first time in a long long long time my face feels clean. My skin isn't very oily anymore but since I moved out here it has felt like I couldn't remove any dirt instead I'm just tossing on a layer of lime. Highly recommend any of their products to anyone who cares about the health of their dreads. Especially if you have hard-water, this is your saving grace. A dreadlock shampoo that is good for your hair, good for the planet, smells incredible, saves you money, and the people making them give are clearly passionate about what they are doing. As a community we need to help support a company who not only gives a shit about themselves. But the rest of us as well.

When I was 7 or so my Mom had thyroid-cancer and had half of it removed. So she has been on thyroid medication for the past 15 years and hasn't had any other problems as far as that. When my Fibro started getting worse and worse so did my stomach. I have always had a sensitive stomach but now I can't eat dairy, meat (can eat fish), and eggs. I even have to take a lactase pill to take Lyrica. It wasn't hard because those things made me feel like hell. When you start to feel better you don't see them as appetizing anymore. Sometimes the thought is good but when I think about the repercussions it's easy to drop out of my mind. I ended up on an Ital diet by default haha. I'll keep you in my prayers as always, for understanding and guidance. I hope in this because something positive for you instead of negative and that everything else is working out.
