Adoptive dreads..

Introduce Yourself

theres a girl on here that extended her dreads using her son and husbands hair. i think its really beautiful when theres a connection like that. i don't think i would put some strangers locks in my hair though. :P

my 17 month dreads and I really enjoy having them

General Talk

wow! they look so beautiful! i've been known to ask someone with locks if i could touch them. it's a rarity around here to see someone with them. i was vending in an art show and the woman was asking me about my work and she was really nice. i asked her about her locks and then got up the nerve to ask her if i could touch them. i had never felt dreadlocks before and i was really curious of what the texture of mature locks would feel like. they had the feel of felted wool. i loved them. this was about 6 years ago. i don't know why i waited so long to start my own. i guess i just needed to be more secure with myself first:)

natural dreads with no separation

General Talk

i definitely don't want a head full of beaver tails but i'm not doing much separating anymore either. i was obsessed with keeping sections separated in the beginning that i think it actually set me back a bit in the knotting. my sections are really small so i'm hoping that they'll congo a bit so they'll be stronger in the end. my fine hair needs all the help it can get:)

Patience gone...

you don't HAVE to wait. it's your hair. lots of people on this board started with backcombing or t&r and have a ton of loops and kinks. i would skip the wax though.

Dreading my ladies hair

Dreading Methods

i love aubreys skin care products but their shampoos always left me with an oily residue. i would try desert essence lemon tea tree or trader joes tea tree tingle. both work wonderfully in all types of water and get your hair really clean.

weleda rosemary shampoo, hindering process?

Dread Maintenance

the ingredients don't look too bad but what might be causing your problems is the fact thatDisodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is a very mild cleansing agent. it probably isn't helping get all theessentialoils in the shampoo out so thats why your hair has more slip to it. you might want to try something else.
