lock peppa how it "works"

Dread Products

yes i use to have this stuff, sadly. It was a nightmare using all of that stuff. it was truly a waste of money to spend that much on shampoo and stuff... BUT! it does work well for making up hand soap and maybe even washing the car...but I wouldn't put that junk in my hair again! it takes forever to rinse out, especially in locks.

of course, the topic is about lock peppa, i got carried away...if you look up the ingredients of the product, you get these products:Gimborn R-7 Ear Powder for Cats and Dogs http://www.petfooddirect.com/product/11025/Gimborn-R-7-Ear-Powder-for-Cats-and-Dogs You talk about something sick!

a beaver tail would be sick tho. after it develops i imagine youd have to towel dry and devote a little bit more time in front of a box fan.

Mine doesn't give me problems as long as I squeeze out the drips and then repeat with a towel. It pays to take one's time, and it doesn't really have to be all that dry because it eventually drys after a day, but thank goodness it doesn't last long, I don't like the wet smell, but it goes away.

I've never had any mold, as long as I squeezed out the dripping water first, then repeated with a towel. I don't know about this mold you speak of, haha. And as far as cleaning it hasn't been a problem either, unless I use a shampoo that doesn't rinse out good.

It's very easy, because the back of the head is usually the thickest patch of hair for most. I allowed mine to form that way, pulled out the hairs that are not part of the base of the lock, and allow it to find its way as time goes by. Any locks I wanted to form with another it was easy for it to happen if I kept neighboring hairs away.

natural dreadlocks question

1. no not really, but it may be not so good if left on for more than a day. However after having locks for more than a couple of years it doesn't really matter that much.2. acv is good but for a good percentage of heads it can be strong to be used too often. Baking Soda is wonderful but don't use it on the scalp too often as it can dry it out.3. nah don't worry about that stuff...it could be more harm than help really.4. the roots will always be loose, so naturally it would be in the middle of the roots and tips. neither the tips or roots ever really lock up.

I'm sure he chose his alias intentionally, with those marketing-minded implications in mind. Look at the stuff he's written on his website, such as this (direct quote):

"The dreadlocks of the past that many remember from the 70's are those started by neglecting the hair. These are often unsanitary and can range from messy to downright scary."


What I mean is, why the silly name? I still say that "dreads" with wax in them are dirtier than real locks with nothing in them. It makes more sense to keep hair clean and nothing in it than putting goop and junk that attracts more junk! haha

I'm pretty sure "Knotty Jonny Clean"(why the alias?) knows who I am, considering that there have been more than half a million views of my timeline videos. He would probably say I am a fool for not putting wax in it because of the loose hair on top. I guess he think's he's the spokesman of what "dreads" are suppose to look like, and tells people that loose hair is a no no. Loose hair locks up over time, and most people that come to his website don't have a clue about the process, and therefore are brainwashed to think that what he says is the Gospel of Locks. I don't need pictorial proof: the 3/4 million views, success stories, thank you letters, and comments tell it all. I wish those companies would embrace the truth and instead they can sell the truth instead of leading millions astray and unhappy, thinking that they don't have the hair to do it. To this day I still get compliments, and they always like to know how it works, and are pleased that I tell them that I can wash it. Wax makes it very difficult to clean hair, I don't care what you say. Water retention, mold, eck.

oh and to answer his question, I onced used his wax, and i think there is only two reason if I were to own it now: candles and mustache wax. :-P It was a terrible experience, and i'm glad to know, AND I get to keep my hair, too!
