Finally Have an Appointment with a Stylist

Introduce Yourself

^Or how about the BEST way to create a lock is patience and letting nature take its course? No chemicals, no combs or brushes. I'm not saying you can't give dreadlocks, but I can tell anybody who wants healthy hair that going natural is the BEST route to take. I was going to use DreadHeadHQ products on my hair and backcomb mine, but I am so glad I found this site and decided to go natural. Wax, regardless of its purpose or ingredients is not MEANT for your hair, therefore it literally is unnecessary. I'm so happy with my natural little babies that I wouldn't recommend any other way to get dreads! Except T&R if you're super impatient, but even then, try to suck it up. I have, I'm only a week in and I'm 1) very happy with the progress made and 2) completely at peace with the fact that my journey has only just begun. I say save your money and take a wonderful physical and mental journey!

dreads and jobs

dreads jobs employment issues

I am a direct support professional in the field of developmental disabilities & deal with behaviors on a daily basis. Since being in this field, my hair has always caught my clients' attention for whatever reason. I've been yanked around by my hair before, but I've learned that with certain behaviors, it's better to just either wear my hair up or keep it covered. But then there's the clients who literally throw a fit if I do cover my hair, and do anything in their power to uncover it. Luckily, I've done well at handling incidents involving my hair, & I hope it stays that way as my locks come in. So far it seems like my clients are even more intrigued by my hair as it's changing, but they've remained gentle.

Dreads and Diets

I became a vegetarian about 6 months ago after I was enlightened from Happy Yogaby Steve Ross (book), Food Inc. (documentary), and Food Matters (documentary) along with several others. I am constantly watching new documentaries and learning new things. My diet then reallyyyyinfluenced my life in the greatest ways. My mental/emotional state was much more stable once I gave meat up and my appetite became much more desirable- I got fuller quicker from healthier things. It improved my body image (complexion and weight) and even helped me sleep better. I feel like becoming a vegetarian made me an even more peaceful being then I was before. I am making the transition to go vegan and eat a mainly raw diet but it's been difficult living in a household that loves cheese and home cooking. I've been staying with family since recently moving out to CO from OH and getting on my feet, but will be back on my own in about 4 weeks so at that point, my transition is really going to happen.
