my 17 month dreads and I really enjoy having them
General Talk
I put mine up when I feel there may be an "incidental touching." I don't care for others touching either unless they have been pre-approved and very few are for me.
I have many that are doing exactly what yours are doing, but it's all part of the process! I actually found myself wondering...
I believe soaringeagle is right...
I've seen your pics and I think those locs are meant to be the way they are. They have their own identity and were meant to be. It would be something close to an atrocityto cut them. Your locs are unique (and beautiful), as I'm sure you are unique too. Perhaps the tips will settle in over time, but you've got to give them the chance first. Don't be upset by them, own them.
Can't put my finger on it but they have a purpose. Don't know if anyone has ever "divined" loc tips, but there should be a method for it somewhere (lol).
I know this post seems to be over with already, but I thought I'd add the information for anyone who is still wondering if they should try the product or not.
I actually did a month trial of this shampoo, just because I was curious enough and secure with the amount of locking I have so far. Before this shampoo I just used Dr Bonner's products. I wash my hair 3 times per week (may be a lot for some, but my hair does best with this schedule). When I first started it seemed to work great. I was a little put off by how strong the fragrance was after, because it has to be leaving something to leave the fragrance behind, but i continued none-the-less. Slowly my hair started dulling over time. I do use oils in my hair, but it seemed that I couldn't get it back to the way it used to be. My hair looked depressed to me. I finally started with Dr Bonner again and after the first wash, all these clumps of white things were at the roots after shampooing twice (I usually shampoo once since I do wash frequently). Beneath the white string like things was the shine to my hair. Still a little duller than it was previously, but at least I know the answer. The rest of the bottle of Pure&Clean is going to my daughter. I'm sticking with Dr B, raw honey, raw coconut oil, horsetail rinses, and my oils.
