which experts and what was their motigvation there is a "beef disparity law" that says its illegal to give facts that say anything bad against beef.
the numbers are actually accurate and environmentalists admit to it when pressured..but they hate to since they are member driven orgs and people are willing to live in a hole in the ground before they are willing to consider changing what they eat
so many of the experts are afraid to admit the truth because they lose funding if they do
it really is that bad well cowspiracy stated its the number 1 cause of climate change ts actualy number 3
however..it is the 1 thing that can easily save our asses in 10 years not 100
by the way
Einstein 100 years ago made pretty much the same stark predictions and stated in no uncertain terms that switching to a vegetarian society gobaly was the single most important ting to guarantee our survival

Dread Maintenance
liquid helps young dreads dread faster it already has sea salt in it
bars don't dry out mature dreads (detox bar does dry it a bit)
dragonsblood smells yummy too kinda like licorice or anise a sweet almost candy smell..yumm
nag champa is a stronger earthy scent it makes me think of Tibetan monk monastaries.. like patchouli is earthy but this is even more so. I love it!1 my sister hates it (patchouli too)
all clean amazingly just the liquid dries the hair making it dread faster (not appropriate for African hair types for that reason)

Grey hair
General Questions
ok my beard went grey young, heads only now showing hints of grey at 51
the color sems to simply go away in the entire hair. it is odd however that since you shed every hair every 7 years about how they can get grey hairs way down where they were already shed
I suppose (@Panterra Carraway might know more) the pigments just fade
now in dreads yur whole dread doesn't go gre.. only a few hairs then a few more its kinda beautiful
starts with just a few strands zig zagging around the black or brown slowly becomes a golden color as grey and dark colors mix then that becomes more greay as the rest turns grey
my head dreads have juswt a couple near my temples showing a lil greyness but overall all look dark brown still bwhile the new growth around my face is a lot more grey and I have a few lil baby dreads that are greyinsh intop
10 year dread product questions
General Questions
use the rot knot 1st its not a shampoo its a treatment..then use whatever shampoo after
you don't need all 3 in 1 wash
the charcoal is something you can use rarely when you need a deep clean
since they have not been cleaned well the 1st wash do rot knot 1st saturate em leave it in at least 10 min..longer if u feel you need then use detox to get them really clean after that use the other shampoos 1-3 times a week..use detox again when you feel they need an extra deep cleanning
Section Sizes and Size of Dreads.
General Talk
I keep going back and looking at your undreaded hair I bet it was combed within 48 hours of that picture but you can already see some sectioning beginning and easily 70-100 dreads that would form..i mean just on that 1 side of your head you'd have way more ten you have now
that hair would have started dreading in a week! she really really screwed you and not just lied..but refusd to tell you the truth that your hair was already 1/2 way into the 1st steps of dreading
every lst person here wanting natural dreads would wish they had your hair! thqt hair would form absolutely pic dreads if you just stopped combing it
Section Sizes and Size of Dreads.
General Talk
1st off demand a refund what they did to you was terrible! and they should be ashamed
your hair is thin? you know thats a damn lie look at your hair thats incredibly thick..and absolutely perfect for natural dreads! I mean how did you prevent it from dreading all these years you must have combed it more then once a day.
your hair would have dreaded insanely fast.. the fact that the locticians lied to you and didn't even tell you it would dread by doing nothing proves how unethical they are..i would demand double your money back
ok heres your choices
1 comb them out lose hair it will be thinner but that hair will section itself naturaly probably in only 3 days..ina week or 2 ..maybe less you'll see it dreading
your hair is some of the most perfect hair for thick amazing natural drads..or at least was before THAT was done to it
option 2
condition condition ..lightly not enough like your about to comb them out (if you comb out saturate them id try using a soft brush its slower but gentler use the comb only for theeal hard parts)
as they soften ..which can take a real long time (3 years if you dont condition now..well 6 months to loosen enough to even begin to dread) when they are less stiff and tight you will start to see loops thats when you stop conditioning
they will eventually (maybe 3 years) thicken to that huge section size..33 dreads is not too massive but they wil be very thick..under 20 id be very worried
with your thick amazing hair though id expect 60-75 to be more reasonable
now I would not split them..you have tons of broken hairs now..if you split them you litraly break every last hair probably thousands of times since they zig zag all the way through the dread plus splitting often goes bad leaving 1 side with a thick root thin tip the other thin root thick tip
I know its heartbreaking to comb them iut..and yes adds a bit more dqamage (the genler and slower you do it the less harm thats done)
I would save and photograph the pile of broken hair you lost..on the locticians site post a review including the lies the massive sections the stiff very fake looking dreads..your beautiful perfect hair for natural dreads then the pile of lost hair and if your hairs noticeably thinned that too. post a second revew months or a year down the line with your new healthy beautiful natural dreads
thaqts my heartfelt recommendation though I would support you continuing on as well. I know you feel used traumatized even.. and will have these stiff sticks sticking out all over for months..but I truly believe you will feel much better starting over naturally
and do indeed demand that refund
hell if it takes taking her to small claims court I will gladly testify on your behalf
they should not get away with doing that and lying that way
she knows the only reason the sections had to be so huge is crochet makes them 1/5th the size of a normal dread...and as stiff as sticks inwtead of flowing like hair should

becoming Vegetarian
Dreads and Diets
dairy is so horrible and why I went veg. I worked on a dairy farm they took wooden canes and sumtimes numchucks (I know spelled wrong) and turned them into splinters over the cows heads..they then twisted the tails breaking them.. thats literaly millions of nerves at once..i broke my back.. when a dr says describe your pain frm 0-10 .. very very very few have any idea what 10 is..every nerve in your body ripped apart.. thats a 9.5 only being set on fire with your brain literaly boiling can be a 10
so thats the agony they inflicketed to control the,..most had the tails zig zagging having been broken dozens of times
now I still eat cheese but am eating more vegan cheese all the time
however humans are the only animals to drink another niimals milk (exceptwhen its needed for survival if the mother dies) and no animal drinks milk beyod infancy
cows milk contains growh hormones designed to make a 100 pound calf vecome a 2 ton cow as fast as possible4
additionaly all the runny noses chest congestion etc you get..all caused by milk.. vegans almost never have mucous issues (well after several months or a year of veganism you get a mucus flush.. literaly pouring out of everywhere in insane ammounts.. after that...your clear..but when I went vegan at 19 ..that mucus flush did me in and I relapsed...now im finaly inchig my way back towards full vegan)
