so i was just lookin through the pics on dreadheadhq

and there are some nasty nasty looking dreads on there, only a few looked semi ok
99% still had elastics in em though so were only day old candles
aparently noone wanted to post older pics they were all proud of theyre "new dreads" but most likely severelky disapointed a few weeks later
there were a few so caked with wax they looked rediculouse 1 in paericulaar every dread was sticking straight up check out picture id 0310_001

i really hate to use the word nasty and dreads in the same sentence but dreadheadhq is really causing there to be alot of nasty dreads out there

the worse part is ..alotta kids 14-18 all want dsreads and they ask theyre folks who look around find that site and actualy requir theyre kids to use those methids and..wax

i think we really need ro flood theyre email with hundreds or thousands of emails requesting they remove wax from theyre recomendations ..or at the very least post a disclamor or warning about the harm it can do

or hell..even if ytheyd just respond to 1 single email excpressing concerns

ive emailed them about the harm they do and they wouldnt respond at all

another forumner emailed them about concerns that theyre soap was causing flakes and they did respoond ...with totaly false information..just to sell more product..

sirry for the rant i was just gonna comment on howe rediculouse they looked and how it seemed like not 1 was oldder then a few days at most
(the ones that lookked semi mature were probly heaviest with wax...ohh yea most also had that rediculouse perfect squar sectioning that leaves a checkertboard patter of scalp showing ...
its worth looking for a good laugh..lol


not all are nasty some look salvagable but the magority ..if i waz them id cut em and start over..and im pretty aposed to cutting as ya can imagine

 

I knew a girl that went with the DreadheadHQ method and her locks turned out very, very well...but, I agree, the marjority on that site are not really that great at all and are not really even knotted up. By comparison, KnottyBoy seems to have some better dread pics.

 

0325_002 was equaly weird but the 001 one made me laugh till my belly hurt..lol


the funniest part is after hearring so many ppl talk about the hours and hours of work they piut into rolling crochetting tidying dreadballong root and tip rubbing i was actualy beginning to feel lil self conceise of mine and how lil work if any i put into mine so i started workin on the tips and stuff alittle (regretted it almost immediately though) but now that io see the results of all these varius methods and products im so glad i basicly did next to nothing to mine

i remember clearly the 1st time i heard of using wax..a woman on the street asked me if i used it i loooked confused and asked no why would i..she tried explaining what it was for and all and i thought ok i'll give it a try i cut off my beard dreads twice before these so on the 2nd set i did as she said trying to get em started i put just a tiny bit in and as soon as i doid regretted it..i never did mannage toi get it out till i cut em
i dunno how ppl continuelky use it.. the momment it touched my hair i knew instantly it was a big mistake...and even though it was just an area no bigger then a fingertip at the end of 1 dread it was noticable and i would scrape and pick at it for years trying to get the gunk out


ppl who have used wax..do not wait to reemopve it..do it imediately..if your dreads become dreads with wax in them it will be harder and harder to get out the tighter the dreads get...when they are real tight..actualy mature dreads..its too late..u may never get it out

(i still wanna do a flamiability test on wax dreads..i know my dreads dont burn..if anything the frizzs might singe but the dreads will not catch fire well maybe if i leave em in a fire long enough but they wont burst into flames like loose hair ..i bet wax dreads are even more a fire hazard then loose hair
any dreadheadhq victims wanna sacrifice a candle dread to an experiment?

 

0321_001 is really pretty, but they would look better without wax....ha

 

Someone should get a thread up to display the comparisons:
Backcombed dreads w/ wax
Backcombed w/o wax
All natural dreads
Other methods.

And include the amount of time they've been developing.
It'd be good for people to see the difference. I know that I can't readily eyeball it sometimes

 

You are right, 90%+ of those photos look ridiculous. I'm embarrassed just looking at them... There are people walking around looking like that?
The sad part is DHHQ is laughing at them all the way to the bank.

 

not a bad idea
ok i'll start it

 

Whats really is that i used wax once a week for about a month when i got dreads...

becuase everyone i knew with dreads told me I had to use wax and well they all had dreads so i believed them...and that is alot of people.

 

picture id 0310_001 is only stickin up cause his head is hangin from his bed,
but there is some ridiculous lookin dreads on there lol.
when im lookin for a good laugh thats always a good reliability haha.
