HELLO! New to both locks and forums =)

Hi everyone =) My name is Sundari and I have been browsing the forums and love all the great constructive advice everyone gives on here. I have a couple of questions:

1. what do you all think of Dreadheadhq's "Lock Peppa"?

2. My little dreadies are only a week old. I washed the for the first time today and they seem thinner and limp, when I first got them they were thicker and puffy.( I used Dr.Bonners lavender soap) is that normal?

3. My hair was chin length when I got my locks so as you can imagine they are short. any tips for styling besides a headband?

I also have pics on my profile so you can see =)

Thank you all!

Peace.

 

hello hello

If your qestions dont get answered here then ask int he dread forum

 

any product from dreadheadhq or knotyboy is bad, lock peppa too (just cause flakes in your hair)

continue washing your hair with bronner thats good, and for styling tips well, experiment! and wear a wool hat if you can get one.

 

thank you so much for your response =) I love my little locklings and want to make sure they mature well =)

 

time gives the best lock, just wash with residue free soap (bronner) or anything you find good

 

Welcome to the forum, vermonthippiee. Bronner's is a quality product that most recommend. I've only used the Bronner's peppermint and Tea Tree, though mostly tea tree. Its supposed to help repel insects and parasites from your hair so its worth trying out. I've never tried out any DHHQ products, though I have some of their shampoo here. I've never used it. I assume best to play it safe and avoid them altogether.

Good luck, friend!

 

lock peppa is p[ure crap its basicly rosin which is the flaky crap violinists use on theyre bows (i think its a tree sap or something? it looks like a hard rock but powders or flakes when rubbed in the bow) ive never used theyre products but i couldnt imagine it does anything good and i heard all it does is make youir hair flakey
i think the theorie behind it is that its a stcky crap that helps hairs stick togethger a lil biut i think on violin bows it adds a techture to the horsehair that causes a better vibration on the strings..so with dreadsit adds a sticky techture to the haitr so knots have more to grab onto
but its really a crappy product


lookin at your pics your dreads are commin along nicely ya dont need any crap except bronners or some bakin soda type thing just to keep em clkean u dont want dreadheadhq crap at all that'll just make em dirty

also...cool ass eyes ya got..

 

Eagle, thanks for taking the time to reply and for the compliment on my eyes :blush5:

 

thank you very much!!:cheers2:

 

Nice start with your locks indeed, after looking at your pictures

 

thank you!!! It makes me feel much better! I do not have a lot of people to bounce ideas and such off of, so this is awesome =)

PS how do you guys get those cool counters to say how long you have been cultivating your locklings?

 

tickerfactory.com but the code it generates u gotta edit to remove links back to that site or you';ll end up with just a no links in sigs thing sooner or later when a mod decides to yank it

 

coolio!! thanks eagle, always a wealth of info =) This forum is awesome! I think I have found my new spot to hang when I work, to help keep me awake !!

Peace.

 

Damn, your dreads look real good, how long did you spend back-combing them?

 

almost 8 hours =) and worth every minute!!

 

Welcome!

You could try stylin' them in little piggie tails... or using different materials for headbands (like ribbon and make a cute bow).

 

thanks gaiabee!!! those are great ideas!!!!
:cheers2:
