1 Year Old Dreads

Thank God you only did it for a day. I did it much longer and had to start over. Boiling wax out of your hair is NO FUN!

Keep us posted on the progress.

 

I couldn't believe how much of a con wax is when i read about it. What happened to your dreads? Im gonna try and find a pic from a while back when i first started my dreads so i can stick it on here.

 

nice dreads, can we see a before pic of you without dreads too?

 

Ive been tryin to find one but since i deleted my pics off my pc its been pretty hard. I know my grans got one for sure and im visiting her this month so i can get one for then definetly.

 

Dude, you can see it here http://mamamojo.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/the-dreadlocked-mess-momster/

I had to boil the shit out of my hair for a couple WEEKS, do crazy rinsing concoctions and eventually unbraid all the funky shit the chick did to "start" them for me.

 

How the hell do you get rounded tips like that? I'm mad fucking jealous. They're a bit too fat for my liking, but they're still gorgeous.

 

What do you wash your dreads with?

 

Wow, it looks like you had a big ordeal with ur dreads. They look great now tho. I just hate how if you go on all the big dreading websites wax is said to be awesome and essential for the dreading process. I saw a pic once of some guy whos dread fell out because of the wax. He cut it open and the build up was disgusting. Its just a money making ploy really.

To get the rounded tips, basically i just grab the end of the dread with thumb and finger and rub the end clockwise on the palm of the hand. Ive done that since the start so after a while they just stay rounded.

And ive just started washing my hair with Dr Bronners Pepperminty liquid soap. I used the Dreadhead HQ but it doesnt have a scent at all which i guess is kinda good for the whole residue free-ness. Bad thing is tho that for about a month after startin my dreads i used what i was told was a residue free shampoo which actually wasnt so im guessin that didnt help things at all. Gonna deep cleanse soon anyways to get them squeaky clean hopefully.
