hesti's neglecty dready thready

ok...so im startin my timeline



im goin neglect of course, so i can't really say that my dreads were "born" on a specific date... and i never really used a brush, just used my fingers and shampoo and conditioner, so i can't have a "lost the brush" date either...lol

but whatever you wanna call the event...yesterday is when it started....

April 28, 2009


edit: adding pics...sorry they're so ginormous i dont know how to fix that...im so lame

 

Lame, get a camera... Jk, good luck with your naturals...

 

thanks merrivale

and before anyone else yells at me to get a camera, i plan on picking one up here in about an hour, once i get off work...then im on my way home to wash my hair with some dr bronners (any suggestions on which scent? i bought a small bottle of each one :tongue...then i'll snap some pics and try and have em up tonight

 

good luck on your start

 

I get Bronner's tea tree in a huge bottle and then mix it with a little bronner's rose or lavender

 

congrats on starting your dready journey!
I like the tea tree smell the best

 

i like the peppermint.. especially when it gets in my eyes

 

I use johnson's big boys don't cry shampoo

NOT!

 

lol...well i went with the peppermint...felt pretty nice

and in case y'all didnt notice the freakin huge pics up there...i got some added

 

im gonna double post cause i can...plus it's my thread so i do what i want :tongue:

just wondering...i have a wool beanie, but it fits pretty snuggly...just wondering if it would help, hinder, or do nothin for me?

 

cousin it!
your hair's pretty straight
I've heard wool beanies can help at night

 

i've heard similar greenearthgirl...my concern was that it fits so snug on my head...wouldn't i want it to be a little loose?

 

hmm maybe. Although if it's too loose it might come off, depending on how much you move around

 

well i hit up SE on myspace...he said to wear it every now and then, to help compress the knots, but not too often cause it will restrict movement (which will of course prevent new knots)...seems so obvious now lol...

 

that's a good idea, I might have to get one. I was trying to crochet a wool tam but it came out all funny looking

 

that happened to me too, mine looks like a tea cosy, but i still wear it inside

 

i need to get a tam...i can't crochet worth shit though...maybe i'll see if i can get one of my grandma's to make it for me...

 

wooohooo! Finally! Congrats!

 

yeeeeeeee

thank you!

 

i like when the peppermint bronners gets in my eyes too!
