when did you realise you wanted dreads?

Sorry if I trashed it for a bit

 

gives me something good to read on my otherwise boring afternoon!! lol

 

Oh your new sig! I like

 

Mmm life is good. How do ye do my lovely dready people

 

thanks,I discovered I had this cool 'collage maker' on my pc.So I messed about with it.
Just seems quite big headed having like 50 pics of me haha.
So yeah I thought Id better chuck in a few of my little un and boyf! Still looks funny having lots of me looking at me!!

 

Yeh but you're nice to look at

 

Yeah because the pics are small.If they were enlarged you would be scared ! hehe

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder hun. I think you're quite lovely too.

 

Haha..I felt the same way about mine old collaged siggy... but I'm still bigheaded and post pics of myself.

 

Am I not entitled to my own opinion? Did not everyone just now attempt to belittle my beliefs?

Is it washed out now?

 

Do you enjoy goading people into angry reactions? It seems to me as tho you do. Perhaps you should try an' have a nice conversation without insulting others or being over zealous with your opinions. If you want to have a heated debate go over to the P&R Forum

 

Yep quite sure of it. I only used it the first few months, very sparingly. Mine are on the thin side so maybe that is why is was easier to wash out than others have stated. I dunno. I also used a good clarifying shampoo....you know what...it removes wax..OMG!!!!!

I dont feel anyone was belittling your beliefs but defending their own from your douchebaggery.

 

I seek not a 'heated debate.' My posts have been very civil. I did not maliciously provoke, as it's been implied. I simply posted my dread beginnings and was asked to clarify my belief. People just don't agree with me so they become angry. I made no personal attack, just my general sediments and they took offense. The advocates of wax disagree with me, so they label me a pompous jerk. I ask you to read through this thread and reevaluate what you have seen.

That's good you have washed it out. I know even WorldPeace used wax in the beginning, so it is not all doom and gloom if you can get it out.

Though I'm trying to follow you; Wax is okay to use sparingly for the first few months? Do you figure it is at all helpful? Or does it do neither harm, nor good?

Douchebaggery? Your hate for me continues! Care to shed some light on this? How have I been such a douchebag to you? My beliefs are different, so you become upset.

You said it is okay to use wax, I disagree. I believe using wax is a mistake, therefore, if you've used wax you did not properly look into the process beforehand. Now, before you allow the gears of hate to turn again, I feel no personal distaste for you because of it. 'Tis only my opinion regarding dreadlocks...

Now, I've expressed my opinion that differs from yours'. Can you not accept this difference?






*100th post, Yay! ^^ Time to decide on a signature, here.

 

summer of last year, i was bored of getting haircuts lol
and i started looking into dreads, so yeah
=D

 

blah

 

Good mornin' Amy? I dunno but it sounds about right to me, even tho I'm not an amybird I'ma nightbird

 

I'd like to be a nightbird, I sorta am really, only my sleeping patterns get messed up really easily so I have to be a sensiblebird.
It always puzzles me how even though there are plenty of times when we don't all share the same opinions yet don't end up arguing about it and still manage to show each other respect, every now and then someone comes along failing to show respect then acting like the victim when... oh fuck I've lost my train of thought now lol *sleepy*

zzzzzzzzz

Note to self: don't try to have opinions within an hour of waking up.

 

A life-time is not what's between,
The moments of birth and death.
A life-time is one moment,
Between my two little breaths.

The present, the here, the now,
That's all the life I get,
I live each moment in full,
In kindness, in peace, without regret.

I think dreadlocks were kinda dormant inside me for several years, waiting to be named.
You know when you're really hungry for something very specific, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is - then when you discover the food you want it seems so obvious and you scoff it down without hesitation...it was a bit like that I guess.

Although I'd seen people with dreads over the years, they didn't really register anything in my brain, I was fairly indifferent towards them, and also had no idea what they were exactly or how they were formed/grown/made. I vaguely supposed they involved kinda ruffling the hair up a lot, and think I remember a long time ago someone saying the hair had to be glued together and you could never get them out again. It was all just a bit vague and alien in my mind.


My husband, who I've been together with since 2006, really likes dreads on girls. Although I of course know that he'd love me no matter what, as would I him, I also think it's not unreasonable to make some effort to fill a person's dreams as much as possible, given that you're expecting them to be with only you forever - so I kinda wished I could get dreads, sort of as a gift to him, but just assumed I couldn't because it would be near impossible to find anyone in Norway to "do" them (remember I still had not a single clue what they were really) and it would cost a fortune (coz everything here does).
So that was the end of that really, it was just assumed to be ruled out from the beginning.

Then some time around May/June last year the thought just popped into my head, "What the hell are dreadlocks anyway?!" I did some Googling, read the Wiki definition, read DHHQ and KB from cover to cover, so-to-speak....and, well, to hell with what my husband wanted, I wanted dreads! It was like being handed all the answers to my hair issues at once...wanting to grow it long vs not wanting to deal with it, wanting it as part of an outward expression of myself without relying soley on maintaining the crazy colours (I always felt like a misrepresentation of myself during the bleachy times before re-dyes), wanting my hair to just be "done" already when I get up in the morning etc, not wanting to feel permanently like a scarecrow some time in the future when I've been shovelling shit out on my farm on a Norwegian hill for 5 hours in the pissing rain... so that's why there was no further hesitation. Spoke to my husband on the phone that day, and I was like..."Er...I think from what I'm reading on this DHHQ site where they're talking about getting a bunch of friends to help, this isn't actually something we have to pay a shitload for". The cost of a dread-kit was nothing compared to what a salon would have charged, so although I now see it as a total waste of money, right then it was the bargain of a lifetime!


So that's part of the story. There's more, but it has no place here, as I said earlier. Hope I've answered your question a bit now chemigals...sorry again for the deeeerails

 

On with the dreadie stories folks...there are PLENTY of other threads for wax debates! Just to clarify the wax=ignorance isn't what got me going. If I hated anyone you would definitely know, Ozzy would be a busy boy!
