when did you realise you wanted dreads?

iggy:

 

i was going to comment, but you know what.... i'm not going to.
callie, sorry sweets, you can't change the opinions of stuborn jack asses. better to just ignore them. they can try to be happy when everyone around them disappears because they're too annoying and rude to be around.

 

I meant sexy rude lol

 

ahhhh Okay sexy rude I will take it

I know Heads ...... emo-hippies...kind of funny! What the hell happened to peace and love????? (great now I have smashmouth in my head)

 

"Hey, you emo-hippie! Don't label me, you don't know me!"

Your post history in this thread has me asking the same thing~

 

Whaaa Whaaa!!!

Also to clarify I'm not a hippie...just your average run of the mill bitch.

 

I didn't call you a hippie~ Read it carefully.

 

wow is this still going on?
crazy shit!

 

lol I thought you'd abandoned this thread forever Those two should get a room

 

yeah i couldnt keep up anymore so i buggered off.
Im still confuzzled by wats going on because im too lazy to read the posts

 

Now Amy I found that a little rude

 

wow... i just read the whole post and i know i dont know any of you but it seems crazy to fight this long over something like this... perhaps you should agree to disagree... also, i had a question for callie4strings... did you find the wax felt really gross and sticky or was i just using too much b/c i have a couple jars lying around my house and my dreads arent really knotting up after a few months... at this point im willing to try anythinng, lolz

 

Just read this thread too and I'm astounded. Tzee Xicu... I can't believe you're trying to play the victim saying that everyone is against your beliefs. Nobody once talked down on going neglect, they simply offered other alternatives. You try and claim everyone "against" you is just as guilty as elitism when you are the only one who claims your way is the only way.... I don't get this at all.

Anyways, I realized I wanted locks when I became vegetarian and had a religious awakening, or rather falling out with religion. I wanted something to symbolize my new lifestyle and the idea of dreadlocks popped into my head. I did my research, attempted neglect, it wasn't for me so I went with backcombing and waxing. No problems, and no regrets.

 

Hey, Welcome to the forum, crazy_punk_jess!

I've thought about it...and your right, no need for this bickering. I'm sorry Callie, I could have been more accepting of your methods. I was blinded and need to let it go~ Maybe we just agree to disagree and go about our own ways as we see fit.

edit-- brayingdonkey: Where did I say my way was the only way?

 

Sounds like a good reason to me man, hey an' welcome to the forums pretty much. Welcome to the dreadie family too

 

Glad to see you tryin' to work it out man. Best policy to get treated right is to treat others right too. eace:

 

I'm just trying to let it go, man. I saw something outside mere minutes ago, and I knew it as a message. Not just for this forum, but I took it to encompass it as well~

 

You misinterpret- but it is senseless to continue. my mind is all a flutter at this time. I've seen something pretty crazy just now, still trying to soak it all in. I may regret throwing in the towel tomorrow, but- so be it! lol.

 

I found that DHHQ wax was a lot better for me than K-Boy and washed out quite easily. I dont believe that wax will "make" your hair knot up, that takes time no matter your method. I just used it to get through the first washings. My hair is very straight coarse and thick. I am even resistant to chemical perms...they would last a week or two then my head would look like very limp ramen noodles. So I did feel I needed the extra help to help hold things together until they could on their own.
Now I have never once told anyone to run out and backcomb and wax. I feel you do what feels right for you.
Now to answer your question, I didnt, but again I used it very little. I mean no where even close to the amount recommended. Or maybe I was just so use to having junk in my hair anyway pre-dreads, like gels, straightening creams, frizz ease, hairspray...you name it.
But if you do decide to, please go by the instructions, dont cake it on, and dont underestimate the power of some good hot water and a decent shampoo.
Also take note...I am only 6 months in. Amy could very well be right that in years to come I could be on here ranting about wax. But for now I am happy!!!!!!

 

You are so right sir. I was just outside talking to a roach and he told me to forgive you.
