1 year, kind of [May 23rd, 2012 @1:37 PM]

traumatics
Hey guys!

So May 30 is the birth date of my very first dread. My set was formed over a long stretch of time, I basically added a dread here and there over the course of several months and then eventually had a full head of 20. I then went back and combed out and re-dreaded a lot of the thicker ones, and then ended up with 34. So many of them are still only a few months old, but nonetheless, I've been at it for a year already! Wow!

LOTS of pictures behind the cut

check it out! )

Hope you enjoyed :)

milestone: having to order a custom showercap on etsy because "XL FITS EVEN THE LONGEST HAIR!" has become a joke.

One of my subscribers sent me this video of her curls using the loc knots technique and they look amazing! I love seeing my styles tried on various hair textures so I had to share. Hope everyone had a great Mother's day!

Deepcleanproblem and travelphotos [May 13th, 2012 @10:10 AM]

mushroomattack
This morning i woke up with a heavy muscle pain in my neck and left shoulder. It is stiff and my dreadlocks make the pain worse. I let them hang lose, cuz with a bun it hurts more. Yesterday evening i did a deepcleansession. Never used soda before and to bad i didnt. The water turned grey within five minutes. And when i flushed the water there was loads of dust and sand in the sink. WTF i never knew my dreads where so nasty. After the deepcleaning i putted a hairmasked on my dreads. My dreadlocks are getting dry-er and dry-er and i don't want them to break. So now my dreadlocks are superclean, but what to do about the neck- and shoulderpain? What do you do to handle the weight of your dreadlocks during washing?

[edit] I have to say i'm complaining more and more last half year. I'm not thinking about cuting. But i need to have some good tips how to handle the heavy weight during sleeping, wearing at work etc.

YEA I WASH MY HAIR! DO YOU WHIPE YOUR ASS? )
