Dreadlocks are love.

okay. suppose two cool cats (i.e. fatalbertsdisco and hobochic ) were in Knoxville, TN...
whats there thats cool to do? anyone here from the area? any awesome reccomendatons would be GREATLY appreciated. =]

thanks!!

peace

you called my bluff, i'm not sleeping

happy dreadlock dreams to you!

half the side of my head is extremly shorter than the other
how long does it take for dreads to grow?
do they just shrink? and then after years just grow?
tell me how much yours have grown since youve locked.

my new dreads(like four days old) keep coming undone when i sleep. i tried putting panty hose on my head and that didn't help at all. how do you guys sleep?

well my freind Nate drew this for me in the fall  yea i was going to put it in here awhile ago but he hates it he says that its the wores hes ever done so yea. but im not going to tell him so yea

 

man, i haven't washed my hair in a month! xD

:| anyway.

everything is fine and dandy... yet with that root problem. its not really a problem, i kind of like the loose feel. i also like the loose hair around my face, anyway.... i've done the clockwise root twisting, whatever you want to call it - didn't work really... and i'm giving a little elastic a try.

any other tips though? thinking maybe some back combing and then hemp wrap the roots... that would take so much time though :|

but i guess its just time... eventually i know they will (should?) dread up as they grow. ha! its been 7 months. hoot for me. i could put up pictures.... but hey, i'm a lazy bastard.

britton

i put some flower clips in my hair.



i've had my dreads about a month and a half now.

how are they lookin'?

:)

how do you put hemp wraps (and other wraps) in your hair?

thanks!

Well, I finally got some of these damn pictures to work for me. Oh, don't scream to loud, you might wake the neigbors.

hey, i just read on the knotty boys site that washing hair with normal shampoo is a no no..well new dreads that is. and ah i washed my hair with normal shampoo..um..im thinking this has something to do with the way my hair is now..lots of loose hairs and the like. i dont know how to crochet and eh..this community needs a memories page..it would be so much easier.

for people who have had lice before. how do you know that you have it? it says on a website that i was on that to keep lice out of your hair to brush it and that the medications only work if you soak your head in it for hours.now im all paranoid about it. haha. im sure it isnt that big of a deal because people without dreads get it too. my younger cousins got them a couple years ago actually. but its harder for us to tell if we have them untill its pretty bad. i feel like im doing a breast exam when i check for lice. hehe. anyways. any more info you guys have will make me much less calm. : )


update ... i accidentially posted this to my normal journal. oops. haha

hey guys.......
I've got a 5 year old little girl( shes mixed),,,, and shes very tenderheaded and doesnt like to have people brush her hair,,,,,,,
washing it isnt a problem but she hates to have her hair brushed......
I wanna put her hair in dreads..... and shes kinda fond of the idea....

I was just wondering if anyone thinks it would be a good idea... or a bad idea??
Opinions are welcome ..... and thank you in advance.
