My Dready Timeline - Mistakes & Learning :)

Lmao! Both

 

dude your seriously way too hard on your locks. They look great...better all the time. I think the resolution to your frustrations is to not look at the mirror. lol They look great and your definitely on the right track now.

 

Cheers Shady, I love my locks, I was just worried they were too dry thats all

 

where did u find such a wrap?

 

It's called a buff
You can get them on ebay and places like that.
Any tube/snood or buff is good enough

 

can't remember where I saw,but you were having trouble w/dry scalp because of your hard water right? they make shampoo bars in lush for either hard/soft water areas. were you not loving them?

 

Eeeeehehe snood

xD

*Sneezes*

Alex they are soo looooong!!

*Finds tshirt to cut up*

 

they also sell buffs in outdoor type shops.. millets, blacks, cotswolds etc =]

 

Ta Dragon!
Luxie The soap bars are causing terrible dandruff and are leaving residue in them Can never wash them out properly
x

 

do you rub it in your nand first or rub it straight on your hair? I rub it in my hands to get a lather and just massage it into my scalp and then rinse well

 

Well what do we have here?
What's up my favourite dreaded bitches?

Have missed you guys ALOT, have had alot of 'commitments' recently so have struggled to get time on here/face coming on here.

My dreadies have got slowly better, but atm I am stopping using bicarb on it's own, due to the silky & conditioning effect it has on my dreadies.

Bear in mind when looking at them, my mini fringe at the front, and all the loooooooose hair everywhere.

If your new to me/just started dreads/just reading my thread, I would like to say how much of an effect dreads have had on my outlook on life completely, I can't sum it up to be honest.

Atm, I am 50/50 as to whether I am going to keep my dreads after this year, many thoughts have crossed my mind like doing it for several charities, I know what your thinking right now, 'How can someone who is so happy with their dreads, want to cut them off?'.

I ask myself the same question everyday at the moment, yes I know they haven't achieved maturity yet, yes I realise they will get better, but do you all realise how much of a bodge mine are, so so so many underlying problems that are just getting worse and worse, the dead hair sticking out all over the fatter ones has got worse, they have become looser and looser every wash (down to the bicarb), dandruff is a bitch right now.

I know if I did/do cut them, I would feel instantly depressed, my whole life, my clothes, my dance moves, the way I associate with people has all be changed because of my hair, when people look at me/us and see some 'cliché stoner hippy image who might aswell peel potatoes on the back of Princess Diana's dead body' they don't have the faintest what dreads are actually to us.

I know everyone gets them for different reasons, to tell the truth, I think my initial reason died long ago

I will be on here for the rest of the day, but I don't know how much I am going to post as this place has got a bit daunting to say the least

Love you all so much.
Alex x

 

God knows what happened to the profile of the picture, I have a very long face suddenly!

 

lovin the length man.

 

your so cute AlexI understand about how dreads have changed your whole life^__^my dance 'moves' have changed to since getting them. Basically now I just swish them around because I love them so muchI mean if you choose to cut I know I'd miss em! I hate seeing people cut their lovely dreads but if it makes youthen that's good.
I love how they've grown so beautifully. I iz jelous! missed youuuu xoxo

 

You make me go so reeeed tehe.
They are brilliant for having a lil' rave with
God knows, my life is a mess of poor decisions and regrets tehe, I don't think I will ever be able to make the decision
I love them so, but soo many problems I have caused them which they will never heal/recover from.

Fuck knows what I want
Missed you too! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

 

don't blame it on your dreads though. I don't understand why people cut if they go through some troubles/whatever. Do people without dreads cut off their hair? Do you cut your nails off too? Maybe an arm?

 

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not blaming my hair, I just think in the current situations i'm in, getting rid of them (for now) would help.

 

OK so I didn't read 17 pages but

When you stop given a fuck
your dreads will be awesome
but if you can't stop worrying
then cut 'em
its just hair
