Hey, Just wanderin, any people around london mind helpin a fellow start some dreads? thanks for any response peacex
hey all you need to do is like get a friend or two section your hair off in bunch of sections then get a comb like the dog combs with lots of bristles close together and backcomb your hair then just get some natural soap residue free like dr bronners and you will be good to go or you can always just stop using a comb and start using residue free soap wash every 3-4 days and you can do that too don't use wax whatever you do back comb or just let your hair do its thing wax picks up dirt and stuff and your hair can get mouldy and doesn't let your hair actually knot up like a real dread so i dunno if this helps hope it does peace
You can get dreads done in Camden, I was there a while back and some lady told me they do them in their salon.
There's a place called camden locks i think and another place called pepeys. Make sure you specifically say to them "No wax!!" otherwise they'll turn you into a candle!
i dont like wax, i have alittle in the 2 dreads i have but all the same it ruins dreads, (i do abit to start with myself and then dont use it) but camden should be the best place
I spelt it wrong! Found the site for you though. http://www.pepis.net My friend got his done there and i must say even though they used wax they look fucking awesome. We did have to take a kettle of boiling hot water to his head to get it all out though! hehe. Hope it goes well for you!
I was at this salon the other day that was really anti wax. If people come in with wax they dissolve the wax (with essential oils?) and they don't back comb... they do this strange weavey thing. So you never know, maybe theres a place like that in your area. Seeing as theres one in Perth (population density= 2 people/square kilometre) there should definitely be on in London!
i'm going to be in the brixton area on tuesday 18th dec. i'll have several hours to spare before i go to the pogues gig.... give me a shout if you wanna hand
There is something other than boiling hot water that can get rid of wax? Gee, someone could get rich here.
ah sorry i would do but im headin down a bit later than expected, i bet that gig will be sweet though. thanks
no problem mate! if you are ever in the land of cider aka somerset, shout cos i'll still gladly help but nothing cept the pogues or the levellers will generally be able to tempt me into the city so i wont be in london again for the foreseeable future. cities are scary places!
I think that deep cleaning contoction does a good job at moving it along, but the wax isn't water soluable so you have to melt it before it will shift! Well, as far as i know anyway, i may be wrong!
