RASTA from Creation here!

Hey Guys! I have a question for my Dreadlocked Rasta brethren with caucasion hair. What brand of wax do you think is the best? I have been Rasta for two months now and I'm trying to do my dreadlocks but I can't get them to stick when I twist them. Dreadhead HQ doesn't work that well. Maybe Knottyboy will? I've been looking at their stuff and I might just order the Rasta Hat too.

The guy I buy weed from says that he knows people that used pomade. I found some in the store that smells like mangoes! How do I go about doing this?

And what is the best way to make the tips round like Bob Marley's?

peace and JAH LOVE!!!!!

P.S. Here's an old picture of me from last year. Anyways, What do you think I'll look like with dreads? (I might get extensions too-probably red and black ones)

 

Last night I had a dream tina turners twin sister tuna turner. She was in jail and called about desire for wacky car insurance.

Fuckin geico duder.

 

:troll::lurk5:

 

Justin Bieber is a rasta?!

 

This Has Come As A Suprise To Me Too....



Cheers Glen.

 

Are you trying to make fun of me? I look nothing like that tool.

 

You're fucking Asian. What's with the black avi? Christ alive you're a mess.

 

I'm not 'fucking Asian' I have no idea what you're talking about.


Can anybody just answer my question? I'm about to just buy the whole kit with the tam the shampoo and the comb and wax. it's almost $70 with shipping but I REALLY need to have dreadlocks before school starts.

 

Super glue > wax

 

go for the kit man at $70 its a steal!

 

That is the best kit out there although the wax it comes with still needs to be coated with Vaseline for it to do its job.

Especially for Asian hair.

 

He's like half Asian or something so he knows best

Wax is no good. Just Vaseline will work as it's more transparent than wax. Wax is only good for ligher coloured hair. Vaseline is the way to go for darker hair.

 

I.... uhh... wouldn't know.
I have the kinkiest hair on earth.

 

You look Asian. I for damn sure know you're not black.

I can't believe I'm about to say but this but you should have read the FAQ. You won't have locs by the time school starts.


5 Stages of Locs

From the book Nice Dreads by Lonnice Brittenum Bonner

1. Coils — Coils resemble tightly coiled springs that look like baby spirals and can be as small as a watch spring or fluid and loose as fusilli. Hair can be as short or as long as one likes. The key factor here is that your hair is able to form and hold a coil, but the hair within the coil has not yet begun to intertwine or mesh.

2. Sprouts and Buds — Known as Sprouting or Budding ins that miraculous moment when the magic has begun. First, you shampoo your hair and notice that all of a sudden, the coils don't all wash out like they used to. You may notice that some of your coils have little knots of hair in them, about the size of a small pea. This knot is more or less the nucleus of each lock; the hairs in your coils have begun to intertwine and interlace. Individual coils may seem puffy and lose their tightly coiled shape; this is part of the process and shouldn't be disturbed. What is important here is to keep the original scalp partings, to allow the spinning process to become established for each individual lock. Don't redivide your budding locks, twist them to death, or get to patting them down, trying to make your hair look "nice," because you'll just end up with a badly packed, busted-out do.

3. Teen or Locking Stage — This is when the buds and sprouts truly begin to look like locks and few, if any, locks shampoo out or come out during sleep. The peas you saw and felt in the budding stage have expanded, and the hair has spun into a network of intertwining strands that extend throughout the length of individual locks. The locks may be soft and pliable or feel loosely meshed, according to your hair's texture. This is the growing stage of lock development, and it extends into the lock's mature stage. Shampooing doesn't loosen these locks. They have dropped, which means they have developed enough to hang down versus defying gravity. This is when you start to relax and feel more confident about locking.

4. Mature Stage — Each individual lock is firmly meshed or tightly interwoven. Some loosely coiled hair textures may retain a small curl or coil at the end of the locks, but most will probably be closed at the ends. You will begin to see consistent growth because each lock has intertwined and contracted into a cylindrical shape. Think of each individual lock as a hair strand in itself. The new growth is contained in the loose hair at the base or root of each individual lock, and regular grooming encourages it to spin into an intertwined coil that will be integrated with the lock.

5. Beyond Maturity — Think of this stage as akin to the shedding stage of hair growth. After many years, depending on the care you have lavished on your locks, some locks may begin to thin and break off at the ends. For the most part, this deterioration can be minimized and controlled by monitoring the ends of your locks for signs of age and getting regular trims.

 

Thanks man. I had to wait for my mom to come home from work, but I finally ordered it. Express shipping- should be here in a few days!

What does being black have to do with anything? are you saying I can't have dreadlocks because I'm not black? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! White people have dreadlocks too! A lot of my friends who are also Rastas are white and they have dreadlocks!

 

No you asshat. Go back and read.

Underneath your name there is an avatar. A brown one sporting a fro. You are neither sporting a fro nor brown. Then again you can't read a FAQ and I know you didn't read the 5 Stages of Locs I posted so...why am I surprised?

 

cheez whiz works great for locs too. So go ahead...get cuhrrrrazy with the cheez whiz!



[Ive really wanted to say that phrase today and am now stoked that I found a way to use it!] Shaweeet.

 

:rofl

 

i can't wait for the sequel to this thread.. "i had to shave my head"

 

LOL i hope this is a joke.

when i'm new to a forum i tend to read sticky posts that are titled something like "**Read this BEFORE POSTING or risk being flamed!**"

but then again.. thats just me.
