The Dready Meet & Greet Post!

well hi I've been hanging around here for a long time, only haven't introduced myself yet. my name is puppy, I'm in the middle of the natural dread journey. okay, more at the beginning. my hair is at most 7 or 8 cm long, and I haven't brushed it in 16 months (although in between I did cut it twice in a weird state of mind) so far I've got nothing I could call dreads, but I do have some tangles and I feel all around good so I like this site, you all seem very kind and very wise. blessings!

 

i need to get a better shot of them. but they're a litle over a year and a half old now.

 

I like your hair, boog! and your face



after my friend and I bleached our hair out of pure boredom. You can't really see my dreads that well, and my hair is still all wet in these pictures, but whatever.
i'm at around 3 months

 

i can see em...you have a nice smile

 

who, me? thank you

 

Hello, my name's Manny and I've been growing my locks for 8 months

Headshot


Some dreads going on

 

Rocky, I love your crazy hair !!

 

Saluton. I have finally upgraded my status from lurker to poster, so hello everyone!

I started on the road to dreadlocks about 7 months ago (I went for back combing if anyone's interested...), they're coming along nicely after much TLC and are kind of starting to feel like actual dreadlocks, not just a collection of unkempt hairs. There may even be some sort of pictures at some point if I can get round to it...

I've become obsessed with everything about dreadlocks lately, this forum seems like a fantastic place to learn even more about them! Fantastic.

Rave it up all!

 

Oh, hello. I'm pretty new around here, as you can tell...

Well, I used to have dreads but since they weren't completely of my liking at the time, I took them out. But I still have the bottom half of my hair dreaded, and I'm planning on dreading again once my hair grows a bit more.

I've had the few dreads that I do have for a year and a half.

:]

 

Hola everyone I've been lurking around a bit over the past month or so and finally decided I would say hi!
I started my Dreads in November, then sometime around February I joined a bunch of them together because they were too thin. I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can.

 

Manny, what's up my brutha!?

Hello people, I wandered over into this forum from KnottyLocks and I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Byron and my locks started growing on me about 3 months ago. Several years ago I was sucked into the KnottyBoy scam, backcombed/waxed and all that, ended up cutting after about a month. But now I have decided to go natural and loving every minute of the journey!

Here is one pic from a couple weeks ago, I will probably take some new pics in a few days and post em up.

 

awesome ya definately will havge some sweet naturalk dreadies

 

Thanks man, I love watching the progress every day. My hair is always changing and evolving, just like me ;P

 

this is just one week

 

Hey everyone, well this is my second set. As so many others i got sucked into DHHQ and I cut after about a year and 1/2. it's been three years since then and I decided it's time. I did some backcombing about 2 1/2 weeks ago and now I am just letting them do their thang.

 

Hey everyone. I'm Celise, originally from Morganton, North Carolina. I now live in Canada though.
I found this forum by going in a google search for Dreadlock Forums. Shocking! I know.
I came mostly looking for tips for maintenance, as I have had trouble keeping some of mine rounded and stuff of that nature.

I originally wanted to lock up because a couple of my greatest influences had dreads, Jessicka Fodera (lead singer from Jack off Jill and Scarling) and Daniel Lioneye (lead guitarist from HIM). But I noticed afterward how much different I felt with dreads, and how much of a spiritual thing it is.

Anyway, I do have a few other hobbies besides locking up. I've been playing guitar for about 6 years, I'm a huge comic book nerd and I love gaming. Into tattoos and some piercings as well.

 

hi new to this place ect but I really didnt believe waxing was bad despite what ppl told me. But now I'm convinced and have not put wax in my dreadies that are 3wks old. I've had dreads before but like an idiot cut themoff So starting again! any hints to keep them looking together is palmrolling really needed? I used to just play with them and they were fine soo any thing new I can pick up? Thanks for all the hints and lets keep the knottieness going!!!

 

Awesome dreads they are beauties!

 

I'm doing the natrual thing with my dreads feeling a little nervous but excited too! Befor I did all the bs spent $72 on knottyboy and the only thing I use now is the shampoo and the anti itch spray. sigh I could have soo much more monies

 

Hello,

I'm new here. I was actually looking up crochet patterns for hats for my dreads and stumbled upon this site. And now I am a member! I've had my dreads for a few weeks now...love 'em. It will be nice to chat to you all!

Love and Light,
Lanie
