i think your dreads look great. just a tip though - if you ever get rid of them -- and have an itch to have them again - try sectioning your hair into sections that are 1 inch x 1 inch. i think they would look more natural. more…

Well as i said to Natasha i did have my reasons, and i have had them for quite a while.

Regarding your own locks, here's my advice.

Get it right from the start as this will save a lot of time.

You need to really work on them, making sure that you get all the loose hair in those other locks.

Thanks more…

well, that's dedication for you. Just found your site today off knottyboy.com, and now you've chopped them off!!! But you have to do things like this occasionally i suppose, so good on you.

Well, if you start up again in the future consider accessories (I need to find a more manly word, perhaps... ummm, "hair stuff") like a head band, no snag elastics, etc.

There's some to consider here...

Well as you may know from my links i am a Wing Chun Gung Fu lover and i always said that if my locks started to get in the way of my training i would have to let them go.

I had training last night and they would not behave so they had to go.

Thanks for all the good vibes

Peace

Good grief, man! What happened?

I'm one to talk, I cut my locks 13 months ago for a mystical reason and will be starting 'em up again in January.

Do let us know what the cryptic message is about. Enquiring minds and all that...

Get Locked Up!

What wax is it?

Beeswax as an ingredient is fine just not pure beeswax plus you only need very little.

Only about a small peas size for each dread.

As for your roots, they will always be undreaded.

The reason for this is that the locking process takes place at the point after the 2 inches or so of more…

If my roots dont dread up...is there nething i can do? or do i just have to deal?

I just read the lable on the way i used last time...it says it has petrolium, fregrance, and beeswax...could that have been a cause to the not so greatness of my last dreads?

Thanx much,

Hey, hows it goin? I have a question for you... I have been thinking about dreads recently and I want to use the method you used, by backcombing. I was wondering, does it make your hair a lot shorter? My hair is thick, and just barely past my shoulders, and im afraid its going to stick up when im done. Thanks :-) more…

Relieve your hot head by putting your fav spritz in the fridge (I think it's called an "ice box" overseas, right?). Give yerself a dozen sprays before you head out. Keeping your natural hair products in the fridge will extend their shelf life anyway.

Another tip is to soak your tam in water before going out. Depending on the *kind* of more…

I second and third what everyone's said here (minus the martial arts stuff...but only 'cuz I have no clue 'bout that).

Keep up the great advice you're doling out to the masses and keep up those great looking locks!

Well man, it wouldn't do them any harm if that's what you mean?

But new dreads tend to be a bit stiff (cus of the wax).

But all in all i don't see it as a problem

If you want to have a rough idea of how they will look at the beggining you can check out my photo site diary here:

Thanks! yes this is a diary of my hair locks and to discuss hair locking in general.

Yes i do practise Wing chun but this art is quite new to me as well. My martial arts background is Taekwondo, but since practising WC i have found something which is so absorbing in it's approach that i think i will continue with WC for the rest of my more…
