I read some interesting Dreading stuff right now. I worry a lot about my hair being soft & silky & thin & not alot & stuff, so I try to find as much info as possible to ease the dreading..

I'm checking out Perfect Dreadlocks . Com at the moment and found some interesting FAQ parts..
I have very fine slippery hair, will it dread? Yep, your hair will dread, you will probably want to use the backcombing method because you will have the best results. The hair might slip out a little, if you don't backcomb the dreads tight enough, so make sure you do, and make sure you put rubber bands at the tips. Wich is a nice tip since I tought no rubber to be needed (aargh, now I gotta find that crap :/) And an interesting issue I hadnt tought about, being Do I have to stop conditioning my hair for a long time before I dread it? I recommend not using conditioner for about a week before you dread, because it can make the dreading process easier. Its really logical! But I really hadnt tought about it! & Yes, even as a guy I use the chem stuff on my hair :D why? Coz I HATE having to comb my hair for half an hour after showering!!

Other interesting issues are.. Is there any way to mess up if I am backcombing? Yes there is. You can mess up while your backcombing if you push to much hair forward at a time. Some people get confused and push all the hair forward at one time. You should hold the hair taught and only push about an inch at a time. You will only push a few hairs into the dread at a time. But it is a long process and you should know if before you start. Gooood to know! or Should I start in a specific area of my head when I start backcombing? You should start with the back and bottom of your head. Backcombing is a skill and you get better at it the more you do it. So the last ones you do will look the best and you want your best to be the ones people see and your worst to be the ones hidden. So it only makes sense to start in the back. A good idea when starting dreads with the backcombing method is to get some synthetic hair and backcomb a dread or two to get the hang of it before you start on your head. And even some more Rubber Band info.. What will the rubber band do at the end of the dread? And how long should you keep it there? The rubber band at the tip is used to help keep the dreads together when they are new and it helps the tip lock up once the dreads are tight. If it is just a regular rubber band then you should just leave it there until it falls off, but if it is one of those super Scunci elastics then it will never fall off, you should take it off after three months.

Something about Dreads being Dirty? How often can I wash my dreads? You should make a habit of washing your dreadlocks every 3 days, but really, you can wash them as often as you like, but you should wash them at least once a week.


Its an interesting site, really! Even has Wax Considerations! Wich Wax to use making me doubt thee knotty boy wax for long periods. I Do Not like heavy smells, some smells actually, so IF that wax d smell too strong I might have a problem with it :/ The wax kind they advise has a nice site (check link earlier @ blog) but lacks info @ stores selling in Europe :/ Oh, just found info, but it lacks Belgian stores! :/ Bitch :/

anywho, im off to bed, i'm fuuuckien tired & have the Playtest fun tomorow :D Yay! :) hehe

I wonder.. If I d blog that I was madly thinking about a special girl.. and she read my blog.. Would she know I was talking bout her? & would she come & talk to me about it? :)
aah questions in life :D
