Just did a photoshoot and my dreads look pretty nice. So here's a few.
Possibly NSFW. Hope the cut works.

Felting dreads? [July 15th, 2009 @10:05 PM]

eccentricterri
I have very new dreads but decided that I wanted to felt some wool on a few various dreads. I did this with just wrapping the wool roving around the dread instead of using the felting needle. I just used very warm, slightly soapy water on the roving fiber. It has stayed for over a week without any issues. Has anyone else tried this method with success? I figured it would be much easier to remove if it starts stinking or rotting.

My husband doesn't appreciate the dreads. He is a fan of the bright colors of the fake dreads. I really do enjoy the colors, well.

5yr Dreadlock Timeline! [July 15th, 2009 @1:11 PM]

Heyy, I'm Laura. Long time member, first time poster. I just celebrated my dreads 5th birthday in June. They've certainly come a long way. I decided to celebrate by compiling a picture timeline.
They were started by Alin (http://www.dollylocks.com/) of Hair Police in NYC. ("dread perm")
The lovely and talented [info]simply was my wonderful friend and crochet maintainer in Massachusetts for years before I recently relocated across the country.
I am currently representing dreadheads in academia in the beautiful state of Oregon!
Can anyone recommend someone for crochet style dread maintenance in or around the Portland/Eugene, OR areas?? (the darlings are getting a bit messy, especially since the pool opened)

Anyhow, enough language. Onto the pics !!

Dreads vs. Twist [July 14th, 2009 @5:50 PM]

I have a mini fro going on right now and plan on dreading my hair. But my question is how do I know what technique will get me the best dreads. I heard twisting, backcombing, twist and pin and a few others. Would anyone know which technique would work best with african american, curly, thin hair? Thanks

first deep clean! [July 14th, 2009 @4:04 PM]

I did my first deep clean last week. My dread are almost 5 months old. I planned on waiting to post until I had all the pictures from my 4th of july weekend and such but my sister's computer is being fixed by my brother so she can't send them to me yet. So here are the deep clean photos from my phone.

!!!! )


That was right after the fourth of july and that weekend I had gone up to my grandma's in Gladwin, MI. She lives on a river and I did a lot of swimming. I thought I should deep clean my hair after that, rivers are dirrrrtyyyy.
