interview hair! [November 16th, 2009 @4:50 PM] shutter i had a casual interview today & i thought i'd take photos of how i did my hair, since i think this is the cutest i've ever done it since i got it dreaded. i was actually a little TOO fancy today, everyone at the place was wearing scuzzy t-shirts & jeans! ( +4 ) as requested, a brief tutorial: step one: pull hair back in a high & tight ponytail step two: take a smaller hairtie & band all of the ends of the ponytail together step three: tuck the end of the ponytail along with the band under & into the hairtie you used to tie your hair back step four (optional): take straight pins & pin the side dreads down to your head to form more of a ball shape step five: add some sort of scarf! i had a random piece of fabric that i used that was too short to wrap around twice, so i started at the back of my head, went around a little past where it started & then flipped it through itself. step six: tada! read (11) comment | edit

Update!! [November 16th, 2009 @3:06 PM] nannerskins I haven't posted any pictures of my dreads lately so I guess I am due for a tiny update! Well My husband had crocheted a couple of my dreads and then he stopped, mostly because our schedules were conflicting and I would do them myself but I am FAR TOO lazy! haha so he does my dread matainence for me, what a great guy eh?! Anyways, they will be 14 months at the end of the week and time is flying!! They are coming a long good I think. Some have joined together but I let them do that mostly because they were REALLY thin and I wanted them to be thicker so I have some conjoined twins & triplets :p Now all they have to do is GROW GROW and everything will be 98% perfect! haha ( onward! ) read (2) comment | edit

[November 16th, 2009 @11:09 AM] kelseyraex [ mood | curious ] [ music | nothing. ] this weekend, i went to the beach. i meant to pick up some salt water while i was there, to pour over my head, or soak my head in, but i didnt have a chance to, seeing as it was DUMPING rain the entire time and i didnt dare venture towards that angry looking ocean. if i really wanted to, i could probably just go buy some sea salt and mix some up on my own, but now wheres the fun in that?! instead, im going to go to the craft store and pick out some clay and make myself some dread decorations. i only have one, big ol' pink wooden bead. thats it. i want more. unfortunately, there arent many actual BEAD shops around here. at least not ones that sell beads big enough for dreads. =[ also, while i was looking through the "bead" memories, i didnt see anything specifying about removing beads and stuff like that. how many of you leave them in when you shower? take them out? i imagine most clay beads, like the ones i intend to make, need to come out before washing since water probably makes them more brittle, but i was just curious. <3 read (6) comment | edit

UPDATION [November 16th, 2009 @3:22 PM] cias_btb Hi all, Recently iv'e had the most itchy scalp and it had gotten the the point where i would scratch so much that it would bleed a little...not good at all hey. That also meant ALOT of dandruff and sore spots mainly on the back of my head. However, i did a clean with baking soda, lemon, tea tree oil and salt and it was amazing. im not itchy at all and it made my dreads tighter and cleaner..pretty happy about it =] So here are some pics of whats been happening in my life.

[November 15th, 2009 @5:49 PM] coynej [ music | metric- raw sugar ] i am happy to report that the t-gel i purchased has helped me a great deal with my dandruff. lately i have been neglecting my dreads, just letting them be. i haven't palm rolled or crocheted in quite a while. maybe its only been a few days but it feels longer than that. they've been growing tons of loops this month. i hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend! read (2) comment | edit

Fringe/bangs question [November 15th, 2009 @7:27 PM] evilweezel I've been through the memories and can't find a section specifically for fringes. I was hoping to find some inspirational pics of dreads/bangs combo, as am contemplating combing 3 dreads out (it would be two if not for my sodding widows peak) so I have a bit of hair to play with... Can anyone link me please? Ta lovlies! x read (53) comment | edit
