hello and much love to all!
i am a new member here, and this is my very first post, and i wanted
to introduce myself, and give greetings!
i have been a lover of dreadlocks for many years, and i finally
decided to go with my desires and let my hair lock up. i started
them about 2 months ago by sectioning and backcombing. so far things
are wonderful, and i look forward to the journey and stages my locks
will experience. i had helped my husband in the past with his, and
so i felt very comfortable. they are tightening well, and though it
hasn't been long, i am pretty pleased. i am one to do alot of
research, and one thing i am concerned about is moisturizers. i wash
my hair about 2 times a week with a dreadlock shampoo from
dreadheadhq.com that a friend gave me. i am on the hunt for other
natural and chemical/additive free shampoos, and i have found that
this washing schedule seems to work pretty well for me. every so
often, i spray them with a salt water mix i made, and otherwise i
leave them alone. i do not use any wax or dressings, as i was a
little worried they would cause buildup and greasiness and slow the
locking process. i had used dreadheadhq beeswax in my husbands
locks, and i really used too much.(he no longer has locks) my locks
don't feel too dry, but i am a bit concerned that perhaps i should
be using some oils or something to keep moisture in my locks to
prevent breaking, etc. I would like to use essential oils, would
this be okay? what do you sweet dreaded folks use, if anything, to
moisturize your locks? what sort of schedule, if any, do you use to
wash your locks, and if you do wash them, what kind of soap or
shampoo do you use? i think i need to make a trip to the health
store! any help would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks, great vibes, and much love and blessings to everyone!!
om shanti!!

hello and much love to all!
i am a new member here, and this is my very first post, and i wanted
to introduce myself, and give greetings!
i have been a lover of dreadlocks for many years, and i finally
decided to go with my desires and let my hair lock up. i started
them about 2 months ago by sectioning and backcombing. so far things
are wonderful, and i look forward to the journey and stages my locks
will experience. i had helped my husband in the past with his, and
so i felt very comfortable. they are tightening well, and though it
hasn't been long, i am pretty pleased. i am one to do alot of
research, and one thing i am concerned about is moisturizers. i wash
my hair about 2 times a week with a dreadlock shampoo from
dreadheadhq.com that a friend gave me. i am on the hunt for other
natural and chemical/additive free shampoos, and i have found that
this washing schedule seems to work pretty well for me. every so
often, i spray them with a salt water mix i made, and otherwise i
leave them alone. i do not use any wax or dressings, as i was a
little worried they would cause buildup and greasiness and slow the
locking process. i had used dreadheadhq beeswax in my husbands
locks, and i really used too much.(he no longer has locks) my locks
don't feel too dry, but i am a bit concerned that perhaps i should
be using some oils or something to keep moisture in my locks to
prevent breaking, etc. I would like to use essential oils, would
this be okay? what do you sweet dreaded folks use, if anything, to
moisturize your locks? what sort of schedule, if any, do you use to
wash your locks, and if you do wash them, what kind of soap or
shampoo do you use? i think i need to make a trip to the health
store! any help would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks, great vibes, and much love and blessings to everyone!!
om shanti!!

The exam preparation course for Ohio natural hairstylists is up and
running.  If you're covered under 4713.34 (Reciprocity) then it will
count as adequate exam preparation.  If you're a native of Ohio you
still have to do your 450 hours, but I'm hoping that will change if I
manage to put out some stellar scoring stylists.

Those not from Ohio are free to take the course for vocational
orientation purposes, but you'll probably like the one at UniversalClass
better because it's 10 bucks cheaper and much more casual.

To take the Ohio course go to http://studyitonline.com/pns/ and sign up,
and then click on the course name at the top right, and request
enrollment.  It's only $30 even though I've been busting my tail for 2
months on it.

It's got all the braiding techniques...cornrows, dreadlocks, box braids,
fishbone tracks, weaving, bonding, etc.  Plus you can request patterns
and styles if you like.

Hi i don't know what type of hair you have but youcan start to dred your hair
when its about 4/5 inches long you don't want it right to the root it would be
too tight maybe thats why your extensions are falling out if your extensions are
falling off  you can use cotton what ever colour your hair is i was told to use
little elastic bands but i wouldn't recomend it it can rip your dreads. if your
hair is thin where it joins extensions they havn't divided your dreads
equally,its just as important that its right even without extensions.
hope this can help ask any time i'll try to help!!

Hey there,
I just joined this post, but my advise is...you should only retighten
your dreads with a crochet hook, or whatever method you use only
about every three or four weeks.  The fuzzyiness is a stage that all
locks go through, (some more than others) so just let them do their
thing.
Over time they will settle down and become more uniform
and less fuzzy.  Locks go through stages, and you have to let the
stages take place at their own pace.  I think that alot of us make
the mistake of being too anxious about our locks, and we touch, gel,
beeswax, tighten, whatever to them too much.  Try to relax and enjoy
the journey, and your locks will too.  I tighten my locks using the
latch hook method.  My hair is growing like crazy, (about 1/2 inch or
more every month) but I only retighten them once a month or so.  Not
a day goes by that I dont get complimented (several sometimes from
different people) about my locks. Come next April it will be three
years for me wearing locks. If you retighen them too much, you will
put too much stain on the hair follicles and litteraly pull them out
by the roots.  Just keep them clean and moisturized, and the rest
will follwow.

Hey there,
I just joined this post, but my advise is...you should only retighten
your dreads with a crochet hook, or whatever method you use only
about every three or four weeks.  The fuzzyiness is a stage that all
locks go through, (some more than others) so just let them do their
thing.
Over time they will settle down and become more uniform
and less fuzzy.  Locks go through stages, and you have to let the
stages take place at their own pace.  I think that alot of us make
the mistake of being too anxious about our locks, and we touch, gel,
beeswax, tighten, whatever to them too much.  Try to relax and enjoy
the journey, and your locks will too.  I tighten my locks using the
latch hook method.  My hair is growing like crazy, (about 1/2 inch or
more every month) but I only retighten them once a month or so.  Not
a day goes by that I dont get complimented (several sometimes from
different people) about my locks. Come next April it will be three
years for me wearing locks. If you retighen them too much, you will
put too much stain on the hair follicles and litteraly pull them out
by the roots.  Just keep them clean and moisturized, and the rest
will follwow.

Submission Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in Dreads @Yahoo! Groups.

you would like the position, please let me know.

Specifics on Submissions

may have some Carribbean, African, or other slang so long
as it could be understood by someone who may not be from
the regions.  Some of our readers may not be native
speakers of English, and may need to use translation
software.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
	 Personal Stories to do with dreads
	 How you came to wear dreadlocks
	 Legends and Stories of ancestors or deities with

Dreadlocks Site of the Week - A Rastafarian, Voudun, Asatru,

personal homepage of someone with dreadlocks, or an informative
site, whatever.  It can be commercial so long as it has something
legit to do with dreadlocks.

auction links, announcements, memorials, thanks and penances, etc.

weekly inspiration, or whatever.  Pick a subject.  You'll be expected
to produce one article of about 200 to 500 words per month.

useful and inspirational dreadlocks links.  This list will be sent
out twice a week.  Send links in straight away, with the site title,
url, and description, in this format:

Description:  This site is about So and So's journey...you get the
point.

You may post submissions to the group: dreads@yahoogroups.com
or you may send them to me for inclusion in the next Monday's
issue at webmatron@...

Dreads News will not only be posted in this group, but in any other
dreadlocks or natural hairstyles oriented site that will accept it.

is posted anywhere other than our site, in case anyone has a reason
why they don't want their content associated with something.

means you prefer.  The more you promote it, the more it will promote
you.

At this point I have been wearing my dreads for over 10 years, I find that
when I wash my hair I no longer need any wax. I use a product called "got 2be
,spiked-up"... this is a styling gel that the punkers use to make spikes in
their hair
It locks my locks in place for weeks. They don't get fuzzy at the roots,
until there is new growth. The hair will be stiff for a few days but then it
softens up. I hope this helps.. check out my pic at the sight

Effect's Jojoba Wax is good for this.  I think they have another brand
at Sally's as well called dreads gel or something, but I can't vouch for
their quality because I haven't used it.  I've heard good things about
it though.  Most of the rest of what's on the market is crap for dreads.

The hair wax usually lasts a week with one application so long as you
wear a wrap to bed, and washes out alot more easily than gel.  Be
advised that being normally a professional product, it will keep it
tight, so easy on the twisting near the roots.  However it sets in is
pretty much how it'll stay.  It sets soft though.

If you don't want to use a wax for spiritual reasons, then you might try
tightening them with a latch hook tool or crochetting some wool cord
around the roots to help it matt naturally.

Blessings :)
