I've given up on the in profile timeline, the whole thing was lost when dt crashed last year and dt is now so slow I'm not inspired to redo all those uploads. Most photos are in the timeline thread!

  • Natural products certainly can smell that strong. Essential oils area very powerful. I just used the (conditioning) Godiva for the first time and I love it! My dreads are mature and I live in the desert...

  • Ziggy replied in forum topic Palm rolling
    Palm rolling (gently, while wet, for 30 seconds or less) works for me to slowly turn flat dreads back into cylinders, but has no effect at all on my lumpy, bumpy bits.

  • My hair dreaded very quickly, with minimal messiness and no "falling out" of the t&r I did. I don't wash my hair in the shower usually, I do it in the bath. Before and after shampooing I swish my hair...

  • Thank you! Mine never did fall out or get really messy, I think living in the desert is part of it. I'm suspicious, though, of how much my washing habits effected that. I rarely shower, I wash my hair...

  • Ziggy created a new forum topic Watching my ends blunt
    I thought this was interesting enough to share. My dreads are 2.5 years with long whispy tips. A few of my ends blunted themselves when I wasn't looking. I finally caught one doing it and it was interesting...

  • Ziggy replied in forum topic Dreadlock Shampoos on Etsy?
    I bought some recently from a seller I can't look up right now. It was a carrot spice scent and she sells good sized samples cheap. It left a LOT of residue, a very dry film. After two shampoos I won't...

    Going against the flow, I'm going to try this. I haven't been able to give up my super fluffy blankets so I'm always picking blanket lint out of my hair. I'm also thinking that this technique, done very...

  • Ziggy replied in forum topic Dryed out Dreadlocks
    That shampoo dries my hair out terribly, and doctor bronners leaves a yucky drying film on my hair. I condition once a month or so by putting a squirt of Neutrogena conditioner in a cup full of warm water,...

  • Oh, honey, no. You don't just have to live with it because it's how you are. If it was an ulcer would you not treat the pain because that's just how your stomach is? Do you suffer through headaches because...

  • I was happy with the appearance of my dreads at 4 months, they weren't in any way solid but they completely looked it. However, I started with hip length hair, it took the twist and rip really well, and...

    Dr. Bronners leaves a horrible film on my dreads. Can't use it at all. I use Lush.

  • A llittle late, but...the hot pink only worked so-so. I picked up a bottle of flaming bright fuschia and that did the job, all of the blue is now purple. Much more flattering on me.
