Dreadlocks update for month 93!
93 months into my dreadlocks journey, checking in for a quick update on what's been going on over the last month. Talking a little about tied up dreads causing looser roots, the shampoo I've been using this month as well as the ever increasing length.
I've never seen anyone actually mention *trimming* dreadlocks, but I've been curious about it. Could I request more info on that? Just found your blog last night and then liked your FB page just now. Also subscribed to your YouTube channel.
ReplyDeleteI find I get headaches if I wear a bandanna (folded to be a wide headband) all day, but I do alright if I just tie my dreads back (using my dreads). My roots are... ugh. So I like to cover them. I had root maintenance done recently, but was not thrilled with the results as I have loose hairs again already. I look forward to learning more about your routine through your blog and FB page.

There can often be some discomfort if the dreadlocks are pulled in directions that they don't necessarily want to be pulled in - though when they're tied back with themselves they're generally not being held all that tight and so will not usually pull as much - well, apart from on the dreads that are being used to do the tying. Over time dreadlocks can sort of 'get used' to being kept in certain positions - the roots will loosen/tighten according to how they're laying / how they're being pulled and so the discomfort should subside.
