My 77 month dreadlock update - Talking about any changes that have taken place since last month: A few new dreads forming and a whole lot of separating. Also checking out some new dread accessories.

How Often Should You Wash Dreads?

New video where I talk about how often you should wash your dreads. We all know that dreadlocks need to be kept clean, despite what all the "dirty dread" myths have to say on the matter. I quite often get asked how often dreads should be washed, as some people say every other day, others say a couple of times a week and then some different people that say once a week... this causes a lot of confusion, especially since everyone is right!

My Timeline

Put together a timeline of my hair. I'm at 5 years 7 months now and this video races through that time in around 2 minutes!

Me and my dreadlocks

I'm Chris, I live in Sheffield in the UK. I'm currently 22 and I've had Dreadlocks for over 7 years. Over this time I've seen, heard and experienced most things that can and will happen to people who choose this particular hair 'style' and I hope to pass and post some of this knowledge on here.

My Dreadlocks were started in May 2007. They were originally started using the backcomb method. Unfortunately at the time of me taking my dreads, there was no Lazy Dread blog! So I wasn't aware of the dangers of wax... now I know first hand. The dreadlocks that were initially formed via the wax and backcomb were hard, stiff and retained water (so were difficult to dry). Dirt also sticks to the wax and it's really hard to clean. So... I probably had around 8 inch dreadlocks to begin with and as soon as they started to gain length I cut off all the original dread length. So the dreadlocks I have left on my head are 100% wax free and 100% formed by natural processes as I have not re-backcombed. That is why I recommend choosing your starting process, be it backcomb, neglect or twist and rip etc and the leave them alone. They won't need touching up and they definitely don't need wax!

I've had various length dreads now from the same set (I've only had one continuous set of dreads over the years). I cut all the original growth and now I tend to cut them right back before summer. I like to vacation in summer and they're much easier to wash and dry when they're shorter. Also much easier to swim!

Here is a video documenting my hair from 0 months to 5 years and 7 months!
