Hi all :) Just thought i'd show my hair off from my Exhibition opening last night, which required me to look semi-professional haha (which is hard for me!) i curled my fringe, and just knotted my hair up at the back and put an elastic around it to be sure, cos it's damn heavy now @ 3 years!  Front! Excuse me being all shiny, we're in the middle of a heatwave in Adelaide, over a week of weather over 35 deg celcius (95 fahrenheit!).

Here is a crazy slow-mo video of a dude who has ridiculously long luscious dreads (like ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cottonmouthdn , long) flipping them backwards.
Enjoy :)
PS. Also in entertainment news Shakira apparently has "dreads". Some guy on twitter, TristanSanders, tweeted this story from this website. Sometimes the beliefs people hold make me shake my head. I replied: "Shakira doesn't have dreads. Those are just twisted pieces of hair with some wax in them. She won't keep them a week." Let's start a friendly bet. How long do you think they'll be around for?

| Dr. Bronners...not such a fan. |
[11 Nov 2009|04:49pm] |
EDIT: I looked through the memories and saw that many people dilute it...but I was using a bar so I'm guessing that can't be diluted haha.
So I had bought the Dr. Bronners peppermint to try out and it made my hair feel DUNDUNDUN...WAXY!
Yuck anyway I thought I hadn't rinsed it well enough so i rinsed it again and still gross so I had to use my other shampoo to actually get it out of my hair. I think I'm going to stick to using this for my body only. I'm just wondering if anyone had similar experiences with it? Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong but I don't think so. I mean i worked a lather up in my hands and scrubbed at my scalp and such. Hmm.

I haven't updated in aaaages. I do linger from time to time though, but now I'm back properly! I've missed all you beautiful dreadies.
Here's a few recent pictures of my dreads. They're growing! Yay! Also, I wanted to get opinions on whether I should dye my dreads a cherry red or not. I'm undecided, I love red on me & I feel like a change, but I every time I see a picture I think 'oooh, I like the colours in my dreads'. Hm!
Edit: I apologise for forgetting to do the lj cut. I've just tried to do it twice the way I always do it, but for some reason it isn't working for me. Hm. Hope I didn't piss you guys off too much:s But Lish would have deleted it if I hadn't remebered! :) I'll post properly WITH lj cut when I have time to mess around with it & figure out what I'm doing wrong. Sorry again.

| New Dreads :D |
[12 Nov 2009|11:12am] |
hi, this is my first post here under this name... i was mad1season a while agoo.. before i cut off my dreads. i planned to do them again in a couple of years (now!!) i made the mistake of using wax and was constantly at war with those dreads, so they had to go.
now i'm 6 days in and they are beginning to lock up rather well, i'm so happy with them!

| Dreadlocks world record |

Stumbled across this video today and thought everyone else might find it interesting. Some pretty impressive locks :)
Asha Mandela broke the Guinness world record for longest dreadlocks on a female when one of her locks measured longer than 19 feet.

| curly dreads |
[11 Nov 2009|08:45pm] |
My dreads are all curly, my hair (before dreaded) was very curly, and got even more curly when wet, and I used DreadHead HQ tightening spray which I do like, it is good, and it made my hair wet and my dreads are curly, but I like it..its cute!

Is anyone planning a spontaneous trip down to L.A (yes L.A not the surrounding area) this weekend and has room in their car for 2 ladies?? This is a spur of the moment trip but we would both be willing to pitch in gas, money, snacks, etc.

This is before:
In the last three months, I combed out about half of my two year old dreads and made them into new, thinner ones. Then I added extentions.
( See the change! )

here's a fun new community game. put your head back as far as you can & take a picture of your dreads from the back. take another of your full back standing normally, & post it next to the first. how will your dreads look in 1-3 years?
 ( compared to reality... )
feel free to post your pics in comments here, or start a new post depending on how much effort you'd like to put in. ;)
