Im in Philly, an at the time he didnt come here but I was gonna ride out to DC or NY whenever he was scheduled there. Then he started coming to Philly a couple months ago, but I done built a rapport with the girl who does my hair so... eh. Was definitely salty when I couldn't get through with him though lol -
started almost 6 months ago. get em re twisted every 2 or 3 weeks for $50

How do you post a pic? Tinypic won't let me browse.
-
I used tinylic, just copy paste the "forum" link in the message box.
-
I'm trying to upload the pic though where it says browse. I click it but it won't do anything.
-
Usually when you click browse it opens up explorer on your pc, then you just select a pic to up.

Another thumbs up to the OP..

I have been growing mine for about 8 years now...

Been looking for a dreadsock, unable to locate one so I brought another durag yesterday
Man....... -
I'm thinking of getting locs in the near future. Right now I have (mini) fro and as it continues to grow, it's getting very tiresome picking and brushing through it to make sure it looks right.
Approximately how many inches of hair do I need to get decent looking locs? Or does everyone have to start with the wormy look at the beginning?
Did you guys get your ? braided first and then switch to locs or just go the baby locs from the start?
Help a brutha out! -

Bro, as soon as your hair is long enough for someone to grab(depends on how good they can do dreads) then you're ready...They don't have to be wormy...Your hair will develop its own personality. Just ask someone you know can do dreads if they can do yours. Pretty sure they can as long as they can grip it. You don't have to get them braided first. You can go for some twists which are easier for someone to do until your hair gets longer. Twists look good also and the longer your hair is either twisted or dreaded, the faster it will start to grow....
But everybody had to go through that mini-fro stage at one point..don't even trip on that... -

My biggest regrets on getting dreadlocks its not starting sooner. I was waiting for my hair to get longer but all that combing stifles the growth. Just get some twist, depending on your hair type, you will be loced in about 3 months -

Good lookin' out. If that's the case, I'm already falling behind. My hair's more than long enough for those baby/starter twists. -
Man my ? still arent locked. Well let me not say they arent locked. Some of they are, like many of them in the back but the ones right in the front look like they are coming apart. I haven't gone to get my locs retwisted since November so since then theres been new growth. And my head is STILL itching. I wash my hair every 2 weeks, I use the cantor oil on my scalp. The itching is so annoying bruh.

When did you first get twisted.
Mix a little tea tree oil in with your oil, its an antiseptic -

Back in October.
Had them retwisted twice once in November and once in December.
I actually got the idea about the Jamaican Cantor Oil from this thread a couple pages back.

Playboy there is no product that is going to shake that itch, you just have to buckle down and deal with it. But with that itch comes growth spurts trust.
That itch during the "ugly phase" is what binds us dreadheads together man, when i see a dread i already know what he went through LOL. Was a few days when i was starting when i was like MAN ? THIS...glad i stuck with it though.
