Natural Dreads 101
I want to make it known that I do not work in salon. I have no where to do a natural dread set unless I know you personally and you come to my house. I can give you tips and hints and full instructions on how to form and maintain your dreadlocks, but I cannot do them for anyone. Now that that’s out of the way. Here’s how to form your natural dreadlocks. Take a 1in section of your hair to start with. It doesn’t really matter if you start from the top or bottom but I recommend starting from the bottom at the nape of your neck and pulling down hair from a clip or tie for new rows.

Earth Day Birthday 16 was amazing! I’m so glad I got to see 311 finally. I never seem to be able to make it when they’re in Florida, but it was worth the wait. Their albums almost don’t even do them justice anymore. =P Of course iKandi dreads were rocked there as well! Many fliers were passed out (and thrown around at the end) so I’m excited to see if there’s a turn around on that. :) So if you got one or picked one up remember that it’s valid for 25% of ANY custom order, wigs, falls, or extensions. Doesn’t matter, all discounted with EDBD flier! I haven’t mentioned it before but I will now, we’re on a bunch of...
