Shampooing Your Dreads
For natural dreads there are products you can buy that are specially made for shampooing your dreadlocks. Generally these are gentle, no detangling shampoos. Meaning don’t buy anything that has intense moisturizers in them because this will cause your dreads, real or not to unravel. For natural dreadlock maintenance, care and cleaning I recommend Knotty Boy or DreadHead. When washing your natural dreads you would basically repeat the same process as you would wash non-dreaded hair, except no running your fingers through it.

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...

Only about two more weeks till Earth Day Birthday! Me and Jeremy sat down with some cool pictures and made a flier for the website to pass around. Too bad there’s no booth renting options at EDBD16 =P I’d make sure to have a lot of pre-made things to sell..But there’s always future events with booth renting availability. Plus, I’ll be there for the music..the fliers and talking about iKandi is just a bonus. 311, (Hed)PE, Static X..all in the same day!? I’m ready. If you receive a flier at Earth Day Birthday 16 down here at the Tinker Field in Orlando, Florida, just give me proof that you got one, or met me personally, and I’ll knock...
