Every day. For hours. For more than a week. My right pointer finger still hurts.<br /><br />I'm happy with my new naps, but I would not recommend the process to anyone who has a life!<br />GGinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912743894908319757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534783.post-5400319691206978452010-06-18T20:26:22.458-05:002010-06-18T20:26:22.458-05:00Also locks tend to get dry easily therefore I used...Also locks tend to get dry easily therefore I used a lot of natural oils which had pleasnt smells, like vit E, shea and carrot oil.The only time I did not oil is when I was going to wash like a few days before.nakitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003609688992692081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534783.post-89682092695261874462010-06-18T20:20:24.677-05:002010-06-18T20:20:24.677-05:00Please let me know if ur locks have totally un rav...Please let me know if ur locks have totally un ravelled. I have midback length thick locks which has gotten too heavy. I want to cut it out but heard it can be loosed. I believe the ends are the only part that is needle locked as it got too thick, the rest is palm rolled.

A few years ago, for reasons that will remain untold, he had to cut them all of. I cried. So did he.

Right now, I like the versatility of my natural style, meaning I can wear twists, twist-outs and even flat-iron when the mood hits me. Not sure I would have that freedom if I locked.<br /><br />Oh, also, on my own blog I'm about to launch a series of posts about women who wear their hair natural. I'd love to add your "story" to the collection. If you're interested, email me and I'll forward you the questions.

He had small neat braids of shiny black hair all the way down to his butt (which was also nice). <br /><br />2. I want hair that cascades too. I paid nearly $300 to get it a few years back but it reverted in less than a month to it's usual solid mass.Ranuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14294046259777980456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534783.post-72415608731942440982009-06-04T11:43:48.238-05:002009-06-04T11:43:48.238-05:00Elayne, fixed asterisk thingy.

That white people with dreads look absolutely ridiculous and no matter whether they are or aren't, they always look like lazy, grubby, chain-pot-smokers.<br /><br />For some reason, the style seems to inspire we caucasians to stop doing laundry and brushing our teeth.Bethany (Satinswan)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534783.post-24199498214354444912009-06-04T10:50:21.299-05:002009-06-04T10:50:21.299-05:00I'm fascinated by this - in part because of th...I'm fascinated by this - in part because of the folkloric aspects of it; in part because my brother had locs for a few years before they shaved his head for the whole jail thing; in part because I am a peeling, picking, unraveling kind of person and I am perfectly content to sit for three hours and work out the knots and tangles in a ball of string or yarn so I can only imagine how much fun it would be to help unlock someone's hair; and in part because I wish you were closer so I could touch your hair and feel for myself. <br /><br />But for the love of Pete, what does the third asterisk/footnote refer to? I've even done a ctrl-F to find all the *s and I can only match up the first and last two. <br /><br />So how is your hair, now? Locked by the scalp but unraveling by the ends? I think we need pictures. I *know* I need pictures. <br /><br />?Ironically? the description of "hair that cascadades down their backs" is exactly why I am obsessed with the idea (but bear neither the funds nor the patience) to have my hair done in those microbraids. I always think that if it could be *contained* in some way, instead of just loose-flying individual hairs all over the place, then I could get the luxurious, artfully-tumbling, loose-but-not-messy look that I want. <br /><br />My word verification for this is "taters," and I'm trying to think of some way to link locs and taters.
