I WON'T LIE. I LOVE THE LOOK OF DREADS BUT IM TOO OLD TO BE STARTING IT. PLUS MY HAIRLINE IS VEGETA STATUS. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY BREH.

shytttt :mjlol: I got a homeboy now that won't let his dreads go. My boy got a low even in the front and dreads in the back. I told him he look like Monk that don't believe in Buddha. He didn't talk to me for a while. :lolbron:

Recently cut mine after 24 years.
The journey is unique to each individual.
What I will say is,don't go crazy with the line ups and don't retwist more than once a month/month and a half.
Locs aren't actually meant to be super neat and trying to keep them that way will do more harm than good in the long run.

Im semi free forming, breh.
I’m almost at two month starter locs, my shyts are all puffy now and I’m loving it:wow:

Not really a fan of the retwist look, I like mines wild hanging on both sides like a palm tree
:wow:

I was walking the Williamsburg bridge the other day ago and my hair was blowing in front of my face, shyt had me feeling godly:wow:

I’m so used to having a Afro pointing upwards. Feeling and seeing your hair move around your face is a whole another game:banderas:


Btw, what should I use for moisturizing?
My loctian told me to put mineral oil in a spray bottle with water.

I would use jojoba with a couple drops of peppermint oil and a bit of tee tree oil mixed with water.
Pumpkin seed oil is also good. (Taken orally and applied directly to scalp.)

I haven't found any dedicated place that I can talk about my hair online. Reddit is a piece of crap in terms of commenting. White attitude and recycled jokes. Meh.
A lot of those people are white. I think they had to make a separate subreddit for black folks. Go on natural hair subreddit.
