Is hairspray good for dreads?

No. Dreadlocks are like little sponges and they absorb everything you put in them. Hairspray is bad for hair in general, but the problem with dreadlocks is that if you hairspray them you won't be able to get it out of the dreads properly after that. There will always be some residue somewhere inside the dread. That is why you want to use products that are as natural as possible on them.

also this is why dread wax makes no sense at all.

Actually, it doesn't. Rubbing alcohol can help your hair lock because it dries out the hair, but; used too much, it can lead to dread thinning and hair loss. Use it maybe once or twice a month to clean the scalp on starter locs, to keep from washing your hair and unraveling.

Say No To Cutting And Shaving Dreadlocks Off!!!
  • You can Take Down your Dreadlocks without cutting or shaving them off................or out.
  • You have cared for and become attached to your beautiful hair..Why end the relationship so coldheartedly!
  • UGLY DREADLOCKS ARE UNACCEPTABLE………

If you are tired of your dreadlocks, or your dreds are splitting into two, rough, un-even, lumpy/dumpy or even bunching together, try the dreadlock remover repair product.

You can unravel the dreds that are giving birth to a new dreadlock and the re-lock your hair again......it's a miracle.

In fact, it takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes to remove each loc; depending on the length and thickness of your locs.

Hair grooming, no matter how natural or gently the process can causes stress to your hair.

To safely unlock your hair, saturate each loc with the Take Down Removal Cream. The amount depends on the length and thickness of the loc.

Even if your locks are young, The cream softens the loc and minimizes breakage. Remember, your shredded hair is part of the loc. Therefore, when you unravel your loc, this hair will come out.

There is also oil, shampoo or dust locked into your hair. This build up will come out too.

However, the majority of your hair will remain. Give yourself a week or two to remove your locks, doing as many as possible daily.

I suggest working from the edges of the back, middle or the sides of your hair. That way, you can pull the unlocked hair back. The hair that shows will look like un-twisted new growth that is groomed and pulled away from your face.

Wearing locks and then taking them out is like giving your hair a break from all maintenance.

Maintain and Preserve your God given beauty…..

Let me know how your locks look now! Cheers

Do dreadlocks cause skull development problems with babies?

Probably not any type of skull developmental problems, but I would not recommend giving babies dreadlocks. Toddler may be a more appropriate age. Locks require a lot of work when they are new, and I can't imagine a baby putting up with you messing with their hair for that long... nor can I imagine a baby with enough hair to successfully dreadlock.



this is false dreads only require work ifd you chose a method that requires work

Why wear tams on dreadlocks?

There are a lot of reasons why tams are really awesome for people with dreadlocks.

1. They create friction between the material of the tam and the hair, which helps the locking process

2. They help relieve some of the weight for people with long dreadlocks

3. They are good to hide the dreadlocks if you're in a situation where they would not be socially accepted, or if they are at a stage where they don't look presentable to the general public.

4. They keep the dreadlocks out of your face.

5. wool creates static that helps knots form, the tam also causes compression while alowing movement, the 2 things dreads need to dread

Can marcel wax be used for maling dreadlocks?

Yes, marcel wax can be used for maintaining dreadlocks, but it's not the best option. While it helps in holding the locks together, it can lead to a buildup of product over time, making the hair feel heavy and potentially causing issues like mold or odor. Many dreadlock enthusiasts recommend using natural alternatives, such as aloe vera gel or specialized dreadlock waxes that are residue-free, to keep the hair healthy and manageable.

Where did dreadlocks originated from?

Although people around the planet have been wearing dreadlocks for thousands of years, it may be safe to say they originated in Africa. After all, African hair textures are the most dread-able. I've read some things stating that dreadlocks were required to be worn by African Holy Men, etc. However, I would imagine that neanderthals had some knotty locks long before they were required by such African religions.

where they originated from was nature
wherever man..or long haired animals existed dreads were the norm.
so the 1st mammals certainly wooly mammouths
