my first dreads- list of all the shit i put in them

I think most dreadheads have had to try more than one time to finally get dreaded...In my case, it took 3 times to get it right
my second attempt on dreads taught me a lot about what shouldn´t be done, and espacially about what shouldn´t be put in them XD

here´s the freak list of what I put in my former dreads :

Warning ! Do not do the following !

-egg white ( i thought the white part of the egg is kinda sticky, so it would make the dreads..)

-coca cola

-sugar and water

-pure lemon juice

-beer (vitamin B , good for the hair ! yeah right)

-toothpaste (to make the tops hold...:s)

-ashes and rain water ( technique used by the shamans in amazonia, when mixing ashes and water, you get this kinda muddy thing, you put it on each dread, and you then let it dry for 24 hours ! but you have to stand still because you gain at least 10kg when doing that, one sudden movement and your head flies away... conclusion: it did make the dreads more compact but i had remains from the ashes falling from my dreads in months afterwards :s )

-wallpapper glue (technique used by some punks with their dreads..it did make them more compact but they were disgustingly sticky and the effect didn´t last..)


lucky i did not try the other trends....
- honey (a friend of mine did that, that´s real bad...worse than the ashes and water stuff..)

-petrolium wax ( can stay in your dreads for years, rounding up dirt it gets all grey and blue..)

-peanutbutter ???



anyway, theré´s a lot of stupid stuff you could put in your dreads to make them better....but just don´t. Get yourself a good dreadfix instead, it´s way more effective.

And to finish the story, i ended upp taking out my dreads ( in preparation to my nowadays dreads) and after 2 bottles of balsam, a comb, a pair of sicsors, a knife, and a long week of swet, blood and tears, I finaly got them out. I think you wouldn´t be surprized if I tell you that the water in the bathtub was grey.

peace

I was on this birthday party (friend turned 18, whoopie..) a few weeks after i got my dreads and they had just begun tightening up. That night I carelessly drank shot after shot of 50% estonian until i blacked out.. Next morning I woke up in my bed head first in a red bucket ´o`puke with half of my neck and left side of my face covered in crusty puke .. M! MM! That shit didn't stop smelling for a while since I just picked it out with my fingers since I didn't wanna ruin the dreading process by showering xD

hmmm the sweet smell of vomit following you around for weeks...
been there, done that.

best method is to avoid puking on your dreads

Is kinda hard when making your best Jimi Hendrix imitation xD
