longest dreadlock experience ever.

tiedye · #1 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

Fuck man. . I figured going to a hair salon to get my dreads done would be quicker than doing them myself, since I've got nobody to help me. Wrong! I showed up for my appointment at 2pm yesterday, and ended up there until midnight. Ten hours and half a head of dreads later the TWO girls who were doing them ask if I can come back this morning. I show up at 10am as asked, then they ask me to come back at noon. So here I am, with half a dread-head wrapped in a bandana waiting. Luckily these girls are cool shit, and they didn't charge me for more than the three hours quoted, otherwise I'd be pissed right off. And they bought a few bottles of some delicious wine after the shop closed too, so that made the process more entertaining.

They're looking deadly though! Red, orange and brown dreadies. . I love the dreads that are finished. I just can't wait until they're done.

dude.. you should have found a couple people that could do it for you. ive helped dread a couple of heads, and im no pro. it doesnt take that long and these girls are probly just taking their time cause they want to spend time with you.. giving you wine.. oh i think they want you..

two girls, after hours, drinking wine? sounds like the beginning of this movie i saw once.

tiedye · #4 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

hahahaha, if only. They're smokin! 5-10 years older than me though. but I got the impression wine is part of their daily diet. The only reason it took so long between 5 and 8 was because they had to jump back to my head inbetween other customers.

but yeah.. I really wish I had people around to help me. I just haven't met anyone around here yet, because of the weather.

lust, like love, knows now age. go and fuck them, otherwise you are not a man.

edit-unless "the man" tells you they're too young.

^^ hehe. Smart guy! :)

Post pics of the said dreads once they're done. The different colour idea makes 'em sound dope.

lol, don't look at me man. I'm out in shorts chilling on the beach all day, when everyone thinks it's freezing. There's four feet of snow where I come from right now!

anyways, the dreads are done and look fucking wild.. working on the pics right now, but my POS $20 webcam can't take a decent picture.

Don't people with dreads not wash their hair?

tiedye · #11 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

^^
not true. once or twice a week, and you can't use conditioner or anything. www.knottyboy.com has wicked bar shampoo for dreads.

_bRiTt · #12 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

did you get them done with the chemical and everything?

you can't do that at home kids!

well you could.. seeing as how many like to play around with chemicals..

when i did my dreads they just took a lot of time, but it was worth it..

.muffy. · #13 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

post pics or STFU

tiedye · #14 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

done and done. .. bare with my brother's shitty camera.. I swear it's made out of recycled lego or something. I can't wait for them to fall down! I'll get better pics eventually

.muffy. · #15 (**permalink**) Mar 03, 06

those look great!

yeah, this was EXCESSIVE.. 14 hours spread over two days.. the most vain of women don't spend that much time on their hair but what could I do? I was committed.

_bRiTt · #20 (**permalink**) Mar 04, 06

more people should get dreads

KenJi · #21 (**permalink**) Mar 05, 06

That is quite the mop of hair you have there.

Looks cool though
