Big Chop?
Have any of you started your locs with relaxers? Did you have a big chop? Have you always been natural?
I started mine with a relaxer in, and I’m wondering how others went about it! ~ Celestial-Fox

I've been M.I.A?
I was recently in the hospital and just got discharged yesterday, new posts coming sooon!And I’ve never realized how convenient having dreadlocks was as a hairstyle when you’re sick. Even if they’re still a tad messy, you can still rock them out!

blackbeatnik asked: Thanks! I was just wondering what products you recommend for moisturizing and such. I just got them started yesterday so I won't do anything to them today or probably tomorrow. But I was wondering because I know I can't do the same things I did when I had my fro right?

The great debate: How often do you wash your locs?
The other day I watched a video of someone with dreadlocks that had an immense amount of build up in his locs, it was actually quite disturbing lol(click here to watch). I think that some dreadheads carry the mentality that they can be completely free of maintenance with their hair as soon as they get dreadlocks.

Dreadlocks: 1 years old ?
Now that I have reached a year I have gained an entire new perspective on my locs. Near the beginning of my loc journey, I began on a path of being completely obsessive with my locs. To put it bluntly, the only regard that I held for my locs, at the time, was seeking some form of immediate perfection, as I entrenched onto my journey. This key sense of perfection lead me from one source to the...
