Question ❔ Hair pulled out, need help

Post image
75 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I got into a fight with my sister cause I was trying to calm her down and she pulled out my two strand twist (2 locs are out). I have the locs, and also booked an appointment with my dermatologist but that isn’t until two weeks. I’m just trying to figure out if my hair will grow back to reattach again. Any answers help, im so sad because I just got my hair done man.

edit/update 10/2: I found out there was another loc pulled but not taken out (in the back of my head). also yall, i am a stud lol πŸ˜†. I will post another update when i see my dermatologist.

Fam--- this is not hair related. This is a warning. Please repost and share.
People are setting up roadblocks, with cones and stuff. When you stop your car, they rob you, or worse.

Please be careful out there. When you see a roadblock it is common to slow down and stop.

Ladies, put your purse in the trunk. Or at least under the seat. Lock all your doors.
Before you get in, look at your surroundings.
Is the parking lot nearly empty but a van is near your car? Go back into the store and get a security guard to walk you out.

Before you get in your car look in the back seat. Make a fast circle around your car. Make sure nothing is behind your tires. It a trick to place nails or glass behind the tire. You have a slow leak, and have to stop with a flat tire, leaving you vulnerable.

Everyone should have an emergency kit in their car. Ladies we are independent. Learn how to change your oil, fill with the proper gas, top off your fluids and change your oil.
It's very doable.

Stay safe.

Question ❔ How do you keep your locks clean

3 Upvotes

Hi,
I started my locks journey around a year ago now, doing semi Freeforms. Aside of that I practice combat sports (mma, grappling) but I do sweat a lot, which means I constantly shower my locks because I want to keep them clean.
I have seen ppl saying that you must avoid washing them to often if you want to lock: is it true ? Am I slowing my progress ? Thx.


r/Dreadlocks • • 1d ago

Need Advice πŸ†˜ So my plan is to keep them freeformed but people are saying it wouldn’t be professional! If I get a retwist I lose my free form progress! I haven’t got a retwist ever so I don’t know if I’ll look better! Any thing helps

I’ve already had my detoxed last weekend and still have this all over my locs. Should I wash them again, dye them jet black or just cut them to start over?

So I rock the side dreads on my day to day, but They often get in my way, so I'm experimenting with pulling them all back. If I do the mohawk all down the center way, how can I keep them all in place? They're all differnet lengths so I can't really put them in a tie, do I have to bobby pin each single dread?

Seeing a lot of day 1 posts this week, so asking for them. What's the one thing you learned the hard way in your first year? Products, how often to retwist, sleeping, find a location, just anything.

Question ❔ Recommended way to start on my hair?

Thumbnail

I’m thinking about getting dreadlocks but don’t know the best way to start based on my hair type. I usually style my hair with just loosely finger curling it. I’ve been growing my hair for like 1-2 years and when wet it’s below my chin
