I had dread locks for 3 years now and i agreed with everything you said here, but watching your locks twice a week? Thats a no no for me because i wont be able to sleep at night if i dont wash my locks at least twice a day, that makes it clean and neat, but washing your locks twice a week is the main reason it smells and i know what am saying! Dreadlock is bae and i advice every guy out there to keep one because our fore fathers keep dread locks
I've been keeping afro for over a decade and i hardly pour water on my hair except deliberately wanting to wash it.
Too much water on the hair will make hair break more

Stop spewing sh**

With proper maintenance, locks make a black man look like a black man!!! undecided

Y'all cut off your hair and end up looking hideous... Keep an afro atleast...

Black men are ugly without hair... Honestly...

Don't assume all women have poor taste...

'show me your friends..."

Here we go again talking about hairstyles or features and displaying only attractive people with it. Why isn’t Jay Z’s picture there? His hair falls under dreads.

Well you just said the truth..

Black men are ugly without hair... Honestly...
I have full afro hair and ladies find it attractive on me well shaped, neat and well combed.. but to be sincere i don't like dreadlocks that are too thick, brown and discolored.

Can you upload a picture? You can blur your face... I'm looking for hair ideas.
Re: Why You Should Not Keep Dreadlocks If You're Not Ready: The Dos And Don'ts. by princewarri1985: 11:58pm On Feb 02, 2022
Are you for real? How do you people do this thing? Because my hair stylist also told me samething last year and i thought he was bluffing! Because if i take my bath and i did not pour water and rub soap on my dread or shampoo on my dread, it will make me restless all through the day and i will be feeling like i never had my bath atall and i wont be able to sleep at night, and hell no! I aint never gonna cut this dread of mine, it will keep growing untill reaches my waist and then my feet, and i dont care about how many fuc*king decades it gonna take. we learn everyday. Thanks for this piece of information, and am going to work towards it! And i also want to thank the OP that made the original thread too.

Besides dreadlocks, can someone please recommend a cream or way for a man to style his hair a bit.
This sun is not good for the black man hair, share some tips and guild lines here.
Fast way to get sporting waves or curls if necessary.

I'll really appreciate, thank you.

Dreadlocks in Nigeria as a commoner is like putting a neon sign on your head that reads “Extort me please!”

3idiots:


Boss, I need your advice pls, I already messed up. I got to used keeping my hair very black which means I dyed it often, now eh! My God! If I just shove my hand through my hair, everywhere will be full of hairs. Infact, my once fine hair is messed up, it was my barber that started the dye stuff, I never like dye bfor. Is there anything I can do?? Pls.
Re: Why You Should Not Keep Dreadlocks If You're Not Ready: The Dos And Don'ts. by JoesmartNwaSoiL(m): 1:03am On Feb 03, 2022
A good loctician should get your hair locked up in the first treat! You should be washing your hair! It helps with the natural knotting process.
Ayt27:


I am currently growing out my locs recently had it locked, I don't look irresponsible, there's that awkward stage in the beginning where your hair doesn't look like it knows what it's doing but in time it levels up.

My stylist told me no water on the hair at all, so I try not to allow water touch it. I use the Hollywood Beeswax cream and it does a good job, I think.

It's the full locs and to have them relocked again will take a full day, the first time was painful enough.

I'm excited though, it looks good on me, but it's going to take a long time too.

I mean the colored ones. Black dye should also be applied moderately.
Arry110:
Op pls I don’t get
You said dye should be in the hair for 2 months
Does it mean you should cut your dyed hair after 2 months

You've probably shaved off your glory from your head... Right?

When would black men realise that without hair, they look ugly...

I prefer my cornrows (all back) anyday, anytime sweetie.

Have you seen a whiteman with dreadlock?

Try dey appreciate your race, the texture of a white man's hair can't support dreadlocks cuz it's too tender.

use normal hair cream and brush your hair regularly, immediately after bathing and before u leave the house.
.
When u come back home, bath again, use hair cream then brush your hair. Don't use that plastic string brush meant for jeans ohh..
Get that wooden shoe brush that shoe shiners use to brush shoes. That's what is perfect, you will see clean cut spotting waves in 2 weeks or less
.
.
Only thing left is continuity for maintenance
