My Dread Lock

I can’t get dreads ( as much as I wish I could ) so what is something I can do similar with my hair?

I have long, brown hair.

Try the twist. They are cute especially if layered.

Peace*

Yo. Ive been wanting to lock my hair for about a year now. it is nappy thick and coarse i am an african american woman. i want to use all natural products in my hair because i hear that things like beeswax are actually bad for dreadlocks. i would like to know if anyone knows how to make their own natural dreadlock products. . . or at least where i can get some for cheap because they cost too much im poor

I too wish to have my hair done next year on my 50th birthday.
You must know or see other females who have their hair in locks, you should speak to any and every female with locks to get a better understanding of how it can be maintained at varying costs. I know of 3 females within my family that i could ask about it on your behalf, and you could write to me if you wish me to convey my findings on to you.

I wish to have mine done july 3rd or as close as possible to my 50th so thanks to your question which has reminded me that i had better make a start as to what i am going to need to know to maintain my locks.

I’m doing an analysis on "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley, and I know all there basically is to know in 3 hours of researching on Buffalo Soldiers, but I still am having a hard time really understanding the link between the Buffalo Soldier and the Dreadlock Rasta. I mean, they both were descended slaves from Africa. they are both fighting to get rid of oppression in a way. But I still am unsure of what Bob was trying to say about both of them… anyone help?

In Jamaica the Dreadlock Rasta is treated poorly. The Dreadlock Rasta is fighting for Rastafarian values and survival, similar to how the Africans were fighting to keep their dignity. In other words, Dreadlock Rastas grew from Africans who are the Buffalo Soldier so therefore, when he says the words: "If you know your history then you would know where you coming from ,then you wouldn’t have to ask me who the heck do I think I am", Bob Marley is saying: "I’m angry that history is taught inaccurately."
He realizes that "he is just another descendant of an African."
Beautiful song, by the way !!!
