My Dread Lock

so, first off, i was excited to test out my new mic so my voice would be a lot clearer. turns out it helps if you plug it in. after making a 12 minute video i figured id just deal with it, and not bother makin a new one.
got new video capture software, hopefully the audio sync will be fine, but youtube usually messes it up

******
about the dreads: backcombed, waxed (once, never again) rubberbanded, palm rolled, eventually crocheted a bit. talkin about new growth, congos, and washing/drying rituals

This is my 3 month update of having dreadlocks. I have tried to answer some of the questions people keep asking me in the video.

If you have more questions feel free to make a comment, or do a search for “knotty locks forum” – they will help you out with whaever questions you have about dreadlocks.

Do not use WAX – it is a CON from the dread companies – DreadHeadHQ and Knottyboy. It is not needed – worse, it will ruin your hair, your hair needs to be loose to dread together, wax will restrict the movement, and it will stay in your dreads, and even cause mold and damage to them.

I had my dreads made (backcombed and crocheted (no wax)) by Alessio from Dreadknot:

He was in Newcastle UK, but might be in Portugal now…

Hope you like the video!
