Hey all,
So I was on MDC this evening and found out that we have a fellow dreadie Mama who is documenting her journey....and...
since I'm not able for some reason to add the blog to our links section (perhaps Mama C has to do that on this blog)...I thought I'd share it here before I forget it!
So, hurry on over and check out Mama Rylee at:

Her locks are so fun and she's adorable! Gotta love that...
and yes Rylee, we are geeks! (all of us:)

Hoodie Therapy for Dreadlocks
Been practicing the technique that I will loving label, Hoodie Therapy. The method of living in the same hoodie for a week - hood up! So that it one, comforts your cold soul and two, roughs up them dreadies and helps them lock up.
Very important to sleep in the hoodie at night too - remember - hood up!
This morning it was time to wash & roll. In the shower of Dreg, I found I had 2 choices for soaping up my head: the non lathering piece of crap soap bar from Wegmans or dollar general quality anti dandruff shampoo.
I went with the anti-D poo since my head has been a fucking flaky mess.... I know it was so not allnaturalme but the cheap soap was not pulling me into the land of cleanliness.
Trying to manifest the 7 dollars in fundage I need to buy my favorite soap - that Sandalwood bliss from Aubrey Organics!! YUM.... but this week, 7 smackeroos is above my means.
It's 8 am, I'm all rolled up & air drying just waiting for the wee ones to wake!

Recent Hair Looks 4 Mama C
Thanks for the wrap Mama B!!
How long does it take you to wash and dry YOUR hair?
So, I'm very interested to know what your dready process is like...what happens after you shampoo? Coming into this hair style (lifestyle?) it seemed like a very low/no maintenance do.....but now...I think I've been mislead! I belong to the dread thread on MDC (that's mothering.com) and sometimes it seems like the mamas are rolling every day....what? To roll every lock on my head daily would take so long.... So, please...all the mamas out there...tell me what your rolling schedule is like. How often do you roll? Do you do the whole rip apart and roll each one after washing? And after all that rolling, do you still get the loopy crazy locks? No matter how much attention I pay to them, it seems that the loops and flat locks are going to be part of my future. I'm enjoying the journey and am trying to remain patient and just go with it, focus on the artistry of it all, but....ya gotta wonder sometimes.
Time to update the blog pics!
I recently even gave Mama C. a strip of fabric so she could try out the wrap look...Mama C..any pictures?
