✨Celebrating five years with these beauties

My dread journey so far:

❤️ 2017: Just had a haircut. Poker straight fine hair, lots of it - looks wavy because I had it in French plaits

🧡 Oct 2018: Locs created intentionally with a crochet hook. A brief tidy up 6 weeks later - nothing since

💛 2019: Very messy hair for nearly two years. Lots of crazy shrinkage and looping. Loved it!

💚 2020: Cut a fair bit off giving blunt ends. Longer to dry. Brushed out ends again and bleached for first time.

🩵 2021 - 2023: Bleached twice more. Always in sections - never going over previous bleach. Approx 4 times a year brushing ends out to keep length under control and let go of the original crochet installation. Gives great patchwork effect.

💜 Dec 2023: I have quite a few established baby dreads. Bleach is growing out and I have brushed out a lot of the original bleach. Have approx 1-2” of original crocheted loc left, should be gone by next Christmas 🫶

🤍 Rip care: No maintenance other than tearing apart when wet as they stick together like velcro.

🤍 Wash care: Simple natural shampoo bar with either coconut oil or tea tree / lavender washing once every 2 weeks in winter and weekly in summer. Lots of dips in rivers and the sea. Salt water tightens them beautifully. Deep cleaned them twice in the earlier days: Baking soda / ACV.

🤍 Brush care: Brushing out the ends keeps the weight down and loses a lot of accumulated lint and anything else it’s taken a fancy to 🤣 Loose ends = speedy drying. No longer worry about deep cleaning them.

✨ They do not need any help. They lengthen, twist, shorten, lengthen, twist, shorten all by themselves 🙏☁️🦄 Little dread seeds form after a few years, tiny knots that grow and lengthen 🫶

✨ Natural hair growth now comes through wavy 🌊🙏 Natural locs grow super fast once established and do not go crazy with loops and bumps.

✨ The natural dread is far softer and springier than the crocheted dread and I’m off to brush out some more 🫶

Merry Christmas lovelies 🎄
