Yep, I have chosen Earth Day as my locks' birthday. I need to take one more before picture, to capture the moment for all time.
Then I'm going to wash my hair with dread shampoo and figure out how big I want 'em to come out. This can get complicated, but these tips on sectioning for dreadlocks say I should be aiming for bundles of hair about the diameter of a pencil, which will make slightly thicker locks. We will figure out how big the sections need to be. It ranges from about half an inches to two inches for each square, and my hair is thick so I expect that about an inch per square will be about right. I want my locks to be consistent in thickness because it will look nicer and they will mature at the same rate.
Then I will squirt a bit of locking accelerator on them before the backcombing begins.
Crap, I need to figure out what we should watch on TV while we're doing this!
My five-year mission: to explore strange new hairstyles, to seek out ways to keep locks neat and clean, to boldly go where no man has gone before with dreadlocks.
