| Discipline: it's needed for dreadlocks as well as for drills |
There is no other similar period of time in my life when I paid this much attention to my head. Even when I was shaving it bald, I only attended to my duties every three or four days.
Each day there are tasks I must perform to keep my hair on course:
- Palmrolling to compress the locks
- Adjusting rubber bands
- Clockwise rubbing to form new knots
I also have to form dread balls out of hairs which are between the locks and shove them inside (something I'm still not very good at), and there's a whole process to getting the loose hairs on the dreads themselves pulled in and lookin' trim.
Anyone who sets out to make professional-looking dreadlocks is going to learn discipline, or they will never succeed.
