Journaling from Juliana Coles class

I am taking Juliana Coles online journaling class I love it and really getting a lot from the tasks. I thought I would share some of my pages.

No Wax

Please don't use wax to create your dreads!!! What a mistake that was. I found lots of people online that tried the same with poor results...Stay away from open flames!! it turns you into a candle.

So starting over again. I didn't take a picture I was too sad. It's kinda like putting your hair in a blender with wax. Not Good.

Enough said.

Dread

I have to get the WAX! it's the only way to control the frizzies. Adding the rubber bands helped. There is a way to split the dreads and use a crochet hook...no problem there I have the hooks! I think that's what we are going to try next.
Stay tuned!

Dreads

I have wanted dreads for along time. I finally decided to go for it. With my daughter's help... we are doing the twist style of dreads. I am using Jamaican Mango and lime locking gel. My hair is really coarse and thick and its finally paying off. We started with flat ironing the twisted hair. No rubber bands. I was shocked when I washed it and it did not come out! Yea! So now at about three weeks the ends have rubber bands on them, that took 3 hours. I got new shampoo for them ( now I understand why people talk about their dreads like they talk about there kids). I have heard people say" yea they are 3 years old now.. "referring to their dreads. Weird. We did not rubber band at the crown of my head. I don't prefer that look, but there is a drawback because you get more little wild hairs. We are experimenting.
The best part is I love it. I put up a pic that is closer than you probably wanted to get...just look at the hair, its pulled back a bit.
Thanks...gretch
