Dreading change!?

I'm considering changing my dreadlocking method. My hair seems to be too soft for the soft brushing to make it lock. It's twisting fine, but Twists aren't what I'm going for.

What's I'm doing:



Twist and Rip
You will need:
Dread Wax
Residue Free Shampoo
Rubberbands
I recommend the DreadHead Wax and Shampoo. 

1. Section your hair into sections that are 1 inch by 1 inch. You can use
    rubberbands to hold the sections while you section the rest of your hair.
2. When your washing your hair rub your head in a clockwise motion.
3. Once you get out of the shower and your hair is dry pull your hair apart in the
    sections where the rubberbands are.
4. After you have pulled apart the sections add a M&M's worth of wax to each
    dread and palm roll.


Twist and Pin

You will need:
Dread Wax
Residue Free Shampoo
Rubberbands
I recommend the DreadHead Wax and Shampoo. 

1. Wash your hair with a residue free shampoo and let it air dry.
2. Section your hair into sections that are 1 inch by 1 inch. You can use
    clips to hold the sections while you section the rest of your hair.
3. After you have sectioned off all of your hair, take one section down at a time
    and twist it, then put some wax on the twist and keep twisting until it the twist is
    twisting down into a ball on your head,

The more you twist the hair back and forth the faster the     dreads will form and lock up.

DREADLOCKS!

2/26
My first night! I've already used half the dread gel! I went with advice from people, and didn't get the wax, like the websites suggested.

Happy New Year, 2013! Reiki and Palm Reading now?!


So, it turns out I had the basic palm reading stuff I was looking for since I started looking for it. It pays to go through the saved bookmarks, doesn't it? It's much more of whole hand reading, than just palms - as I'm willing to learn all of it! I'm also going to become serious about taking up Reiki this year, but maybe more later, than sooner in the future. I'm also going to look into what rune reading is! I'm going to get back into refreshing my sign language, as I went so far as to put I know it on my resume! It's not that I don't know it, as much as I don't have anyone to sign to on the reg to keep it on my mind. Also, Spanish and Japanese. I'm going to get back into trying to do something with those.

I still haven't started my dreads, due to money issues. I'll have a big long fro if I don't do something it very soon! My hair is well enough past acceptable length to start them. I don't want my hair to random lock together, because I want my dreads an organized certain size. I'm still belly dancing, just not everyday. I think something seasonal is going on with me, right now. Also, I still feel like I'll be more into it when I get some belly dancing stuff. I'm going to look into Wiccan/ Pagan, UU, Buddhist items, as well.

I don't start off my New Year('s Day) with partying, and drinking (like I wanted), so I watched some anime! Neon Genesis Evangelion  to be exact. If I can't party and drink I may as well do heavy reflection on life. I didn't watch EoE, because I don't care for it. I finally read vol 2 of Megaman ZX, re-read NGE: AC (and it sucked just as much as it did the first time I read it - if not more, in retrospect , and I will soon re-start .Hack. I don't know why I'm still putting it off. Maybe there's only so much reflection I can take at once. I stay in celebrating the new year until the Chinese New Year celebration is over, so I have a lot of time to do everything that will make me happy, and bring in the new year like I want!

I want to take my GED test this month, but money issues might be getting in the way of that. Speaking of money, I'm still looking for work, but I know to enjoy my all this free time I have. I'm going to put some of it into a comic, that I'm looking to launch this month! If not this month, in the near future. The details on all that are in my LJ art blog.

That's it for now.

Dec Update! "Figure 8's... Dreadlocked?! Back to Tarot. March to Dallas!"


8's are fun, but for some reason I do them better starting from the back or "opposite" direction. It's not as bad on my ankles, which are turning out to tricky with me. Nothing some muscle rub isn't easing, but I know it's a bone problems, so I might wanna get that looked at. When I like about all the problems I'm having with my legs, and now I have a new problem, I might REALLY want to get on making some kind of appointment.

I no longer have a time frame for when my dreads will start. My hair is yet growing out, and I'm not going to cut it. I hope this month, but I need my rubberbands and other stuff. The job thing didn't work out as well as I wanted it to, so that's a set back. Unlike my usual route, I still have a few tricks out my sleeves, so all is far from lost (for the time being).

I'm back to reading tarot cards, but I do them a short period at a time. Alot of idiots send 3 or 4 or ALL THE CARD SETS reading requests at once. Getting more than 2 request from the same email address is not only annoying, but that's easy to blow up this very basic inbox request system. I only take card requests when I know I'm not going anywhere the next day to keep myself as low stress per week, as possible.

I decided to start going to Dallas in March a few weeks ago. I thought I would have to ago alone, but I forgot my mother has a class in that wants to go to IN DALLAS! Right now, there isn't much stopping me from going to Dallas with her. I would like to have a job by then so I can have my own money when I go, but if I don't I'm not afraid to walk around, instead being able to get on the bus. I don't plan on buying much, while I'm there, aside from the bus tickets I can afford. We'll see how that goes.

That's all for now!
