I’ll be working on the site over the holidays so stay tuned for a fresh new look!
I unlocked the front of my hair again, I was missing loose hair. Plus I need some hair to cover my huge forehead LOL! This is me modeling one of my headbands I make for Earthy Style.
Got my locks up in a loose hair bun at the back of my head. Check out the front of my hair, locked! I’m thinking about taking the locks out though, I miss loose hair
In this hot summer time weather my hair, which is over 3.5 feet long, can get quite hot. Throwing it up in a bun makes my hair feel light and cool!
The front of my hair is finally locking up! I have kept this part of my hair loose for years, then decided to lock it. It took some months to start locking up…now I[m thinking about taking the locks out LOL.
A loose dread updo, much looser than my dreadlock bun but still like to wear my hair up for summer!
Been going through some things. Hair still looks good though! LOL. Here I have it up in two ponytails with a headband wrapped around the front.

I made some plastic beads for my dreads out of blue plastic grocery bags. I’m going to work on the process, really refine my technique then make a bunch to sell. I really like these!
hello all, it’s been a while! Dread Mama’s been going through some things. But I’m back and feeling better, and am committed to blogging often and adding to the site. I did twist up the front of my hair to lock and it’s coming along nicely. I will have pics soon…I lost my camera! soon [...]
My hair is so long I can sit on it so as you can imagine it can get cumbersome. This is how I usually wear it; tossed up in a bun My twists are coming along nicely. I think the hair here should be locked oh, February 2010-ish.
So I twisted up the front of my hair, now using head wraps I made to help stop myself from picking at my twists! LOL
Yah, I decided to lock up the front of my hair. I’ve kept it loose and short for years because I liked to change up my hairstyle. This is after I washed my hair and picked out the front and did it up in little twists. VERY SIMPLE & EASY TO DO, if you can [...]
Washed my hair and picked out the front part, which for now is unlocked. I decided to lock it up. This is before I twisted it.
Well as you know if you’ve visited my blog or seen my pics before, the front of my hair is unlocked. I left this hair loose because I like to have unlocked hair to play with, braid, twist, just do various styles with. Lately though, like most of this year, I haven’t done a thing [...]

S-bop’s fresh-washed dreadlocks. I needed to separate a few at the roots. After a summer of sun his locks have a tint of red.
One of my sons with his newly twisted hair. For the past couple of years he has had a dreadlock mohawk. Instead of shaving the sides again this year, he had me cut off the mohawk to the new growth, then trim his hair all over so that it would be the same length. Then [...]
My classic bun. Buns are something you struggle with at first with dreadlocks but as your hair gets longer it gets much easier to put up in a bun because you can just tie it up in a big knot.
It’s been a minute since I last washed my hair, I’m not even going to say how long because it’s embarrassing LOL! I have no excuse except it takes so very long to dry (my locks are over 3 feet long) blah blah blah. Anyway I’m back on schedule; henceforth washing my hair at least [...]
Lately I’ve been real lazy about washing my hair. There’s just so much of it, and it takes a long time to dry. No more excuses! I hope that by publicly stating how little I have been washing my locks will shame motivate me into getting back to regularly washing it. Ok, here goes…Since February [...]
I’m thinking of locking the front of my hair…I keep this hair loose because I like to do different styles with it, but lately I’ve just been putting it into a long twist like this. What do you think?
I wrapped some of my locks with different colored thread and/or small strips of cloth. Some of my locks were thinning as they got longer or got torn getting caught in doors or what have you. So I decided to fix them with ‘band-aids’ of thread and cloth. My hair is quite healthy and I [...]
