Cutting Long Dreads: Yea or Nay?

After thinking about it for a long time, my grown son Todd decided to cut his very long dreads. I was so nervous! Reason being, one time when he was little and asked for a hair cut he was very upset afterwards. That time, though, he went from dreads to no dreads so the cut…

Gray Dreadlocks Coming In!

Ignore my massive forehead, but check out the gray hair coming in! I’m so psyched as I think gray hair is a great marker of age; it typically shows that someone is into or going into the next stage of life. At 51 and still getting seen as much younger, having gray hair is exciting…

Fresh Re-twist September 2021: Todd

Here are long, mid-back length locks on a man. I re-twisted the locks of one of my grown sons, Todd. He had many locks that had grown together. He has a looser curl pattern than Scott’s so it took a bit longer to tease the dreads apart at the root but well worth the effort….
