Freeform dreadlocks are not as popular as the well planned out dreads started through palm rolling or two-strand twist. This method also known as Neglect or Nazarene Locks is mostly seen outside of the United States on African American men. However, you can run across a nice gentlemen or two in the U.S. at a natural hair show who rocks their freeform dreadlocks hard. Big Ups!

Cool braided hairstyles from very talented members of the Thirsty Roots Community. If you are an African American woman who is looking to switch up her style as you protect your hair, here are some hot styles to consider. French rolls, buns and Mohawks combined with braids is pretty wicked.

Here are some natural hair salons in Baltimore that you can research or look up to see if they will be your place to get your thirsty roots taken care of. Maryland is filled with thousands of beauticians but not many of them are skilled or educated enough to take on the task or maintenance of natural hair. We hope these salons can help in that area.
