Our goal is to share the beauty of Afro-textured hair and to have a place where we can come together to get examples, advice, and information of black hair growth and hairstyles. Whether you have permed, pressed, or natural hair it's still black hair and it's beautiful.
In the red dreadlock picture, where do you find those golden clips in your hair? I’ve been looking everywhere and cannot find them.

I love this!! I’m still afraid to do mine though. My hair hasn’t fully locked yet and is still in the baby stage. Do you think I should do it before it locks or wait til it does???
Hey Char,
I highly suggest waiting until you’re at 11 months or more. Your baby locs will be going through all sorts of stages. I messed with my hair before they were mature and had a lot of preventable issues. My hair carries both definite Z and S patterns, and when I started coloring and bleaching it, the Z locked quicker than the s. The result is tight locs with a whole bunch of loops. I just remind myself of that really ugly stage I went through for nine months and whatever came out thereafter is beautiful. My hair is my kid after all that work. P.S., when you bleach for this red, (Mine is a lot brighter), you’re going to have to do mega moisturizing and that doesn’t do well with baby locs. Hope this helped.
