Something part of my life for 28 years now are my dreadlocks. It was 2 weeks after I graduated from high school I got them done. Always loved the look of them and knew it was time. Went in making an appointment and it was the next day I had them done. Mom came for support and wanted to see the results. Walked in and they were ready for me not looking back going to work. I admit it was no 5 minute job doing it. 4 hours later with 54 done, pulled the cover off the mirror and seen the results. I loved them and said I am keeping them for life. Mom seen them and said they look good on me. Also saw something else, my confidence and self esteem come back. Easy to take care of too, wash them once a week maintaining them. Easy to style which takes 5 minutes to do. My wife loves them as well.I put them in a pony when at work

wow 28 years that is amazing @ackieLynnD glad you found part of your identity.

So you can wash them without taking them out? Otherwiser 4 hours every week would be a lot of time in the chair.

Not taking them out using a special shampoo. Takes time for them to mature. This is a video of an example how I take care of them
