I've been using dreads for 5 months now. I'm really enjoying it. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner anyway. My hair feels healthy and looks healthy too.
I have received a lot more compliments than before. Unfortunately I have to conclude that it is mainly brothers who do not really like it, oh well who cares luckily there are still enough who shower me with compliments regarding my locs besides that it is the sisters, Big up for the sisters who are very supportive.
I am now in Suriname and notice that this climate is excellent for my hair growth, structure and strength. In the morning nice under the shower with my head a little bit of coconut oil in the moist and there I go. Its just a wonderfull feeling, it feels nice and soft and supple. I hoped to see a lot more women with natural here (mainly parbo and Nickerie), unfortunately. It is striking that people here are very creative with the extensions and the weaving. The time was of course too short to be able to give an objective opinion. Just an observation. Back to my hair. As I said before, this tropical climate is very good for the hair. It grows and blooms just take a look. I had to lock it here again.
In the Netherlands I experience it differently. To be honest I expected that after a while I would feel bad and put on a wig again. I still feel free and happy and very happy with my choice. Despite my smooth hair growth and the joy of being in Suriname my stay is marked by my disease Lupus. I get tired and sick more quickly. Fortunately for me my resistance has no influence on my hair growth which was the case in the past. More about it next time.
Back in the Netherlands I clearly notice the difference my hair feels a bit rougher. I bought a small spray bottle filled with water and spray the hair at regular intervals. (it feels really nice). The hair feels nice and soft and supple just like in Suriname.
