[QUOTE=Skrunnch;14083329]My friend got dreads in June and they look ****ing awesome now.[/QUOTE]

Ask your friend how she/he washed them when they were new.

You just wash it with water and dread soap.

Sweet. Thank you Eric.

The site I posted says that too!

I used dr. bronner shampoo when I had dreads, it's great, all natural and fair traded. I didn't use wax and my dreads looked good for like 5 days (maybe my friend and I did it wrong?) and then I took them out and cut my long hair. I'm not trying to discourage you, but back comb very tightly! And maybe try wax?

[QUOTE=Henrik;14087805]The site I posted says that too![/QUOTE]

I know, Baby. I just wanted to know if I needed to do anything special when washing new dreads. The site you gave me doesn't say much about washing them when they're new.

And to Rob, I will definatly use wax and comb back tightly. Thanks for le tips.

My hair's only about four inches long, so It'll be a few months before I try these out. That should give me enough time to decide if I truly want them or not.

[QUOTE=Sunshine;14022372]I think he gets custom fitted shirts or summat, 'cause the boy's 6 feet tall but skinny as all getout.

Never seen him in a baggy shirt, but his shirts always come down all the way. Confuses me, it does.

But thanks mans, thanks.[/QUOTE]

I'm 6'1" and wear smalls...

If you think you can pull it off go for it. I thought my friend was going to look bad and he did for the first few months but now it really does look great.

[QUOTE=Converge#12;14090010]I'm 6'1" and wear smalls...[/QUOTE]

So are guys shirts just extra long or something?

Seriously.

I don't understand at all.

'Cause as far as chick shirts go, there are some of the larger variety that I can wear like a minidress.

But it sounds like you guys don't have quite the same problem.

They make tall tees and stuff.....

I just mean like.

Standard t-shirts.

Like.

Band t-shirts and crap.

I dunno i wear smalls and mediums and they fit fine depending on the brand they print on I have to get mediums so the sleeves arent too short.

I'm about 5"10 ish, I wear large tees but mediums fit too just the sleeves don't go as far down my arms as I'd like.

Mmm.

Ah well.

I'm almost done with that backpatch...he's lookin' for a plain hoodie right now anyway, it'd be perfect for his back.

I'm going to give it a month or so if I do. Everytime I get a haircut or change the style, it looks aweful for a few weeks.

Youre just not used to seeing yourself that way is all.

I know, that's why I'll give it a month to get used to looking at myself in mirrior.

Any ideas what I should make my girlfriend for Valentines Day? I know it's a few weeks away but I want time to plan.

Really? It takes a month?

Every single one of my haircuts I've loved INSTANTLY.

As have everybody else I know.

'Cept the hawk. I loved it at first, most of the others did, but a lot of people were a little...O.o

Make her a shirt that says, "Reclaim Love, Subvert Valentines Day!" I like this sort of design: [url]http://www.o-i-l.net/20060211card1.gif[/url]

Ninja EDIT: They may be damn hippies, but they sure know how to throw a good street party.

Hmmm. V-day.

See. I'm not doing anything for my boyfriend for V-day.

Because that's his birthday.

Haaaah.

See, if that were me, I'd be expecting something more than a rose and a peck on the cheek.

I was thinking more along the lines of..."It really sucks because your birthday is the same day as a holiday, so everybody celebrates that holiday instead of your birthday, so I, being the awesome person I am, am going to focus soley on your birthday 'cause I know how much it sucks having it lumped in with something else."

My birthday is 6 days before Christmas.

While it's not the same day, people still feel the need to lump them together.

Except my mom. She won't put up the decorations until after my birthday.

My birthday is in July right after summer starts and I love that.

Hang up one of those tacky "Happy Xth Birthday" banners over your bed, and give him a [I]really[/I] long blow job (the kind where he has to tell you if he's coming so that you can stop and wait for a bit, and then start again to drag it out).

Hahahahahahahahaha, genious.

Except we havn't been together that long.

Will have to keep that in mind though =P

Oh you dirty dirty girl.

Okay anyway lets change the subject before you press charges.

OK. I can't think of anything else to give to him that'd be quite as funny or dirty, so I'll just hold out 'til April 1st when you tell him you're pregnant/tested positive for chlamydia/scared of semen.

Delete where necessary.

Also genious.
