A person with long, dark locs adorned with gold beads and white charms stands on a balcony, looking out at a street scene. The text "Locs vs. Dreads Why the divide?" is overlaid, reflecting the article's discussion on terminology.

Combing out my dreads
So the fun has begun and I’m already impressed, nervous, anxious, etc. On 6/3/24 I asked a staff to could my dreads. I have 107 to take down. The goal is to do 7 today. Then 10 everyday afterwards. That would put me at a completion date of 6/14/24. It’s a lot of work so I doubt

I did this yesterday. Client hadn’t had a retwist in a year. I should have did like a before and after. He hadn’t had a cut either in a year. I washed and retwisted his entire head in 1 solid hour. I also trimmed ans thinned his perimeter. No time to give him a line up. #dreads #unfiltered #fyp
