Self-esteem, the black woman and hair.

It wasn't always so easy to feel good in my own skin. When I was a little girl I felt very awkward and embarrassed about the way I looked. I grew up in an a predominantly white neighborhood. I went to predominantly white schools. To this day, I am often look around and find that I am the only black person. This alone is not a problem; the problem is the inferiority I felt. I felt inferior because my hair didn't move like the little white girls, my hair was oily and left a mess everywhere. Not to mention,  it was clear that we didn't have enough money. Looking around and seeing everyone on TV and in magazines happened to NOT be my color had a profound affect on my confidence. TV in America has to be the most toxic thing a young black child can consume. We are constantly portrayed as less than. Constantly struggling, poor, haggard, thugged out, ratcheted out and mammied. I absolutely hate TV.

It was only when I realized that I had been programmed to feel bad about the very person that I am that I woke up. I suddenly realized that I don't need to approximate the white look ever again. I also realized that my perms never looked authentically white anyway. The misery and expense of perms seemed silly in my awakened state.  My friends wholeheartedly agreed with me. It seemed the whole world had been waiting on me to wake up and see my own beauty. Feeling my "naps" for the first time since I was a kid was indescribable . I can't imagine longing for any hair but my own. It needs nothing. My hair, African hair, was made to beautiful all by itself. It literally needs nothing other than to be kept clean.

Dreadlocks do not need to be manicured, twisted, redone, tightened, interlocked or maintained. Our hair is so strong, so regal and so fantastic that people can't help but say something about it.

Yes, I want to sell books. But more than that; I want my people to wake up. I want little black girls to love themselves so that they will make better choices. Starting with the hair seems trite, I know. But to a black woman, it is everything. As a black woman, I'm proud of my "naps" but am I really as rare as the dodo bird. Pray not.

Much love,
Adette

How to Create Thick Dreadlocks

This is my hair breaking off and looking awful with straightners. I honestly thought my hair just didnt't grow. Little did I know that it was the chemicals that were keeping my hair unhealthy.     











One comment that I often get about my hair is that my dreadlocks are thick. My dreadlocks vary in size throughout my hair. They are thick toward the front and top of my head. This is the area that encounters very little friction. At the back and sides, where my head encounters more friction from me sleeping, my dreadlocks are thinner. In my book, I show the reader how to effortlessly get thick and beautiful dreadlocks.

ALL you have to do is NOTHING. I know it sounds crazy but that is the secret. Your hair will create the best look all by itself. You don't have to do anything to get this look.


Making dreadlocks that require no maintenance and look great has never been easier. Never go to the beauty shop again!

There is no magic to the "Lint Problem"

I am often asked by those with twisted dreadlocks about lint build-up. I don't have any magical solution but I do suggest having friendships. Friends and family are what it takes to get the lint out of your hair. It is your friends and family that will have to sit behind you and pick lint out of your hair. The least you can do is make sure that they have a pleasant experience. Make sure that your hair smells good and doesn't leave their fingers with a gross residue. When you are using my method as described in the book How to Grow Amazing Dreadlocks the Natural Way, you will wash your hair at least twice a week. This alone will help a lot. By not using moisturizers, conditioners, or oils your hair will also attract less lint.

When your hair gets longer you can do the bulk of it yourself because you can see more of your hair. I am often amazed at what I pull from my dreadlocks.
