Even though I've been reading these posts since I started my locks six months ago, for some reason I never did get around to joining until now. And since this is by far the best website to get some honest advice as far as the ins and out of dreadin' up, I couldn't think of a better place to go now that i need some serious help! This is the second time I've started locking up my hair, so since the first attempt failed miserably, (I went way overboard with all the wax, accelerators, and any other product I could get my hands on!), I decided that after seperating and backcombing, with the exception of hours of palmrolling, I'd just let my hair do it's own thing. Hoped I could gain some patience and keep my hair healthy at the same time!
Now I love my locks, frizzy halo and all, but unfortunately some of my extended family members don't feel the same way whatsoever. A bunch of them are flying in for my graduation in a few weeks, and the only thing my parents asked was for me to try and get my hair looking as presentable as possible. Mainly get rid of the crazy frizz that never seems to go anywhere, which I have no idea how to even begin to do. I'd prefer to not have to go out and buy anything premade, so if anyone knows of a good way to minimize the frizz somewhat naturally just for a couple hours or so i would seriously appreciate it! I don't want to to have finally gotten past the half-year mark and somehow mess everything up!
