One Week at Grateful Dreads!

Veronica had an appointment for her birthday! We did this beautiful updo with dreads and orchids! I love how her dreads mimic the branches of typical orchid plants!

Cheryl and Katya.
Cheryl grew up in Ann Arbor and is a U of M grad, so it was really nice to host part of her visit to town!

A Fun Day at Grateful Dreads

I really love this shop!  It’s a good time!

Teymour and Andros stopped by for a visit. Two of my favorite people!
I put out signs, and people were pouring in!
The calm before the storm.

I wasn’t able to get pics of everyone, but here are some really good ones!

Naveen is an herbal healer in town.  He came in for his dreadlocks!  We did them on the spot!  They took about 3 hours.

🙂
Look at this happy guy!

Sarah came in feeling like a wild animal, so we went with it and did some peacock ombré.

I love that deep blue!  I’ve been doing Sarah’s hair for a while now, and this was her first visit to Grateful Dreads!  We had a really nice time catching up.

Thank you to everyone who came in today!

Big Ones!

These dreads are huge!  They will matt down over time and become solid.  They’re so fluffly when they’re fresh!

Rodney’s headband is perfect for his dreads!

Look at that huge one on the bottom ^

Look at those huge dreads!

Rodney’s hair is going to take some daily maintenance to get his dreads where he wants them.  Keep them separated and twist the ends.  Wrapping them at night will help a lot.  I do not recommend palm-rolling these locks.  It would disorganize the rope pattern.
