Lots of Dreads and Haircuts!

I’ve been very busy with dreads and locks, and I’ve seen a lot of new haircut clients!  The common thread of all clients of Grateful Dreads is they leave happy and loving their hair.

I recently worked on some curly hair, and the cut was so beautiful I just couldn’t believe my eyes!  She came in believing her hair wasn’t able to be worn curly, and that it had to be straightened to look nice.  She had been through a couple hair scares, and was just getting out of the mullet danger zone.

These past two weeks, I’ve worked on at least three women with beautiful curls who held the same belief, that their hair must be straightened to look nice.  I took my time with their hair, nourished it, and I was very careful while cutting.  These women left the salon with their hair natural and loving it!  The fact of straightened, curly hair is that it has to recover from the effects of being flattened over time.  The full potential of each curl will come out over time, but in the beginning of going curly from straightened, the curls will be somewhat relaxed.  My hope is that these women continue to love their curly cuts and begin enjoying all the free time they have from not having to overstyle their hair to feel beautiful.

I have no pictures of these curly cuts.  Maybe next time!  For now, these are the cool pics I’ve taken recently:

I love Camille! Her dreads are three years old, and she needed a little maintenance. Those are two wool dreads that she made and put in herself.

Beautiful blonde curls. This is an example of freshly naturally curly hair. Notice how the curls are a little relaxed from being flat ironed.

BEFORE. Very blunt and heavy cut with disconnected and overtexturized layers.

AFTER. A softer look for very straight hair.

Cool haircut, not too short, and left full. Look at this amazing coat from Spain! Her purse is by the same designer.

This was her first haircut in the US! She is from Thailand, and all of her clothes from there were totally cool!
