AJ’s Dreads!

| Shikote

AJ is a really cool, really unique guy! It’s very suiting that he would choose dreadlocks for a hairstyle. AJ grew his hair for three years because, after researching what it takes to have dreads, he knew he’d need the extra length. AJ and I first talked over a year ago (before Grateful Dreads!) about putting in dreads. When the time came, he found this webpage and came to see me again! Our consultation was fun! The dreads session was totally awesome! AJ’s dreads took about 7 hours. We decided to tuck in his ends right away which I don’t usually do. I’d done it before with extensions, and it was okay. So I sent him home with important instructions to palm roll, palm roll, and palm roll those new dreads!!

Almost done! Look at the difference in length! We decided to tuck in his ends right away which took most of his length.

Thanks so much AJ!  I really had a good time.  You are so knowledgable on so many cool things.  I hope everyone else loves your dreads as much as we do!
