It all began with a desire.
I’m Brandi, my journey began with the desire to have my own full head of locs.
I have always gravitated towards the idea to have them myself but never felt brave enough or strong enough to adorn them. After hours and hours of online window shopping and admiring others with hair like tree roots, I decided to start my journey.
There was absolutely no one in my area who could loc my hair type how I wanted. So to the Internet I went. I watched hours and hours of content until I felt confident to place them in my own hair.
I started with two, then two more, to to half a head. The more I did the more I wanted.
I was quick to realize there was more to creating dreadlocks and this was just the beginning.
True dreadication was in order. Thankfully over months of research and dreadlocks rabbit holes I ventured, I found Authentic Dreads. The more I watched her content the more I became intrigued by technique. This is how I wanted my dreadlocks to start and a way I could help others start theirs.
I was obsessed, not only for myself but for helping other with the dilemma of no skilled loctitian in sight. Thus this personal story of my dreadlocks journey is not the end but just the beginning of Dread and Company. To be continued……..
