You can dye your hair with spices and herbs that you find out in your garden or in your cupboard. I tried this natural dye because I was using these spices to dyes some fabrics. The rosemary rinse I have been doing all of these years have given my Freeform Dreadlocks red tint to them and the color get deeper each year. The paprika,tumeric and cinnamon gave a bit of vibrancy when looking at my dreads through the sun.
Natural hair dyes are the way for me. I spent countless years frying the crap out of my hair. After about 7yrs of not using chemical dyes my dreads are happier and healthier than they have ever been.
Thank you all for your support and loving words.

I refuse to deny my self of being my own creative individual thinking soul that cares more about mother nature and the fate of this planet. I realized it starts with the self and loving who you are for what you are. Growing and sharing the knowledge that I find may be helpful to others is important to me.
Hello Everyone,
Thank you stopping by to see what is going on within my Freeform Dreadlocks Journey. It has been a long and joyous journey. Full of lessons I have learned about society's view upon someone who is not uniform and conforming in their ways. I am the non conformist. I was born that way and I fully embrace it, I recently posted three videos on my youtube channel. One is a tutorial on how I wear my Freeform Dreadlocks in bantu knots before going into the shower so as not to get them wet.
The other one is about removing thick heavy substances from you dreads like wax,or other heavy oils.
The other is answering a viewer's question on if it is alright for him the freeform dread if he has his head shaved on the sides and back of his head.
I hope you are doing what you love and being your authentic selves in every moment of your day.
Warm Regards
Trina Sandress

Hello Everyone who come to my humble little blog. I have decided to dedicate some more time to this particular blog. I feel the need to share all of the beauty and freedom I feel from letting my locks do as they wish. My dreadlocks have grown and evolved within the almost 17yrs. that I have had them. And I would have to say that they keep getting healthier and healthier every year.
Here is a few photos of how they are now. At the root of my dreads I can feel a strength and wisdom like that of a tree. With each passing year I too become wiser like an ancient tree. I accept new knowledge into my mind,body and soul . Mother Nature definitely knows best.
