  • We shaved our dreadlocks after we found out we got lice in Hawaii!
    www.getwiredan...
    Prevent catching lice and other problems! We didn't have any of our dread products with us! :(
    Bringing you this video 1 year after shaving our dreadlocks in September of 2017. We loved having dreadlocks and all that it taught us and brought us, and were sad to lose them this way. We found it to be so ironic!
    Sometimes we think we may do them again in the future since they fit into our lifestyles so well. For now, we are enjoying the aftermath of the dread journey, and all that has taught us, too.
    You do NOT need to shave, cut, or brush out your dreadlocks if you get lice. You can treat it with lice shampoo several times (to kill the lice and eggs that can't be brushed out) and keep your dreads (as well as dead lice bodies inside) or, you can brush them out and proceed to treat the normal way with shampoo and combing out of eggs.
    We just had the lice for so long (3 months) that there were sooo many inside our dreadlocks. We had begun to feel disconnected to them throughout the unknown infestation, as well as feeling over-identified with them.
    It ended up being a huge blessing in the end. It helped us let go of a chapter of our lives and step into a new one.

    Just a tip for those struggling with lice, or for a quick tip for future reference.
    I had lice a few years back, I tried every medicine on the shelf, never worked!
    I found that the best thing to use is Vinegar!
    It stinks, and it took my breath away, but it killed all the lice (My sister gave me her lice, which stewed in her hair for weeks, or a month) within the first 2-3 washes.
    I leaned over the sink and had my mom pour it in my hair, and as she did I scrubbed through my hair. After that. A thick gel, hair gel whatever you have, leave it in your hair and it will suffocate remaining louse.
    (The hairdresser I asked said if you don't have Gel, use mayo. That stuff stinks, too though!)
    Thank me later!

      Oil (I would use coconut oil) suffocates lice while vinegar dissolves the “glue” that keeps the eggs attached to the hair. Also a preventative measure is to put some tea tree oil into your shampoo and conditioner because lice hate these kinds of essential oils.

    For anyone in the same situation - a hairdryer kills lice eggs, but doesn’t kill the adults.
    So just use a hairdryer daily for a couple of weeks - it doesn’t even have to be on wet hair. Eventually the adults will die out and there will be no new hatchlings.
    It’s a very simple method!

      Nach dem rasieren brauchen die Haare aber noch eine weitere Behandlung mit einem Anti- Läuse Mittel und das auskämmen der Nissen. Dies muss ein weiteres Mal wiederholt werden 14-19 Tage nach der Erstbehandlung.
      Da dieses auskämmen jedoch mit locs nicht möglich ist, ist es bei einem schweren Befall die beste Wahl das Haar zu rasieren.

    I didn't have lice, but last year I started cutting my hair into a very short pixie, and it was nearly shaved.. I am not sure why, just needed a change, the desire to "start over" and see what was really there after years of dyeing it. I relate to how you say this strips the ego.. it sure does. It has been humbling, and cleansing, and a huge letting go of a past phase of "me". It has been growing back, and new beginnings come with it. Highly symbolic.

      Actually it's pretty uncommon to find that people are infected with lice via clothing items like hats and scarves as well as combs and other personal grooming tools, you're much more likely to be infected from direct contact to another humans hair. Head lice have feet adaptad to hold onto human hair specifically so they have trouble with holding onto other surfaces like hats and combs, nits (eggs) die withing a week after being separated from their human host and nymphs (live babies) die within a few hours of birth not fed. While it is a risk it's really not as big of one as people think it is.

    I loved my dreadlocks with all of my heart but after they were gone, I felt a new freedom. A freedom that wasn't there before I got dreads. It's a feeling that is definitely hard to explain but it felt great and sad all at the same time. I grew my hair out for 9 years without one snip and then all at once, it was gone. I can relate to many of the feelings you displayed during this video and I will always miss my dreads but I'm better off without them. Now that my family and I are moving into a 40 foot school bus conversion to document us traveling the world I almost wish I had my dreads which to me represented freedom to do whatever I wanted when I got them.. but nah, I like dreadless me.

    Oh honey. That made me cry too. My son and I both have dreads and we got lice from my friend’s kids. Thankfully we were able to get rid of it but it took us both a week and 2 treatments.

    This video was soon emotional for me. My very first set got lice the week after my mom died and I had to shave my hair off aswell.. right after losing someone. So it's like I lost my identity and my person. I'm now on my 3rd set and I survived. ❤

    • @amberdean374
      @amberdean374 Před 6 lety +4

      You don’t have to shave your hair if you get lice with dreads. There’s tons of ways to treat your hair. Most people just assume you can’t or they just want to shave it to get rid of it and be done. I personally would shave mine too so I get it. My daughter caught it over the summer this year and luckily I didn’t catch it (this time anyways)

    How brave of you to do this. I felt for u so much when u cried, but the way ur man reassured you by ''your looking so cool and beautiful'' and how he loves you is heartwarming. Your hair does not define your beauty, You look wonderful either way..

      Its a shame that you can't maintain your dreads yourself,they sound fabulous,can you not rethink and find a way to keep them,must of taken ages to get them down to your bum as you put it?

You are such a strong woman to not only endure that challenge, but to find the blessing through it and create a new version of yourself. Your hair doesn't define you. You are beautiful inside and out! ❤❤❤

  • @chadachiles4987

    I was just wondering if this was cultural appropriation or do you have an ethnical background? If it was cultural appropriation then let me explain why dreads are not just a trendy hairstyle to wear. 1. There is a difference between the Vikings wearing matted locks v.s dreads they are not the same thing. 2. In the United States it is still illegal in many states for black people to wear this natural and protective hairstyle including many other styles. This is includes schools, workplace and society. I know the argument will arise, well black people straighten their hair. This is true but only because of the exact laws that prohibit them from wearing a natural hairstyle, this is true because of the discrimination we still face. We deserve the same opportunities as the rest and do what we have to do until things change. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean this isn’t happening. If you think this isn’t happening people educate yourself CZcams is your best friend. With that being said I hope you are actively advocating to change these laws. I do not mean just posting things on social media or signing random petitions.

    This is so beautiful and so empowering. I cried with you when you were cutting your dreads. I've never had dreads myself but as a woman I know how you must of felt in that moment cutting all of your hair. One of the many ways that we as women define ourselves as being a woman is by our hair and to lose that is completely devastating. In all honesty though, you look absolutely stunning 💕

    So many of these comments on here have been in my head for DAYS. Let me say, I watched this video and cried with you. I then read the comments and was just floored! So many people LOVE YOU! The hateful comments though are the ones that stuck with me. I can’t understand why it matters where dreads “originated” from. Although I’ve been doing SO much research on it, it sounds like shampoo and grooming wasn’t easy back in the day and MANY cultures wore dreads out of idk dumb luck. I don’t know why we have to be so hateful about beauty and being human in general. In the end that’s what’s so important we are HUMAN. I am in awe of you! I found you in the beginning of this new journey I am on and you have helped so much. I am also thinking about adding some dreads to my hair! I’ve been saying I want to years. Thank you Glow for being amazing.

    no need to shave! Just drench your head in listerine, wrap with platic wrap for an hour wash and condition. repeat every five days a few weeks boom all gone:) I have five kids so i have to deal with this from time to time. Super easy and effective cheap way to immediately get rid of them. Put pillows and blankets thru the dryer at least 30 minutes every day. Store bought lice killer is expensive and most times doesn’t work. I keep a jar of coconut oil with essential oils like teatree, clove, citronella, and run it thru my hair and kids hair in morning and night as preventative

    I actually had shoulder length hair and caught lice over the summer maybe two years ago! I did try the chemicals and the comb but I was tired of it. I was ready for a new hairstyle so I got my buzzer and shaved EVERYTHING OFF. it was an incredible experience and still to this day the thought of live makes me itch for weeks. A girl in my class (mind you it’s senior year) has lice and I thought it was just a gnat. I pulled it out and nope! It was lice! My hair has grown out to a pretty nice length and it’s finally the natural color and texture it should be. I used to bleach and dye all the time so it was a great change and I recommend to any female or male to maybe try it (lice or no lice). :)))))

    It has been nearly a year since I cut mine and it was only recently that I stopped longing for them in the inner recesses of my mind. I wasn't ready to let go of mine when I did it. Now I don't regret it and am happy with my curls, but damn I was in a struggle months and months after.

    For dreadlocks all you have to do is get a jug apple cider vintage soak your dreadlocks then wrap them tight in trash bag or plastic bag sit 45mins rinse and repeat 1 time then trash all clothing sleeping items. Thr vinegar burns lice eggs and kills adult lips. I used to have dreads down to my waist and it killed them instantly

    When I was little I got lice a few times in school. My mam would wash my hair with loads of conditioner and comb it with a louse comb, then coat my hair in mayonnaise which we'd cover with a shower cap and leave for 10 minutes or more, it stinks but it worked better than some specially made products for getting rid of lice we had tried before. Comb again with the louse comb and wash out. We'd do this a two or three days in a row to be thorough. All my bedding would be washed at a high temperature, my t-shirts and jumpers too.
    My head feels so itchy now from the memory.
