Take a look at the state of my hair. Don't get me wrong, they are doing fine and the roots are stronger than ever. However, the greys won't let up. They refuse to stay in a lock. I should be thankful bc some are sprouting in between locs and the top of my head is looking ok with all the growth. I'm now thinking of enlisting the help of a loctitian/consultant to sort things out, at least in the front section on my head. I'll take care of the back. The grey is mostly in the front. But before I go to someone, I want to try henna again. I saw this lady with hennaed sls at the recent SLs/loc hair event and it was absolutely be-yu-ti-ful.
My other idea is this: I would really like to go semi-freeform ie go 12 weeks between reTis. Once I get all the runaway hairs safely into their locs, wait 3 months or near enough before the next reTi. Is that even workable? Will the hairs just slip out again??

Why dont you leave these grey hairs alone....learn from my lesson learned the hard way? Grey has a mind of its own.....and beware that henna turns grey hair orange!!! Take a look at my old post and see what am talking about. Can you afford to go semi free form with your hair texture? Take heed from someone who has been there.
BE CAREFUL OOOOH. LOL!
Hahaha! I may heed the warning...after I've had a go at henna. I'm going to combine with indigo so it shouldn't go orange. As for semi freeform, I dont know if my hair will take it.
i also just luv grey hairs... the day I have them will be celebration day :-)
I have a few here and there. Mostly in the front. Every time I retwist ( I have traditional locks) the find their way out of the lock. I just let them be. I've read they are pretty stubborn gals and will do what they want to do when they do it.
I have had greys since I was eighteen, I am now forty and you would think I have gotten used to them no way, why, they do their own thing. especially since I have sisterlocked. i just let them be. Like your locks, looking good.
I have beautiful grey and black freeforming dreadlocs and I love them. Now that I've turn 65 I find that my grey doesn't have the soft looking appearance, however, I am so blessed. Since I have been loc everyone and everything around me has been positive, filled with awesome peace and harmony. Having grey hair or dreads is a sign of wisdom. Donna
