Something a little out of the ordinary - TRAVELLING WITH DREADLOCKS - IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
For this trip I packed:
Dollylocks liquid shampoo: http://amzn.to/1KGwV6l
Dollylocks refresh spray: http://amzn.to/1SRljMS
Dollylocks dry shampoo (dark): http://amzn.to/1KHGbEo
Super Dread towel (large): http://goo.gl/gk6Sl2
Dread Stuff tam: http://goo.gl/5mZsfz
So this is a trip that I've wanted to take for a long time - It's the sort of trip that I'd say is "once in a lifetime"... but I really don't think that's going to be the case, as I'd head back out again tomorrow if I could - so I certainly think I'll be back!
This video covers the first part of my trip to Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago within the Arctic circle. The city of Longyearbyen is the northern most city (northern most settlement with a population above 1000) in the world. We set out for a short trip to camp just outside Longyearbyen.
In this video I cover what dreadlock-related things I packed to take with me on such a trip, the travelling experience - and some of the sights and scenes I took on once I arrived.
I'd like to add a special thanks to Kristin Burdal who composed and performed the accompanying music for this video:

Hi there, first of all I just wanted to say thanks for all the posts - I'm thinking of dreading my hair and you've been an invaluable research resource! I was wondering if starting dreads off with backcombing and crochet then switching to the neglect approach works? I favour neglect but have to look as presentable as possible for work, so I was hoping that might kick-start things and minimise the early messiness? Keep up the good work...
ReplyDeleteIf you leave a set of dreadlocks for long enough then the new growth will begin to lock on it's own via neglect - how well the different sections develop in relation to each other will depend on the degree to which the different parts were crocheted.
DeleteAlthough novelty can be amazing, do not attempt too unique a location the very first time you go out for an experience journey. If you are actually cut out for this type of taking a trip, Stick to the normal areas amongst daring locations so that you can discover out. Traveling Without a passport
