Headaches Caused By Heavy Long DreadLocks

I met this lovely lady, Mary, on my trip to Trinidad in June of this year and my first question to her was if the dye in her hair was not causing her hair to break and she responded negatively.  Another piece of information that she provided me with, is that her hair was much longer and she had to cut it because it had gotten too heavy!

I was very surprised as I never thought of long locks being heavy.  Apparently the weight was causing her headaches etc. In addition when she washed her hair it was even heavier!!!  I can relate to this because on the few occasions I installed braids in my hair and when I washed it, I felt the weight of the hair on my head.  Very interesting piece of information.  Dreadlocks Stocking Cap

What a beautiful head of locks. I love the color. I've seen some men cut their locks because they said it was too heavy and pulling their hairline back.

It is really said that each day you learn something new. In addition to the long locks being heavy, it causes the hairline to recede. Wow!!! The few men I have seen cut off all of their locks instead of cutting it short. Having your hair in the locks hairstyle requires alot of maintenance!
