Dreads at The Hair Garden

As a stylist I have had a appreciation for Dread locks for years! There are many reasons why I am so drawn to Dreads~ Locks can be an expression of deep religious or spiritual convictions, a manifestation of ethnic pride, a political statement, or be simply a fashion preference.

"I am very excited to work with Knotty Boy products and am excited to work with my clients to create there new look!"

Still Not Sure About Getting Dreads?

Hopefully this section will help to put to rest some the concerns you may have about ‘those smelly, dirty dreadlocks.'

Contrary to popular belief, dreadlocks ARE NOT stinky or smelly unless you are putting something weird in there or not taking care of them properly. One of our main objectives here at The Hair Garden is to attempt to dispel many of these myths, and this is why we dedicate so much time to telling you how to care for your dreads, that washing them regularly is very important, etc. Many people who choose to let their hair lock without the use of a product to speed this long process up will stop washing their hair because they feel that the natural oils are good for starting dreads. This is also a fallacy. Oil lubricates and conditions hair, making it more difficult for knots to form, and oily buildup will also begin to smell over time. Washing the hair and stripping these oils out will make locks form faster because knots are created more easily, in fact, in dry, clean, unconditioned hair!

Which brings us to the precise reason why we use the fine line of Knotty Boy dread lock products. You see, some of us (and our Moms!) can't stand unwashed hair, but would also like to achieve this most fabulous style known as dreadlocks. Because Knotty Boy Dread Wax is beeswax-based, and beeswax is non-water soluble, this means that you can have dreads done up with Knotty Boy and still wash your hair!!! It's true!

So Moms and other innocent bystanders, we hope that this will help ease your mind with the idea of your loved ones starting dreadlocks using Knotty Boy Dread Wax. It'll keep their hair clean and washable, and they'll finally have that hair style they've been bugging you about for the past year or so. Also, feel free to email us anytime with your concerns www.thehairgardensalon.com - we'd be happy to answer whatever questions you might have.

OK, now for the real dirt! First and foremost, we have some bad news and some good news for you, so read this stuff carefully...

The BAD news is, super-awesome locks do NOT just happen overnight. You must understand that, unlike a quick cut at your local salon, this new 'do takes a lot more patience than any other - sometimes even years of patience. You must be willing to deal with uncooperative hair for a little while, at least until they actually start growing into locks by themselves and especially if your hair is quite short. (Short locks tend to work their way out faster than long, tangled locks, so they take a lot more maintenance. However, it also can be good to start them when they're short as they tend to turn into stronger, tighter locks in the end.)

So that's the bad news. But have no fear! The GOOD news is that Knotty Boy deadlock products help speed up the whole process of "letting them come together" in a BIG way, binding those locks together so they don't come apart in the soft, early stages and lets them get a good head start. After about three weeks or so, you'll start to find that your new locks are getting tighter and harder... yep, they're turning into real locks, baby! You still have a long ways to go. Patience, patience. Keep working on them all the time. Even when you're just sitting at school, on the computer or reading a book it helps to keep palm-rolling them up or back combing them tighter when you have a minute. Just think your working your hair into wicked dreads! And that's the super awesome good news.

Fiber Options Naturals at The Hair Garden Salon

On Thursday June 4th, Fiber Options Naturals Victoria attended an open house at The Hair Garden Salon. The event was a part of the VBN's Member Hosted Open House series. It was an evening of networking in the intimate and gorgeous setting of The Hair Garden Salon. The Hair Garden is owned and operated by the spunky and passionate Jennifer Davies. The Salon is located in the RailYards, and is a home based business. It is an Eco-friendly, ammonia free zone, where the features of 20% off Mom Makeover Mondays, and "Baby Sitter on Board" are exceptionally great for mums looking to be pampered in a kid friendly zone! We had a great time with this fellow VBN and Green Collective member. We think it is a great service that Jennifer is offering, so we decided to feature it on our blog!

I am happy to have helped out with the hairstyles for Ozzie and Skyla! Everyone had an amazing time! I was eight months pregnant and I could feel my son kicking and moving to the beat of Warrior, each time they played!

POETRY In The RAW!

POETRY IN THE RAW: COVERED

For the second year in a row local poets are going raw. It's the annual fundraiser for the Victoria Slam Team: bigger, better, and just as naked! Come out and support as local poets bare their souls...and a whole lot more!

Come see some the most inspiring spoken word show of the year.

Poetry in the Raw is a fundraiser. It will help Peters, Thompson, Kristy, and one other poet raise cash to compete in a national poetry slam competition in Calgary, held in November as part of the Canadian Festival of the Spoken Word. (Victoria hosts the Canadian Festival of the Spoken Word in 2009, by the way. )

Evening free, a night out! "Slam poets" who recite at open-mic poetry performances at Solstice. The series, happening every second and fourth Thursday of the month, is called Tongues of Fire.

"I had such a great night! The Hair Garden Salon was a sponsor for the Poetry in the Raw and I would have to say I have never felt so moved, emotional, and free!
"First time for me attending an evening of Poetry, and I am hooked"

"When the poet is nude, she said, the body becomes an integral part of the performance."

"Amazing, gut wrenching, liberating, therapeutic and absolutely wonderful"

Missie Peters and Steven J. Thompson will be doffing their duds to read their poetry. How does it feel? "Unbelievably empowering," says Peters, whose day job is working as a government public relations officer.

"I LOVE WEDDING HAIR!"

Do I ever love wedding hair! So many people ask me why do you love wedding hair? Do you get many Bridzilla's? Isn't wedding hair the most stressful time for everyone?
My answer to all these questions is I love everything about wedding hair! If the bride is freaking out all I do is ask them how did you meet your fiancee? I just get their mind focused on their relationship. I also generally see them a week before, so I can do a consult with them and create the perfect wedding style for their special day! I think what I like most about wedding hair is that I create a masterpiece, a one and only style that is for you and you only, for your special day! I will travel to your home or hotel, I am a portable wedding stylist! See you on your wedding day!
