Shaving Our Dreadlocks // We Got Lice

We shaved our dreadlocks after we found out we got lice in Hawaii!

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.
