About Dread Mama

I just realized I did not have an About page up! So here goes. I'm Trula Breckenridge and this is my dreadlocks and loose natural hair blog, associated with my book Dread Mama: Beautiful, Natural, Successful Locks. My current set of locks were started in 1998 and prior to that I had dreadlocks from 1992-1997. This blog includes lots of photos and how-to instructions for dreadlocks and other natural hair styles and will include excerpts from my book.

Prior to having dreadlocks I wore my natural hair in various styles from afros to cornrows to single braids. I am a big fan of natural afro-textured hair, not for political reasons but simply because it is beautiful hair. I strongly encourage those with this kind of hair (which comes in varying textures and colors) to embrace their natural hair. Your hair will grow in abundance once you free it from chemical and/or strong heat treatments.

I can be reached at trubreck at gmail dot com, or leave a comment here on the blog. All the photos are my own and include pics of me and my children with different hairstyles of natural hair. You can out all my Dread Mama photos in my Dread Mama flickr Gallery. The Dread Mama blog is hosted by MSPmedia.net. Thanks for coming by and if you have a site, please link me!
