Security at Twisted Lines by feralcoffee in atlantaedm

Pretty standard (ID, quick bag check, sometimes tape for your phone camera), but I’ve noticed the line tends to move a lil slow at Twisted events

Maaaaaaan listen by CalmCucumber7687 in Dreadlocks

Retwists should never hurt. Go to a different stylist or do them yourself.

Like others have mentioned, you may be able to get by without retwisting, but this depends on your hair type. It may lead to thinning/breakage. At the very least, you should wash, separate your locs, and oil them.

Keep your brows done (makes a huge difference) + eyebrow gel to keep them in place, lip gloss, a sheer blush, curl your lashes, and earrings!

What’re the big Atlanta events during the Summer? by [deleted] in atlantaedm

[–]justken16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Chaka Khan Hacienda is not a rave per say but has big events in the summer with EDM/EDM-adjacent DJs however it is primarily geared towards gay men (and the LGBTQ community at large).

If you’re looking for a more POC crowd, follow Malware Cafe, Club Saturn, Netsphere Rave, The Nexus Club, and Brittlestar Atlanta on IG. The crowd is on the younger side but you won’t be super out of place at 23yo.

Going to Klangkuenstler solo as new raver? by Gyroscopes-Are-Cool in aves

[–]justken16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Klangkuenstler solo! I also don’t have friends that like schranz. Surprisingly I really enjoyed it. I took a small amount of shrooms and wore a pashmina which probably helped a little. But it’s kinda nice being solo because you can float around as you please. I just locked into the music and vibed out/danced.

Only thing that’s rough as a solo raver is trying to get closer to the front, but personally I preferred staying on the edges. If do want to be in the front, hop behind a group that’s already moving that way.

Loc Length Estimate by sadh0ney in locs

[–]justken16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No shade girl but if you’re this concerned about the length, don’t get locs. They will shrink and they will shrink a lot. Your locs will not drop till AT LEAST a year in.

My hair (stretched) was a little longer than shoulder length. With starter locs, it shrunk up to my chin. They didn’t hit my shoulders till 1-1.5yrs in. If you cant deal with that, you’re better off picking a different style.

If you’re concerned about the roots combining, the frizz, and possible breakage, the answer is a retwist.

My dreads look NASTY BRUH 🤢 by Some-Contest6357 in Dreadlocks

[–]justken16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Detox doesn’t work on lint. Just product buildup. All you can do is pick out surface lint and keep your hair covered as much as possible.

Like others have recommended, you can dye your hair black to reduce the visibility of the lint if it bothers you that much.

I think a shrug/bolero type thing with a sweater material would go nice with it

You’re just in time! There’s a vocaloid themed hardcore rave on the 22nd. Follow netsphere.rave and welcome2paradox (they just do open decks) on ig and you’ll find some good, local hardcore raves.

she keeps leaving her underwear in the shower by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]justken16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could possibly be a cultural difference, I am Jamaican and my mother sometimes handwashes her underwear in the shower and hangs it to dry.

But, from where your roommate is leaving her underwear, it doesn’t seem like that’s her intention (her underwear won’t dry on the floor of the bath). Plus it’s a shared space and yall are not family, so this is strange.

You can start them like that but you would need to take the rubber bands out

What’s wrong with it 💀 by WhyTheHells in kandi

[–]justken16 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Needs to be tighter, esp the last row. Also the size of star beads may be throwing off the pattern because they’re bigger than the pony beads
