Hey, I'm Rhia.

Soo, I have a tendency for doing things on impulse. Dreads was one of them. I mean I've wanted them for a while, but I went to work on my head one night when I was bored and the rest of my family was sleeping. I like it, even though it's a nest right now. I started backcombing/palmrolling to get them started and now I am just leaving them to do what they will. I had bands in them but I took them out in like 10 minutes.

Anyways, I've gotten compliments on them and a few people asked for my number. On the other hand, my mom, my sister, and my niece aren't really fans and keep telling me to brush my hair before it's too late. Kinda discouraging but it's my choice and like it. They're staying for sure.

That's about it I guess. Namaste!

I'm not getting any familial support, either. My grandma nags me on a daily basis. 'Vicky, it just looks like you just don't brush your hair...' Well, grandma, I'm not; so... yeah.

well congrats on your journey

They'll probably come around when they get used to it. The messy stage puts off a lot of people I guess. I still get the, "it's been ages and it doesn't even look like dreads yet, just go to a salon" from my parents :\ but ah well. Enjoy every stage of it

So far I've been enjoying it. I don't care what negative opinions I get because I knew it was bound to happen before I even started the journey. It's a mess right now, but I get happier as each day passes.

they will make u happier all the time if u let em
