Man, i've been trying to dread for almost a year now....ofcourse the first 6 months were not really productive because my hair was too short....now im at 6 1/2 to 7 inches of hair...and im just getting so fed up. I'm so tired of people bothing me about my hair. I have ZERO DREADLOCKS...and my hair isn't really doing anything! I wash with baking soda and dr bronners, but no results....and i'm considering a NEW METHOD to get them because I need to MAKE SOME DAMN MONEY, and i wanna have dreads before i start working, rather then getting them while working, as that can set off something and get me fired.
I'M JUST SO SICK OF THIS, I HATE HOW I'M LIMITED BECAUSE I WANT TO DREAD, I NEED TO FIND WORK BUT THE SOCIETY HATES ON US, AND ITS HARD....I FEEL VERY ALONE AND VULNERABLE, WHEN IT COMES TO THE DECISION....
WHERE YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN YOUR GOALS/DREAMS/WANTS....OR WORK!!!
THAT'S SOME BULL MAN, I WANNA LIVE FREE AND BE ME....BUT I NEED TO MAKE MONEY,
I GUESS this post doesn't really have anything for you to reply to, as it is just a RANT...I just really really want to get dreads, and I don't wanna give up the NATURAL DREADLOCKING METHOD, because it is very important to me, and symbolic in alot of ways...it just hurts, to know that some jobs will reject me, and some people will hate on me because of a hairstyle, but haters are going to hate, and lovers will love. I just wish there was a faster way to get dreadlocks, I'M A PATIENT PERSON, BUT MAN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AT LEAST A LITTLE PROGRESSION! MAYBE IM DOING SOMETHING WRONG....IDK
what can i do? i mean i do baking soda washes/dr bronner washes like every 3 days, i never EVER EVER run a comb through it, and i wear a beanie alot....i mean damn man it's just discouraging....
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE? OR JUST KIND WORDS OR ANYTHING? I NEED SOME SUPPORT BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
