Hello!

Introduce Yourself

I really appreciate this post, very glad you posted it. I'm on day 4 of my journey, hehe not far but veryn excited. I only mentioned to my mom the other day that I was doing more research on dreads and she was not happy at all. I got the whole "youre going to ruin your hair and have to shave your head" "they look so nasty" "your going to look like a boho" and then finally " I don't even want to talk about this." She wouldn't even hear my reasoning.It put a huge damper on my mood for my dreads. Almost made me change my mind honestly. I don't want to disappoint my mom she's the closest thing to me. But after reading this post I have another outlook once again. A new hope. She will get used to them and I really believe she will learn to love them with me so thank you very much for this post!!!

dreadlocks changing more than your hair

General Talk

I am only a few weeks in, but already I feel changes in myself. They're not fully complete butI am growing and Ican feel it. Definitely a confidence booster. For I was always very particular about how I wanted my hair to look. I wanted it to be perfect and straight and lay exactly in the right spots. I no longer care about that and its been a huge relief. With that being said, since I no longer have to take that extra time to "make myself look nice" I'm enjoying the smaller things in life. I thought I was before but I feel a whole new side to it now. For example, instead of taking time to use three different products in my hair in the shower, I can stand there, feel the relaxing warm water running through my hair and on my body. Taking my time showering has somehow just made me see how you can REALLY appreciate the smallest things in life. That to me is so important. Love love love this post! Was gona post my shower scenario earlier but found this:)
