Here's another hug for you, Purkurr! I heard someone else on here say that month 4 is the hardest because of the messiness. I've gotten a little freaked-out by mine lately, but just the other day I got a "nice dreads" comment from a complete stranger. I think we can be really self-critical and not see things very accurately. Much love!

I love this post, Purkurr! I can totally relate to the thoughts you describe going through your mind, especially about being obsessed w dreads but worrying about being too old or how they "fit in" to the other stuff I'm doing. I'm also a singer. It's really cool to meet others like me on here. 'So glad we connected!

That answered my questions. Thanks, Soaring Eagle. I appreciate all the helpful info on this site. That gave me the courage to finally do dreads and go the natural route.

Sweet, thanks! Very helpful. My hair is already sectioning itself. Should I put a bead on each one? Do I move them periodically once they're in?

I think people who criticize secretly envy those who are able to "go out on a limb" and do things differently. I wouldn't want to live in their heads.
