Thank you! I would love to see timelines of other people with really curly hair like mine. I thought my hair was the freakiest looking mess when it first started seperating (actually, it is still a freaky mess!!) But I am really starting to enjoy the process. As a matter of fact, my hair has started to straighten a little with the length now. I would like to keep a little of the curl with my developing dreads - just to be different!!!!
I am sure when it is hot and humid this summer it will be real interesting to see what it does. MAJOR curls in the summer time Ha-Ha!!! Knottysleeves said: I think they look great for only 2 months! I love your curls.

O.K. - I don't think it has been quite two months since I stopped running my fingers through my hair. Now I just "re-arrange" LOL! What do you guys think? Should I be super happy with the progress or is it just a big 'ole mess???? ;P By the way - sorry, kind of crappy webcam pictures.

soaringeagle said:yeatree and eucolyptus both repell bugs i spend alotta tuime deep in the wilderness too and where we have drum circles typicaly every night the ppl around me would get 3-8 ticks each and well in 20 years i had 1 tick sucking on my head 1 in my navel and 3-4 crawling on my but not sucking
also i find at gatherings the 1st 2 days there u get eatten alive but after 2 days wont get bit once its a combo of getting dirty being around a fire and change of diet perfumy products sweets sugary snacks etc junk foods seem to make ya a more tasty snack
to deal with bitting insects i smear lil mud or ash on bites t soothes the itch and discpurages more bitting
i guess the answer is i just dont worry bout it much

O.K. - I have kind of a wierd question, but another member and I have been emailing each other about this today... When you live on a farm, or in the woods, etc. and you spend a lot of time outside either working with animals or just hanging - do you have to worry more about getting bugs or critters in your dreads???? I garden a lot, take care of my chickens and spend a lot of time in a field and under trees. We have a lot of ticks in the spring, spiders and just bugs in general. I am always swatting at or picking some stinging or biting bug off. We tend to get a lot of spiders too - big, "honkin", man-eating garden spiders!! LOL! I don't want these things stuck "in" my hair - even temporarily. Do I really need to be concerned about this? I know I can cover my hair when I work, but is that enough? I use an organic shampoo with tea-tree, eucalyptus and rosemary. Can anyone let me know if I am being overly concerned or have any suggestions? Thanks!
