Good Days and Bad Days
Today marks exactly 2 weeks since I started the dreading process. It has been fun so far but I DO have my mix of good days and bad. Today is a bad one. My head looks like a wrestling match between straight long hair against knotted hair. It's a cross between cave-man and burned-out rock star. UUUGGGHH. Anyone who has been through this will tell ya, "relax man, its all part of the process. Takes time dude".The hardest part is trying to separate the dreads to prevent "crossovers" of hair and developing a congo entwinement. Dreadlocks, as they mature will be much less hassle and maintenance free for the most part, but I still have about 9 months (with luck) to go. On a positive note, my dreads have tamed down quite a bit and I don't have as much of an afro of dreads so much as I did a week ago. I wear a tam most of the time when I'm out and about and take it off when I am at home. I can only hope my new place of employment will allow me to wear it as I teach during the day. If not, I am sure they will change their mind upon seeing the WWF match going on, on my head. Let's hope that the dreads win over the loose straight hair!Here's to a dreadful, natural beginning!(pictures will be posted soon and all smart-ass remarks are expected).
Wow to say we had our dreads done on the same day, mine are a different story. I haven't had any bad days with them. The majority are locking up quite nicely. Others are looser and some are splitting themselves in two. It's awesome to see my hair grow into a wild mess! I'm gunna do another YouTube vid in the next week or so you can see them! Have fun soon!
LOL raw sum....THAT is funny!
LOL, well raw sum, I DO have one dread that seems to be the bully of the bunch. It's so far the most knotted up one and beautiful but he likes to cause trouble to the other babies by taking away loose hairs. UMPF! Hmmmm, never thought I could psychologically animate my hair before....but in a philosophical and metaphoric way, my dreads are teaching me a lot about the characters in life that we come across. Perhaps it's the tea talking HA!
