wow time flies! I thought they were only like 5 weeks or something..they're starting to get tighter, looking at beginning photos i can definitely see a difference. i'm only washing my hair once a week or so. I have mad loose hair hopefully that gets sucked up soon. people are now able to notice from far away that i have dreads!

My dreads turned 3 weeks today! They're starting to lock up more, especially the dreads at the bottom of my hair. the thinner ones towards the front are taking a while, but i'm being patient. the ones at the bottom are starting to fee like rope i love it. there's still just some loose hairs around them but they're getting there!! I finally bought Dr. Bronner's castile soap, the peppermint kind. since my scalp is so sensitive and just not in a good state..the peppermint feels SO good on my scalp. I have a lot of dandruff, but I do have apple cider vinegar so I'll do a treatment on my scalp with that in a couple days and see how that goes.

In my personal life: got my nose pierced (yay!) hit my two week mark of NO RED MEAT in my vegan journey (also yay!) and I'm looking into the rastafari movement to see what that's all about and if it's something I'd like to be a part of. so we'll see!

My dreads are one week old now! They're going through some changes, they're starting to get tighter, a couple small loops and bumps are forming here and there. my scalp is punishing me right now, so itchy and dry...I've only been washing with water, haven't had time to buy the shampoo i need but hopefully i can in a couple days. I plan on jumping in the pool again in the next couple days and then seeing what happens, I have a lot of loose hair, it's really annoying! hopefully they'll just get sucked in though..and soon. lol.

I'm Destiny. This is my 3rd time around with dreads. The first time i did them completely natural. I brushed them out because my "family" did not support me and I had the words "hair" and "marriage" in the same sentence which is ridiculous. It's been a few weeks since I've left my awful marriage that used to be incredibly abusive. I have all this new found freedom to do what I want, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner...I'm liberated.

With that being said, of course the first thing I decided to do as a free woman, was to get my dreads back. I did the twist and rip this time, I'm not patient enough for full natural. I'm very excited about this life journey I'm about to embark on, I'm looking forward to the people I'll meet and the places I'll go. Talk to me!
