read that already but cheers lol,should look better by august time, so i doubt i'll cut them off..... I am ready... I am, trust meeee

I vote not ready. You are already thinking of cutting. That's kinda like working out and then eating crap loads of McDonalds. Think about it....they're not going to look better by August. In fact, your dreads might not look exactly how you want to for their entire life so you're going to cut them. If my dreads turn out completely different from what I expect...I still wouldn't cut. I take that as a sign of readiness. Not to break your self esteem but if you don't like messy hair then dreads aren't for you. Shuaib ahmed said:

they will always look better
they will always look worse
every day they will change
every day u can find beauty
or u can fuind fault
if all you see is problems
close your eyes
and dont look
ignore them completely
till that day you
nice dreads man
on the street
then run to a mirror
and see what they mean
there is no schedule
august is just a date
they dont need to be perfect
they just need that time
you'll knoww theyre ready
when a fellow dready
yells out hey natty


thenm you can look..



stop expecting perfection in a week in a month..or at all
just be happy with slow steady progress without a deadline.. cause what if u reach that deadlone and cut? then your journetys ended you got nowhere you rushed and rushed and never passed the starting line..its not a race its a trip take 1 step at a time enjoy the scenery take detours the goal will be reached when u reach the goal..not a momment sooner..but..u will get there unless u give up

well u started the woese wa u can possibly start all u can do now is let them recover stop messing with them at all and hope the new growrth comes out fine ..u may end up cutting off or losing the felted patys cause they are destroyed but thats ok everything new fronm here on out will be fine..not by august though you will have like an inch or less newew growth by then when u get 2-3 inches of healthy dreads then cut off the ruined parts..and ..demand your money back she ruined your dreads

Sounds like you're starting to get it. Don't just go with the flow though.Enjoy the journey, man. Best way to dread is to have tons of fun outdoors or doing something that you truly enjoy. Dreads are about a lot of things. One of them is not caring. Don't care what they look like or what people think, it's more about life, nature and spiritual gratification. Nice post by the way, Lisa! Fully agree. Shuaib ahmed said:

I haven't had mine for very long either. Maybe you should use this as an opportunity to improve your patience. Not just with this, but with other aspects of your life. If you are seriously thinking about cutting them off, I agree that you may not be ready. Just be patient!! = ]
