I'm Doing It. I'm Taking Them Out..

I decided to go ahead and attempt to remove my 9 day old crochet dreads. I thought and thought about it and my heart told me that I was cheating myself out of the journey that has become so important to me. I decided that if I cant give it my all, from day 1, then I shouldnt be doing it at all.So far, Ive gotten abou 8 out. All the front ones. Only 28 to go :/. It is not easy. Anyone have any tips to make it easier? Ive soaked in conditiner, used olive oil and brushing. I seem to be losing alot of hair, but Im not noticing any bald spots so that is good. My plan is to let my scalp rest a day ot 2, the start TnR or neglect, maybe a combo of the 2.I think this will be much more satisfying in the long run.BTW-Thanks Mama Christina for the 'listen to your heart advice'

Trying to be gentle but its hard. I got alot of knots that just ripped out . But Im sure it looks like more than it is. I hope. I think I will go natural, my hair does knot up nicely on its own. Now I need to research natural soaringeagle said:
