So i just got out of a little stint in the slammer. it was only a few months so it wasn't that bad. but on the last few weeks there i got lice. and it sucked it sucked really bad. so they got rid of them and all was fine. then i get out and a week later BAM they are back. today i will be cutting my hair. this is the third time i've had them. i've done the alcohol thing and its worked i just don't think i washed everything in my house well enough. maybe some eggs laid dormant inside a dread from having them so many times. i dunno. but today i will be dreadless. now when i cut them i'm going to leave a few inches of dread to try and comb out. i think if i buzz my head then you will be able to see the horrible condition of my scalp. which is covered in scabs from scratching it like crazy. i will be growing them back immediately following the cutting. just with shorter hair and the right way this time. not crochet. no back comb. all natural baby. all natural.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that you feel you have to cut em. That is very very sad. Being in jail sucks but loosing your dreads because of it is horrible. I combed my first set of dreads out because my daughter picked up head lice from school. So I really do feel for you.

But I admire your attitude! Starting fresh! You will love your future dreads and appreciate them even more! Good luck to you!!!

I'm sorry to hear this :( Lice is a hassle w/ out dreads and I can imagine w/ dreads even worse but I am so glad you are remaining positive and going natural this time will be great to see!
