So I have been a dreadie now for nearly 2 years 1 year and 9 months and29 days to be exact.... Due to the thickness of my dreads and the extream heat we have been having in AZ my dreads were looking very rough! I felt like I was in a rut and I needed to start over.. better sectioning thinner more feminine looking... so I took the plunge and cut them off... I cried but my hair was in really bad shape... I did not start with wax on this set and just used Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar washes. I did dye them using regular dye and I think that is what really did them in so next time I will use Henna instead... Here is some photos of the process.
As you can see so much loose hair and really thick dreads, took like 2 days to dry fully only for me to shower and start the process over again. I am lucky it is dry in AZ otherwise I would have mold like crazy!
Here is the new do and I love it... Very different but going to start growing it again for a new healthier set
I will still be lingering on here so don't worry I am not gone for good now that I don't have my own dreads. I will still be envious of all of yours!
Soon I will be back with a new set!
Oh and yes... I did cry before I got to the salon... I was freaking out but it was time...
Namaste'
Izzylicious!
