Since I have not posted in a while (though I do reference the forums quite a bit for support), I decided to drop a line since my one year anniversary is approaching.This has been such an interesting journey, starting with elation in the beginning, and running the gamut of emotions from fear, frustration, joy, bliss and confusion!To date, my dreads are locking up very well with a few exceptional loose hairs. The back underside is very tight, as seems to be typical. I have had virtually no growth in the back since the shrinking became extreme 4-5 months ago.I now am starting to see the curlies start in the front of my hair, and have some apprehension about just how short these will become. I am surprised to see just how much shrinkage has occurred (and I know I am not the only one!), and am weary to discover that it may continue to year two and beyond.For now, I am enjoying them, and will keep them so long as I do. I am not attached, as is an attitude I hold in all areas of my life - or at least strive to. I am also reminding myself of this spiritual journey that unfolds through the teaching of this process that is also beyond what I expected; This is the perfect outlet to explore ego, patience and releasing expectation.An interesting thing I have found is just when I am deciding I am ready to cut them all off, I get back to back compliments on their beauty and progress. I will post some updated pics on my almost 12 month progress.Much love to all!Renee
