Hi there, I'm new
I have been obsessed with dreads for years, probably wanted them since I was around 15. First it was my parents wouldn't allow it, then it was my bf didn't like them, then it was OMGOSH I'll have to shave my head afterwards.
I've learned & grown. My husband (the bf) has accepted me for who I am & is fine with me dreading now, & I've discovered the "proper" way to get them, take care of them & get rid of them.
I've always hated my hair. The color, the wave, the cut (only had 3 cuts I think I've liked in my life). I recently used henna & indigo, my mixture was a bit off & it ended up really red. I've started using a backing soda/apple cider vinegar routine for my hair & it's feeling so nice. I'm planning on trying the henna/indigo again in the next few days for a darker red color, then after a few more days I intend to start going down the natural dreading route.
Wish me luck!
(& OMGOSH don't ever stop posting photos of the dread I LOVE THEM ALL!)
