Hi, i'm Kelley, and my dreads are just babies, 2 days old :)

Like most people on this site, i'm glad I found it. I had almost commited to the wax and crap they sell on line. I am very happy to say my babies are 2 days old, no chemicals, no wax!!

I have been on a hell of a journey the last 3 years. I used to think I had control...I would plan every last detail and just make it work. I realized in 2008 that no matter how much I plan for, shit gets through the loopholes. SoI have been slowly transforming into aperson Inever imagined.

So,my dread story. I've been checking this site out for amonth or so. I asked my hubby how he felt about dreads, and he said it wasn't his favorite choice (he liked my long silky hair) but he would support whatever I wanted to do. (he's always been that way...it'sone of the million reasons he is awesome) Well, he's been looking over my shoulder as I've beenthrough this site MANY times.I've had them 2 days now and he LOVES them! He did some palm rollingon a few of my dreads last night, and hewas pointing out certain ones that he likes, evenusing the word 'phattie'. So funny!We went shopping yesterday and he picked out a couple tams for me

My mind is opening up...I am excited about growing intomy new self. Having to let it go and just be...this is goona be one hell of a ride!

I love the stories here. I feel so comfortable on this site. You are all beautiful.

My new book Ban The Taboo Vol 1

I did the tnr method. (without much ripping) My hair is long, and I had it dyed blonde on top and black underneath. I dreaded the blonde on top, left the black underneath straight. Because it's layered, it looks awesome. I decided not to color it or dye it, just dread it. I wanted to stay natural without chemicals as much as possible. I woke up this morning and the first thing my husband said was they were beautiful! Thank you for having this website

Hi and congrats on your new baby dreads! Mine are almost two months twist and rip. Expect em to come really loose before tightening back up. Some days will look more promising than others. Enjoy the journey!

welcome! we love you!! im glad you started your dreading <3
