I am sick!! I had long dreadlocks for EIGHT years and i cut them off for a guy and soon after he dumped me! They were past my shoulders and now i'm sick. I cut them in half, and my girlfriend spent nine hours combing the rest out using oil, mayo and hair conditioner. (the guy didn't like them and i was under his spell and so wanted to look "normal" for him.) I lost some hair and my hair is thinner now and not as thick as it was when i first started 8 yrs ago. I want to do dreads again. I tried doing it 2 wks ago and only ended up having 12 locks. I was thinking of maybe doing them real skinny and i'd have more then? My hair is very straight and thin as i am polish. Can i do them again with less hair? Or will it look stupid? Should i go to a hair salon or do it myself? I was thinking of maybe just braiding real skinny braids and then letting the rest at the top dread on it's own. Is there hope for me or should i just forget it? I am older, but i LOVE locks!!!
