All advice iscompletelyprovisionaland all decisions are completely up to the individual. That being said, thedreadlocksjourney for me has definitely had its ups and downs. i try to keep in mind why i started down this path in the first place. I started out with more superficial reasons such as "it would be cool", or "I would look good in dreads". That was when i was 18. ididn'tstart dreading til 29!!! I just didn't have a strong enough foundation to make and maintain such a big decision. And you will never know how BIG of a decision it is until you initiate thephysicalmanifestationsof the journey and everyone is calling you "dirty hippie". The cool part comes when you can wear that badge with pride
Take your time with it and allow the journey to define these things for you by staying in the moment as much as possible. Having dreadlocks has ushered me into anintrospectivelifestyle and really helped me to define a lot of things about myself. Hope this was helpful.
