First, your girls are absolutely gorgeous. I can see old spirit in Cheyanne and such a sense of wonder from Raven!! Beautiful!! Rainbow dyeing your dread....if Koolaid doesn't work, try something like Punky colors, they're a little pricey, but the jars are resealable, so you could use them later, and they're thick, so you could put all the colors on at the same time, They wash out in about six weeks, and they smell deliciously fruity!! My son is 2, and he has dreads. They started all on their own,so we just let them go, he likes them, he plays with mine and his daddies too, and if you ask him if he wants dreadlocks, he says a very enthusiastic "Yeah!" My daughter doesn't like them, but if she wanted them, I would let her have them too. I feel it's important to let our children make decisions like that. It gives them an important sense of empowerment. It's tough enough to be little and have so much that you can't do for so many reasons, let them make decisions when it won't cause them harm. My nephew, now 12, loved his long hair. His mother (my sister, although she disowned the family) cuts his hair as punishment. She knows the power of hair, and thusly uses it to punish him. She first cut it when he was around 8, and he cried, and she hasn't let him grow it back out yet, she says he hasn't behaved well enough to deserve long hair.I can't believe that in 4 years he's misbehaved so terribly, he's a sweet kid.Just one of those points where we had a difference of opinion...Anyhow, as I was saying, I believe in empowering our children, and allowing to make the decisions regarding their hair and what they want to do with it is just one of the ways we can do that!!
