Im really bad at this,

So if you know me Im Alexander(Alika in hawaii) and.. my dreads were my life.

I cut them off for my mom because she wouldn't stop hrassing me for having them.

Complaining about colleges not acecepting me because of dreads, jobs not hiring me because of dreads(even though when i cut them off NOONE hired me anyway)

So in June we cut my babys off. I peered at a few and saw leftover wax still in them from years ago! She argues it was good to cut them off. But i argue that she ruined my journey.

anyhow. My hairs not too short, and she agreed once i get in college i can start my dreads again.. but this isn't up to her. its my hair. so i took over and said. by the begiining of 2012 im starting my dreads whether you like it or not. Pretty intense arguing back and fourth. But i figured if i didn't live my life MY way. I''d never achieve my goals.

So my cousin zack(had dreads for a 1 year now) has dreads by the Rasta way. He told me before i start again that i need to know the history and love of dreads. and why i wanted to start my journey in the first place.

So that's why im here on dreadlockssite once again. So i can relearn the meaning of growing my dreads in the first place.

i figure that ill start sectioning by january when i finish highschool.

if anyone has any advice after this horribly long story. Leave me some help!

Exactly! For all we know, this is our first and/or last life so you must do what feels right. Dreadlocks can save the world one head at a time I swear :P

dr bronners diluted maylees gardens (in our shops here) or baking soda no soap

As a mother I am glad you sacrificed one more time for her she as so little time left with you that giving her "this one" is the sign of a grown man in my opinion of those I have many...You have the rest of your life are moving forward your dreads should come naturally then...besides this is part of the journey to so no time lostIt is wonderful you want to learn "Why" first as well
