I can't even remember when my obsession with dreads started, but for years I have been looking at pictures of dreads, watching movies with dreads, and talking to strangers about their dreads. I have wanted them for so long and every time I would bring the subject up with my family and friends, of course I would be shut right down. I kind of gave up hope of having them, until recently. One day I woke up and thought "I'm 26, why do I care what people say?" So that was when I started to get excited. Of course I told people but when I told them, I said there was no way they could talk me out of it. I'm a hairstylist, (I know GASP haha) but in my profession it's okay to have fun hair so everyone I work with (except 1) really supported me. That made my decision that much easier. Last week I had a co-worker help me and together we twisted and ripped my hair and I was so happy the whole time! I only have partial dreads for now. The partial dreads were a pretty big shock to my Mom and husband, so I'm going to slowly ease into a full head. I'll get there in time though. I don't use any products on my dreads, besides a clarifying shampoo made by kenra. When I first started looking for online dread groups, I came across the one who shall not be named (LOL), so I am really glad I found this site!
