First off, lemme start by saying how HAPPY I am that I found this site. I started my journey in to the world of dreadlocks about a week ago. Unfortunately, Knotty Boy and DHHQ got to me before ya'll did. Yes, I used wax :c BUT, thanks to you guys I'm on the road to perfectly natural, awesome dreads!
Enough about that though.
My name's Kyle and I live in Texas. I've always been fascinated with dreadlocks, but never really had any interest in having them myself until fairly recently. I believed all the "dirty, nasty hippy dreads" propaganda, so I left it to the "Dirty, nasty Hippies". After doing some research however, I found out I was wrong and immediately decided I wanted my own awesome 'Locks! After spending countless hours researching (in the wrong places, of course) and about $150 in useless products, I was ready (maybe?). Combs and wax in hands, me and my friend set to work. The friend that was helping me had experience with dreads, so I trusted him to guide me. Apparently he needed some guidance himself lol.
13 hours later: My babies were born, and I have been in love with them ever since...
Upon learning of our flaws, I stopped using the wax. Man is this stuff a paaaaiiiin to get out! Too bad I spent all that money on useless crap and can't afford any of that magical Wax-b-Gone ya'll speak so highly of! But alas, I have learned the error of my ways, and I'm attempting to fix it :3
Enough about my hair, though. I'm sure ya'll are interested in the person wearing it.
I'm 20 years old, and I enjoy longboarding, music and learning new things. I strive to put as much good in to the world as possible. As of now, I'm not going to school or anything, but I have a desire to go to college and major in Social Work. I love helping people, and I want to do it as a career. Lately, I've been extremely interested in learning about spirituality and Buddhist principles. Really hoping to bring some peace and closure within my life through that. But anywho, I'm gonna shut up. I can tell I'm rambling, and I'm terrible at talking about myself. If you have ANY questions, please, don't be afraid to ask me. Thank you all, and I look forward to learning and growing within this community. Oh, and create some gnarly dreads while I'm at it :d
