Hi! I registered to this site some months ago but haven't posted anything yet.
I had my first dreadlocks about 4 years ago. I didn't know basically anything about dreadlocks, I just decided to get them on a whim. I was ignorant then, I know. I had them about 3 months and then I decided to brush them out because I got so frustrated with them opening and being messy. How little I knew back then. Last summer I found out about the natural method of dreadlocks and got really interested. Then I found this site and I have been reading the discussions and learning a lot about dreadlocks.
I decided some time ago that I will start "growing" natural dreads at some point. I just feel so inspired and want to start the journey right now. :D I feel that something's holding me back though. I dance ballet and in ballet classes and performances hair must be "tidy". I know that dreads can be pulled on a bun too but I think that this "problem" is just mainly in my own head. I'm really insecure about myself. I'm on my journey of self-acceptance and defeating my insecurity about myself. My hair is now a bit past my shoulders and it's pretty thin and fine.
