I hope that I am posting this is the right spot. I'm still trying to get a feel for this website. I am SUPER interested in dreadlocks. I go to college and have plenty of time that I could just let my hair do what it wants. I am very interested in the natural method.
I am curious though.. if dreads will grow faster and develop faster if I start with shorter hair. I have had like a "fohawk" before, so I am not really scared of cutting my hair. But maybe I am thinking the complete opposite of the truth. Maybe having long hair allows it to knot up and stuff faster? I think the journey will be good. I am still learning a lot about dreadlocks (mostly from this site).
I am such a relaxed person and before now, never even considered dreadlocks. I didn't really ever take notice of them. But I have such a "surfer" personality.. even though I live in Indiana (hah). I just think that the hair would flow with me and grow with me as I walk the earth everyday. Let me know what you think!
I have attached a picture of what I look like now. If I need to cut any of it, let me know. Or if I just need to start now, say so! Thanks!
