Cant make up my mind.. words of wisdom?

General Talk

I knowexactly how you feel! I think I also posted a topic like this last year or something. I'm still uncertain of what to do.

My hair really wants to dread, I can tell. One night - bang! The hair seems to be sticking together and separating more or less. The same happens, if I go outside and wear a wool beanie for a couple of hours.

So yes, my hair really would like to dread, but my mind not. :D Inside, I'm still fighting whether or not dreads are something I'm ready for.. and like you said, sometimes I just don't know who I am. Am I the girl with dreads or not?

I have understood though that I am very prejudiced towards myself! Like, I have this image that if I'm a singer and play piano and/or teach singing, I can't have dreads. That dreads don't go along with singing classical music. I make my own stereotypes, and it's awful! I wish I could just let go of my prejudices and enjoy this life, which I'm going to live only this one time.

Do keep us updated!

Dreading Methods

Merry Christmas to you too! Nice to see another Scandinavian around here.

I have found that twist & rip and the neglect method are quite good methods, so, I pretty much agree with the other people here.

Dreads & exercise

General Questions

SE - haha, you never know. :P

Well, I really don't know how heavy dreads can get.. one of my friends has dreads that are very long, and she says that they sometimes give her headaches, at least if she keeps them in a bun or in some kind of updo/knot .

Dreads & exercise

General Questions

Namaste,

I would like to ask you, what kind of exercise do you do and how do you manage to do it with dreads? I'm a bit of afraid that when dreads grow really long and become heavy, I might not be able to do certain things, for example running...

Have a wonderful day. <3

Uncertainty - to dread or not

General Questions

Thank you all for your replies and kind words! <3 Decided to go with the dreads.

For a long time now I've considered women with dreadlocks the most beautiful of women (don't get me wrong, I'm a girl myself). Nowadays the image of a "perfect woman" given to us by the media really irritates me - I hate all the crap that is given to us; what women are expected to look like and be.

Uncertainty - to dread or not

General Questions

Hi!

I'm new to this forum but already posting.

I really like dreads , one of my friends has the most exquisite dreads I have ever seen - she is such an inspiration for me. I would really like to get dreads, and I actually have tried them a couple of times already but I always end up taking them off.

For the past couple of days I've been pondering why I do this, but I'm still not sure. It seems like I have two personalities - one who has dreads and one who has straight hair and somehow I can't mix these two personalities into one. Like, I sing and dance but somehow these things don't go together with dreads (I sing classical music and dance ballet and modern dance). I really astonish myself with this - I really would like to have dreads but then again not, because I feel they are not "me". Or something.

Sorry about this long rant, not sure what I actually wanted to ask or tell.. perhaps ask if any one of has had the same kind of experience?

At the moment I'm once again at the verge of making dreads again, butI don't think my hair could actually go through such an ordeal once again of dreading and taking them off. (Yeah, I drive my boyfriend and my friends crazy with this thing... :S )
