heyy
so i've started my dreadlock journey one week ago, and i thought it would be fun to make a timeline on how it's going and everything and then looking back cause they are changing already!!
so yeah, i'm gonna update every week, and i'm growing dreadlocks the natural way - no combing and just bs/acv twice a week/or when needed
however, i've never really brushed my hair. everytime i had to go to the hairdresser they would always be like "wwwow, when was the last time you combed your hair?" and i would be like... "well, last time i visited u, so 6 months ago" however, dreads never formed because i just used a normal shampoo two times a week, so they never had the chance to
anyway, first some pictures of me before dreading
as u can see, my hair is very scandinavish however it's wavy too, but i just had the idea, that my hair was a lot prettier when it was all flat
this is at party, where i spend like 1+ hour to get my hair all flat like this
this is my normal hair structure so it's not like it's impossible to dread the natural way i think
1 week
so this is the back, u can't really see much here tho, except maybe the wavy one in the middle
so yearh, still not much to see, but it's like somehow in sections, not dreadlocks sections yet, but sections is better than nothing
and they're still in sections
dunno if it's just my eyes wanting so see dreads so badly, or if it's really kinda locking up, just a bit maybe?
anyway, i'll update ya'll next week
2 weeks
hi again guys! i promised i would update next week, so here we go
not much is happening yet, but my mom commented it, tho!
so.. not much is happening, as i said..
so it looks like a bit more is happening here, i guess?
sorry for looking all awkvard and stuff, hhahaha. well anyway, my hair is pretty frizzy at the top of my head, but u can't see it here, cause i'm to stupid to take a good picture, i guess
i have this one "dreadlock" tho, but it's kinda gone now after i showered, soo....
well anyway, i'll update u next week!!

hey all
Introduce Yourself
so hi
my name is mathilde, i'm 16 years and from denmark. i recently started dreading my hair the natural way, so i can't really see anything yet.
anyway, i wanted to grow dreads because... well, my entire life i've just felt kinda different from the people around me - i don't use makeup, i don't have an iphone, i don't really use my computer, i don't buy expensive clothes, i don't shave i don't color my hair, i'm vegan, i don't use any products to feal more beautiful and all that, so yearh.. not like all my friends. anyway, i felt different even before i became vegan and everything like that. like i want to do something meaningsful in my life and i want to make the world a better place and i like to read and write and be in the nature and everything. so anyway, in grade 6 i colored my hair all black. i was sure, that the entire "emo" thing was just me, so i meet those people, starting hanging out with them, going to concerts, started smoking and all that. i still, however, felt different. because they didn't care about anything. they cared about themselves and their eyeliner, and that wasn't really me. so i let the color dye out and became "normal" again, but i still needed people to know that i wasn't like them. so i started wearing all dresses and be like a really sweet girl, but once again, these girls just wanted the perfect man in their life and two lovely kids, and i'm not like that either, so... i went back to normal once again, trying to figure out what to do next, so this time i started paying attention to expensive clothes and i started buying that and everything, believeing that these people might cared about it, because they cared about their clothes so much... well, they didn't. so i went back to normal once again, not knowing what to do.
however, when i wasn't in one of my phrases i wouldn't wear makeup, color my hair, use my computer, phone or anything like that. and i started wondering what really would show people, that i care about different things than if my nailpolish is black or grey and if my foundation is bad (since im not using it), so when i read about natural dreadlocks, i was like: well, why not go all natural then? so that's what i did. and still doing.
so i'm growing dreadlocks because i always felt that something in my life is missing. i needed to show the "real" me, so i'm really hoping, that this is what i've missed all along and that i'm finally able to settle.
