i kinda relate tho my problem was dyeing my hair,
where i have the bright colours in my hair i was topping up the colour twice a week at one point, making uber sure that the colour waas solid and bright as i hate the look of poorly dyed hair, if ur gona do it - do it right
think i kinda got a complex about it, bit of an addiction to having perfect hair. i love my crazily coloured hair, its a part of me as much as my dreads are now!!
, but since i started my dreads and i dont condition my hair anymore my colour lasts so much longer i dont have to re dye for the best part of a month.
for me the 'letting go' of having dreads has shown me that i can have 'my' hair but not have to panic about it!!
i used to dye the rest of my hair black and now ive got a good 3 inches of root, the last time i dyed it ws jus before i TnRd my dreads in, so itskind of its own time line!!!
let yourself be addicted to the beauty of what your hair can do on its own!! its amazing!
