Why thank you very much , they are even more mesmerizing in real life, i reckon i could hypnotise people with them, they are quite a unique sky blue i guess you could say. pictures really do no justice though, bad flash bad focus .

Hey all,Been a long time lurker for nearly a year now ever since i saw Soaringeagles youtube videos of his 20 year dread update,I had contemplated getting dreads for the last 5ish years i just never new which way to go about it, 3 years ago i had my hair shoulder length and was going to get it done at a shop mainly to impress a girl who said she liked them... silly mistake that wouldve been if i went ahead with that,I ended up cutting my hair back to a number 2 on october of 2009 and that was the last time i had cut it, i let it grow its length back for 2 years and went with it, until november of last year i decided to finally go ahead let my hair go and grow in natural neglect style, i stopped combing went to washing between once and twice a week to keep it clean, and have never looked back,Best thing i ever did was too make the correct decision of originally waiting until i found the right moment in my life to do it the correct way,Have been 7 months into my dreading so far and loving it,Only downside is that i have to tie my hair back daily for work as i work in retail, and because its at an inbetween length ive got to have it tied rather tight which slows the process and gives the tips of some of the top dreads a fat chunk in the end where its been pulling up and knotting.Enough with my jargon ill upload a few pics in here for now, and the rest are in my profile ,Peace and Love and Light.

Let's Get Personal

General Talk

I guess i had loved locs for a long time, i had always loved the connection to my inner self that reggae music gave oneself and loved the look of Bob Marley's locs,As a youngin i always had short hair shaved it as soon as it got more than an inch or 2 long(allthough i hated brushing my hair and never did hence why i kept it short), when i hit between 10-12 my hair started becoming extremely curly instead of the dead straight it was originally, and it was something i did not like, not until i left school at the age of 15 and started teaching myself about life and the world, i started to love my curls because i knew they were unique and how so many people would kill/pay alot of money to get a perm, whereas for me it came naturally .I first grew it to nearly shoulder length at about 17-18 years old, but then i ended up shaving it back again because my boss told me it was getting too long and messy(working as a butcher and around meat all day it was understandable being at an inbetween stage where i could not tie it),After i chopped it off that last time i ended up just letting it grow and have never cut my hair since, in my final year of my butchery apprenticeship i had started researching into spirituality and alternate thinking and became such a happy and more fulfilled person during this journey, and learnt to embrace nature and all things natural, We were all born natural beings and we will all die natural beings.After 2 years of growing my hair i decided to finally take the plunge and let my hair just grow completely natural like our great ancestors and let it neglect dreadlock, Also i learnt about how natural hair with length brings out natural intuition in humans and becoming a more spiritual/mystical being in general,(the native-american trackers grew their hair long so they could intuitively track animals and prey on land and find their way through dense bush(it was their guiding force as i heard it)So basically the growing of my dreadlocks is a kind of spiritual initiation for myself, and the becoming of a more natural person connected with the earth goddess and all of life in general.Their is alot more of a story behind it but its always hard to explain the whole story over the internet :D.Peace and Love everyone.
