How would I look
Introduce Yourself
Indeed! I totally agree. The poofyness was a fun/silly part of the journey and I also found it amusing when I would wake up with a random lock sticking straight up (and it was always a diff one or several) and I would say to my friends "Oh, this guy(referring to my straight up lock)? They take turns telling me which direction to go." Nowadays, when I see a new dreadie, (it's typically the backcomb method that started it in the new dreadies I see), they always make me smile and think back to the beginning of my journey and how far I've come, and how awesome it's been you know? Plus, the new dreadies also make me smile because I think the poofy new locks look cute. :) but then again, i'm a little "goofy". hehe:)

THIS, exactly. I think it's kind of cool. And a week or two of poofyness from backcombing is so inconsequential in the long & grand scheme of the journey.
