Yeah, I did think about that, I'm not going to create a banner anyway because I realized I don't even know how

Does it have to be pics from this site? I made a collage yesterday of my favorite dread pics I found googling images...many were from this site, but not all.

Thank you so much! My other timeline was one pic from each time I took photos because I was having trouble trying to organize them on the page...this worked perfectly! They are getting all crazy now!

Questions
Introduce Yourself
Same here! I was told today no head wraps at work, head bands ok, wearing my hair up is ok, down it looks unprofessional. Time to get creative! My boss did tell me she didn't think I was keeping my hair like this, I had to explain that I was letting it dread and it should be much more tight in a year or so, she thought that was such a long time! Hell, 3 months have almost passed already. Now, was I really just letting my hair get real messy for 3 months so I could spend hours trying to comb it out and go back? No!
People still don't understand today, they have to accept me and my hair or they will lose me. So when I get asked "How long do you plan on keeping your hair like that?" or "What if youwant to take it out?" I answer, "A long time, I don't want to take it out, better get used to it". No one tells me how to wear my hair at home, as soon as I leave that office I let them be free!

I know what you mean!! I can't cover mine at work, headwear is not in our dress code, so I have to get creative with headbands, elastics, braids,(although as they lock up my dreads are getting too short to braid anymore), and try to make them less noticeable. It's part of my process I embrace, although it's not my favorite part! I like being able to just leave them down and free!
Heather said:well since i'm still in the beginning of my journey right now it doesn't even look like i have dreads. it looks more like a big mess. so far no one but my immediate family knows of my journey. i usually have them covered up with a hat or scarf. i can't wait until i can where them as is. i'm a little too self conscious right now.
