Do you consider yourself a hippie?
General Talk
well i always thought it was someone who was into respecting the earth, living naturally (well as much as you can these days) etc it's probably open to vast interpretation.

Maybe its because i don't have any spirituality tied up with my lifestyle.

it's kind of complicated for me. I certainly am crunchy and have this adorable family and life that is completely non mainstream. For example, we homeschool, I had an unassisted homebirth, we babywear, we dont vax or circumcise, we use cloth diapers (when elimination communication isn't working), we cosleep, Nick is the stay at home parent, I extend breastfeed, we use cloth products (including TP) natural products, whole foods etc.I feel like a poser whenever I want to wear an apron top or something patchy. I LOVE the way hippies look but feel kind of weird about looking like one myself. Like people will make assumptions about me or something. totally weird because I dont generally care what people think.

dying dreads?
Dread Maintenance
Thanks. going back to my natural color would require bleaching since my natural color is "dirty blond" I'd prefer not to go that route since it will fry my hair big time. right now my hair is super healthy and shiny

I use a semi perm dye every 6 weeks to give me this lovely shade of red. i would like to continue to color my hair, is that possible?

thanks and will do. when do you start using salt water? do you finger comb your hair at all or do you just never do anything with it?

Well I got wise and after being together 12 years, moved on. yeah I definitely am not interested in a lot of work, maintenance, and product so natural to me seems like the only way to go for sure.

Ive been thinking about dreads for years. My controlling ex husband wouldn't "let me" get them and after the birth of my second child i cut my nearly waist long (impossible to maintain) hair in a pixie and kept short hair for a few years. Now that I have been growing my hair out for a couple years dreads are again on my mind, esp since I painstakingly have to comb the rats out of my hair 30 minutes a day. Just seems like dreads are the obvious choice.
