dreadlocks changing more than your hair
General Talk
I've changed so much in the past week since I started my dreads. For as long as I can remember I was never happy with my hair. I hated it short, I hated it long, I hated it when it was down, I hated it when it was up. I was almost constantly brushing it because it was always getting tangled up. I spent 20 minutes every morning trying to flat iron it and fill it with waxy products so it would stay flat. When I finally started my dreading process it was the most freeing thing I've ever done. I never realized I could love this 'nappy mess' on my head as much as I do. After the first time I washed them with the bs deep cleanse my hair felt amazing. I decided that if my hair felt that good without chemicals, sulfates, and perfumes being put into it, then my body would feel great too. I went out and bought organic body wash, lotion, and deodorant. Im also starting to eat better, not just for the weight loss, but because it makes me feel so good. I'm more energetic, and in better moods.
It also made me realize that I didnt need to take any crap from my controlling boyfriend. He hated that I finally stood up for myself and I did something he told me not to do. Sad right? Our relationship will be ending soon, and I'm happy to say I'm not sad about it at all.
So you could say my dreads changed almost everything about me for the better. I feel almost enlightened. Sorry for such a long response. Haha.
