frustrated!


Introduce Yourself

Im only a month in and just joined this community for the same reasons. It seems difficult and that it would just be easier to stop right now but soaring eagle makes a valid argument. I wouldnt make a trip all the way to the ocean to only dip my foot in the water. I wanna dive under the waves and see where they take me. The journey isnt going to be as smooth as i anticipated, but will be worth it in the end.

Introduce Yourself

I started the natural dread process roughly one month ago and prior to that I viewed this site up and down to absorb everything possible and have finally decided to join.

The progress I have made thus far is already unbelievable to me. With only the use of residue free shampoo and throwing away a brush I am already forming various sections on the back of my head.
It's just tough right now... People around me just don't get it. They are all "custom bound" in that they are overly stuck in a more traditional way of doing things.
Everyone saying oh it's not professional, it looks like shit, you need to grow up. People are so arrogant.
Guess I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. Maybe just to vent..amongst people who might better understand where I am coming from.. Of course my head is a mess right now.. I'm totally fine with that. I really just hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel- cause I'm not giving up on this and am going to see it all the way through.
Thank you everyone for sharing your stories, giving advice, and making me feel like a person.
Any motivation or tips etc would be much appreciated as I attempt to push forward in my journey and i look forward to collaborating, learning, sharing, and possibly debating with all of you!
