It has been 258 days since i took out my first set of dreads(which i crochet and backcombed in and had for 4 months) and 256 days since started my journey over and stopped brushing my hair....

i wash my hair every other day with dr. bronners lavander soap, and occasionally spray my hair with salt water mixture...

TO ALL MY FELLOW DREADHEADS:

I cannot say how happy i am with my descion of starting over! i love all the new changes everyday! i wan tto thank all of you for all the encouragement ive been recieving from this site and youtube. Its everyones kind words that keeps me going,sometimes i look in the mirror and think that my hair looks horrible in the stage its in(and how unfair that some people in this amount of time have perfectly shaped dreads that actually look like dreads) and when people comment on my videoes saying "your hair looks DISCUSTING" or "those are NOT dreads" or "EW" it really brings me down and makes me feel so discourages...but then i remmeber all the people that send positive comments on my pics and vids and it puts a smile on my face and remind myself that its only going to keep looking better in time, AND remind myself of how insecure i was about my hair before having dreadlocks!!

I remmeber when i started my dreads i was always watching videos and looking at pictures and i have so many people inspired me to just go for it and lock up my hair... and for people to tell me now that i inspire them,and that i can be the one to help someone with there dreads, or inspire them to come join this journey with all of us warms my heart! i love helping other people and giving them tips ive learned ALOT about dreadlocks over the past year from personal experience.

i cannot wait to see how my dreads will look in another 6 months!!!!

TODAY I LOVE MY DREADS, and where i am in this journey

DAY 1......
