Dreadlocks

Well, after 40 years of listening to others advice, I've finally made the big decision to join the Dread Family. I now am on day number 4 of this ongrowing, labor intensive hair trip. My God, what did I get myself into? However, I already love the look, as dreadful as it appears at these early stages of growth. Each of my 34 Medusa snakes is different and I daily palm roll each one; praying for them to "lock". It takes about 3 months of this kind of tender care to get those rocking dreads that look cool later- like for the rest of my life. So now, it's very weird with the new appearance- I feel self conscious much of the time. But I do feel like a diffent person too, as these dreads do a real number on your head- literly!
