My crazy dreads are 8 months old! Here’s what they’re doing… And I apologize for all the “ums”. There’s a reason I typically write instead of, well, speak. 🙂

Buy me a cup of coffee
A ridiculous amount of coffee is consumed in the process of writing these blog posts. If you enjoy my work, I'd be extremely grateful if you added some fuel to keep me going!
They look beautiful!
I was debating whether or not to tie my loose ends up or not. After hearing why you’re keeping yours I think I’m going to do the same. I love how fast my hair dries! And if lose ends are the reason for that, then lose ends it is 🙂
Thank you! And yes, I was pretty much going to leave my ends loose anyway, but hearing that just gave me all the more reason. 🙂
YAAY! Thanks for sharing. They are so fun!!!
you were the inspiration for my combing my hair back into dreads … and twisting and ripping some. So, I am seven months into the journey again. My dreads still don’t look as defined as yours do and I still have a lot of loose hair that worked out of the dreads which adds to the craziness. I have pretty much went into ignore mode. I just don’t have the time to think about it. One of the things I have found frustrating is that I started out combing and twisting into thicker, chunky dreads and they just came loose and formed smaller, skinner dreads.
Oh well.
I am learning more with this round that I did even before which is just to let go, let go, let go. It’s not even a hairstyle for me anymore. It just is my hair.

I’ve wondered about the purpose behind dreadlocks for a while now, so I clicked on your “dreadlocks” tag and read your past posts about it. Your husband is officially amazing, and I love what you’ve said about this journey.
And your 8-month old dreads look great. 🙂
