I was searching through some of my older blog posts the other day, and came across the one where I had just gotten my hair dreaded. It was interesting to me how much my feelings towards my hair has changed just in this one month since they have been done. I was having such a hard time after I first made the change, feeling weird around people, wondering if everyone was staring at my hair, because it was probably poking out at some weird angle. And I realized....I don't really think about it much anymore. And thats been pretty invigorating!! Its just going along doing its thing, and I am going along doing mine, and its just working. Its still wild, crazy and frizzy, dont get me wrong. I just find myself caring less, and relaxing more. I think I am at the point where I am really glad I got them done! I still hardly ever wear them down, especially cause its been in the 90's this last week, but here are some down shots so you can see the changes. They actually look fairly neat right now, I had maintenance done last Friday (all the loose ends and frizzies tucked back where they belong) because we had a family photo shoot with a local photographer. I expect them to be back in full on crazy mode in a couple days :)
Yah for dreadlocks! :)
