Staying Power

A wrote the last post about my hair because I had spent the previous few weeks contemplating combing it out. Part of me thought if I said something that it would tip the scales in favour of keeping them. Alas, my ploy did not work. I spent March 26th to 31st combing out all 44 dreads. I’m a little sad about it, but it did seem like the time for them to go. The plan is to wait 4 or 5 years and redo them, now that I know a lot more about taking care of dreads and how my hair reacts to them. I will be keeping them for at least a year next time, if not longer.

    It seemed like a good amount of time to wait. But I might get impatient and redo them in a couple of years anyway.

    Now that I’ve done them two different ways and seen the results, I’m pretty sure I can do them again using both methods so they would be tight but also neater right from the start.

    They are definitely not gone for good. I think I look better with dreads than without anyway. :p
