6 year Dreadies!

 My dreadies are 6 years old now!

Can't believe it. I remember the day I was going 

to get them done. 

I was a little nervous but so ready. 

I had come to the realization that 

"its just hair" "if it isn't working then I'll 

just get rid of them" and "ya only live once."

My midwife and a friend did them for me. 

Starting them did not take long but

getting them to the point where

I actually liked the way they looked

to quite a while. 

Probably 2 years. That's the thing with dreads 

you have to be patient. They have a mind of their own.

I absolutley love them now. They 

are getting quite long but it 

doesn't bother me. 

Ok so the top 5 questions I get asked.

Do you wash them?-YES, just not every day

 Is that your real hair?-YES

Are they heavy?-Only when wet

How long does it take to get your hair like that?-a while

Do you have to cut them off when you are done with them?-YUP

Another question is how long am I going to keep 

them for. And the answer to that is 

I have no idea. 

No plans to cut them any time soon. 

Here are a few pics from the journey.

The day I was going to get dreads!!

 6 year dreadies! Wohoo!

I always wanted hair down to my butt and could never

let it grow that long. Now I have dreadies

that are almost there. 

And now my hubby has dreadies!!

His are about 7 months old! Ain't he cute. :)
