Well, it's true. I no longer have the dreads. I really struggled with the decision to take them out because I loved them so much. I didn't have an epiphany or feel guilt or unrighteous about having them, No, not at all. I just couldn't keep them up like I wanted to. Long dreads and tough. My dreads started to get grossly matted together in the back and it was just not cute anymore and required a lot of TLC. Seriously, who knew? So I started the long dread lock removal process.
With a little bit of this...
A LOT of this...
And ever MORE of this...
I was able to look normal again.
Luckily my hair wasn't too damaged and I didn't have to shave my head like I had initially thought I would. It took me a total of 3 weeks to get them all out. Each dread lock took an average of an hour to comb out and that hair ball up there was what I took out PER dread. SO gross. The best part was washing my hair and actually being able to brush it. It was heaven!
Many people have asked me if I would ever do it again.
My response, ABSOLUTELY!

Who would've thought dread upkeep would be so much? You kind of get the impression that it would be so much easier. :) You look fabulous both ways... and why would you feel unrighteous?? Glad you don't. ;) Anyway, if I pulled out that much hair in hairballs, I wouldn't have any left.
You are gorgeous and I'm amazed at how fab your hair looks after ripping out that much hair. It kind of not fair!
You look cute both ways!
