Haven't had much of that recently. This dreading journey is enormous with the patience, I guess that's good for me. Sometimes I feel all the loose hair on top of my head and I just want to yellllll.... but then I think, this is me. The hair on my head is like me. Just kicking around, doing its thing, getting somewhere in the long run, but I don't know where yet. Enormously frustrating sometimes, but interesting... a month ago was completely different from today. It just keeps getting better... So I guess I'm just reciprocating what everyone here keeps trying to get across. Have patience! It is so worth it.
Thanks so much for posing this. I needed this. I am going on the dread journey myself and can sooo identify with what you're saying. Especially the part about wanting to scream. lol
you are looking at the completely wrong stuff.. dont focus on that negative sides. i get new dreads too.. try looking on the bright sides.. if you see that one of your dreads are really locking up good, its fascination and happyness over the dread that is the trick, and not to be anoyed about all the rest. i wake up every day and look at my dreads until i find one i can say something really good about. usually takes no longer then 30 sec to find something to compliment. allways look at the bright side of life =P
I agree Maereo, I do get frustrated, but I look and feel through my hair and find a nice fat looking one and even though it still has a heap of little loops, I know it will grow into a big mama dread one day and that makes me smile.
I'm actually really enjoying myself it is a fascinating experience, especially more this time, as it's natural. It's difficult, but special, and unique.
It is special and unique, Ollymolly. About a month or so ago, I hated it, I thought wtf have I done, but now I'm just going with it and really enjoying the changes. It feels like a big wooly sheep, only not greasy.
I love love love my dreads! But once in a while I'll just want to chop the little shits right off. I'm with whoever said they'd think "Oh my God...what have I done?!" Especially on a bad hair day when they're all growing together and doing their own thang. But usually I'm in love with them. It is a journey and it is making me a better person, but the road sure is bumpy. Thank God for hats!
I had the same thing, but then BAM 3 years passed just like that, and BAM I got super nice dreads, just forget about them, time flies just like that..!
It's amazing to see the changes. Sometimes I get really surprised to see how easy the hair forms. Some of my dreads have just dreaded all by themselves. To find those on my head makes me smile
