so i just got my dreads removed today and i am shocked my hair is 30 inches shorter than it has ever been. i cried and cried and... cried. i have a very cute cut right now but i am still sad that my dreads are gone and i have a short haircut for the first time in 15 years. it is going to take A LOT of getting used to. has anyone else gone thru cutting off all of theirs hard work? and did they feel the same way?
awwww sweety im sorry to hear that..but since u were using wax maybe it was just meant to be to start over i started mine over once too and yea i felt the same when i cut them..miserable i wore a hat for a year..lol but i started over soon as i could..learned froim my mistakes (never seperated em so had 2 horns and a pillow) and nd time around i knew from day 1 when they weee just 2 inches longthat id have em till they wore off from dragging on the ground... and i've lost between 8 and 24 inches off most from dragging iknow you'll start again without wax this time i hope and they'll last a lifetime till then...hugs..i understand how u feel
awwww, HUGS. i have nightmares where i've cut my dreads off. it's terrible. so i can understand how it would be traumatic.
well i guess i got the change that i wanted.... its bittersweet- my head feels so much lighter at least ( making the best of it )
lol i can imagine..mine are very heavy..i couldnt imagine how much worse if i added extra weight like wax but as long as i get to a choropractor now and then to decompress my spine i dont mind the weight
noy weird ast all when you broke your back and have a 9 degree bend outta shape that makesu in constant pain...plus i dont pay em anbythinmg what do the 2 things got to do with eachother anyway? the 1 is paying for somethong bad for u the other is something good for you.. im not against eatting food because foods good for you..but abusing heroin or alcahol which are piosions im against..
When i cut my last set I cried and cried and swore I'd never do it again so on the journey again but I also have dreams that I either cut them or they just fall out on the pillow disturbing. Hugs to you though it will be allright
my sister cut mine off so close to me head that i had to get the back of my head shaved. i left bangs so that coverd most of the back but i felt so different and weighted 2 pounds less. it sucked cuz i did it a few days before christmas so my head was so cold. it will take some getting used to, but hair grows and you can always start them over again. im so envious of the girls here who have such pretty dreads and do reaqlly cute things with them
well i wasnt planning on cutting my dreads, it was kind of an unfortunate disaster. i had them for a long while and they were all the way down to my buttcrack... so one day i decided i wanted a change and thought it wouldnt be a big deal to comb them out. riiight. so i started a few and did them one at a time, then i counted 74 and said forget this.. so i grabbed a few and tried to comb them all at the same time- that was the BAD decision that ended up in 6in of hair. as a combed the chunks they all knotted up to my scalp. i ended up with one huge nest on top of my head. so i realized i wasnt helping the situation on doing it on my own- i was just making the nest worse, so i went to the only salon open on a sunday. they said it was the worst hair mess they have ever seen. yikes. so 3.5 hours later and 30in shorter, they saved all the hair that they could and i am left with hair i can barely fit into a ponytail. the only thing that saved my hair mess was the fact that there WASENT any wax in the knots. about a month before i started to comb, i stopped using all products- except residue free shampoo- so my dreads were free from all waxes and product. it was somewhat easier to comb out without the "glue" substance that products cause....
well its enough hair to start over natiraly and this time stay away from wax and they'll feel so much better and u wont be tempyerdd to rip your hair out im so sprry you went through all that but its just a new beginning hugs
