    well i had about 6 inches when i cut them off, so almost enough to put back. i thought it wouldnt be a big deal cutting them, it was summer, and they were heavy and hot... i thought i was ready until they werent there anymore! it was a lot of work getting them started ( i started dreading with hair already to my waist). at first i used wax, but that was a big mess, so then i just let 'em run free. they were awesome- and thats why im excited to start all over again, locking them was half the fun. im an artist, so my hair was like an art project. on my head. all the time. sweeet. :)

    awesome!
    I would feel the exact same way about instantly missing them. I don't think I would cut for anything... I once had a dream that I brushed them out and had beautiful long hair.... when I woke up I was so relieved that I still had dreads... even over having beautiful long hair. I love my dreadlocks so much more, and sharing them here and getting compliments makes me love them that much better!
    Welcome to the site, and I'm going to enjoy your journey! keep sharing with us okay :)
