hello i am new.
i have been toying with the idea of getting dreads for a few years. i finally brought it up to my mom sometime in june, and she actually wanted me to get them! i didn't really believe her until a few days later when she asked "why don't i see any dreads yet?".
i have sat down on several occasions and started parting my hair, and backcombing the sections, and putting wax in them. but i always chicken out, thinking im doing it wrong, and comb them straight again.
if im going to dread my hair, im going to get as prepared as i can. i want to know the basics beforehand; the process, the aftercare, etc. i've gone to several websites and read stories and instructions.
the only thing is, i chopped my hair off back in may. it somes to the bottom of my chin in front, and is probably only 2 inches in back.
i plan on growing it out for a very long time, i want it at least past my shoulders before i dread it.
so i joined this community to pass the time. then i can learn more about dreads while i wait.
i won't have them professionally done. it will mean more to me if someone close to me or myself does it.
i have spent a good hour reading back entries from this community, and i know i chose a good one to join.
im sure you'll be hearing from me again.
