but it's something i've wanted to do for a very long time!
as most of you know, i really hate my hair...
so i figured, i really don't have anything to lose.
i've wanted dreads for a very long time.
for many years joking with my (very conservative) husband that i was going to get them.
i finally got up the nerve to talk more seriously, research them and make an appt.
and voilá!
i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them.
i know not everyone does.
yes, i will have to cut my hair fairly short to get rid of them.
i'm okay with that.
the winner to that last giveaway goes to....

oh michelle!!!!! they are awesome!
i have a deep secret desire to have them too.
i have a whole other life i would have lead if this one wasn't here......i would have dreads.....i would be all natural.....i would garden......i would have used cloth diapers.....i would live in the country.....and i wouldn't wear make-up......i would carry my babies in slings.......i'd learn to play guitar.
but that is not how it came to be.
i am happy but i think about those things.
YOUR dreads are so great.
love them.
LOOOOOOOVE them.

If you get tired of your dreads and something tells me you will....try a pixie cut...it would look great on you and it is so so easy to take care of and your hair will always look good because it is that easy. And you can always play with the color of it if you still feel the need for more funkiness!
