So....I have been contimplating this for a while now. I have the worlds worst, rattiest, nappiest, natural hair. I have been making so many changes....one being that I don't POO! It was the best decision I have ever made. I do clean my hair, so PLEASE do not panic.....I do not use the traditional shampoo. My hair has never been healthier, shinier, etc.......the thing is is that I can never settle on a DO! I have been thinking, pondering, and thinking some more. I have settled on dreads. Now, please know that this is not a quick decision...I have looked, researched, thought, Yada, yada, yada.....and I am done thinking and all of the other BS! My hair dreads on it's own daily. I am serious. I have enough hair for 4 people. I am not exagerating.....but, each hair is super thin, and textured. I was adopted, but am convinced that there is some African American in there some where (look at my youngest daughter). I would let my hair dread by itself but it would not be uniform.....so, I have decided to PUT them in. That way they will be clean, and pretty, yeh??? I can't wait, and I hope that my friends will be supportive...if any of you have any words of advice I would appreciate it!!!! Thanks for listening to me go on and on about my HAIR!

YOU ARE SO FRIGGIN COOL!  ARE YOU SERIOUSLY GONNA DO IT!?  - THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!!  I TRIPLE DARE YOU!   You will be the coolest mom in all of Elk Grove.   Hmm, I'm feeling inspired! Maybe I'll get braids or corn-rows.  I had my hair braided in my last month of preggo.  I loved it.

If there is any white mom (should I say caucasian instead?) who could pull off dreads though?  It's you.

big smile miniI VOTE - DO IT! (disclaimer- you may not want to listen to me though- cuz I'm crazy!)  big smile mini

Why not?  Nothing ventured nothing gained!  What's the worst that can happen?  You don't like it and change your mind.  It's only hair!  Go for it!

I have always wanted dreads. In fact I don't brush my hair every day, it's just not necessary to me and well I often look like I just got outta bed which can be a plus. When we go to visit my son in college (humboldt) there are so many people with dreads living up there, I wouldn't be surprised if my son ended up with them. I think it's the coolest thing. So good luck while you transition, and post pics !

I think you should go for it.  I was hoping you had a picture.  Please post a pic when you do it!

I've been thinking of cutting ALL my hair off & donating it, but I've been a little chicken & haven't followed through just yet...
