Dreadlocks

My husband may think I've lost my mind.  But I'm beginning a process of finding myself.  I will admit to having some mental instability in my family but I don't think that is what this is about.  But if I am crazy, how would I know anyway, right? 

I've decided to start dreadlocking my hair.  I understand it's a long process, maybe that is what I'm looking for.  Progression with no clear end...  I'm not sure.  I'm living a life that I love.  I have a great husband, three amazing kids who are interesting individuals.  My job gives me a certain freedom and the monetary means to spend time with my family.  We have made some great friends that we adore spending time with.  Life is good. 

I'm not a religous person, but I would consider myself spiritually reflective.  I'm also impatient, so I'm going to try to help the process get started.  I've decided to do a bit of backcombing but not use product (such as wax) to help hold them at first.  This will be an adventure for me but I'm very excited...

  2. Andrea. That's funny. They have undone themselves alot since then. I have such STRAIGHT hair that doesn't like to rat up. I'm just leaving it now to do what it wants. It's a bit of a crazy birds nest right now but I'm going to let it guide on this journey.

    William has been very supportive. I'm sure he still thinks I'm crazy but I think we are both okay with that.
