Never thought I'd ever be typing this here, but I cut off my dreadies after two years and eight months. Sometimes it's just time to move on. My dreadies were a great journey, but things are changing in my life. I'm moving out to California, I'm going to have a child in November, I'm quitting my job of three years, and I recently graduated from college. It feels liberating and I feel free from a lot of things that were holding me back when I had my locks. Maybe I will partake in the dreadlock journey again, but for now, I'm enjoying my new chapter I'll be visiting still with all my wisdom, but just wanted to share this with everyone in here. Before After cutting them out The new look
Here's what was left over. Ironically, I had 24 dreadies...and I'm 24 years old. 'Twas the time after all.
I know what you mean! I'm going to be cutting off my dreads on June 30, almost a year by one day after starting my dread journey. Your new look looks great!
DancerAnnie... I am crying , my hubby came in and asked me if I was ok. I loved your dreads girl, that's what I hope mine to look like. Good luck hun.
you did look, and still look beautifull. to be honest i wish u didnt do it tough. good luck with all the new stuff happening in your life
Well, I'm thrilled that she did it. She was just at that point in her life where she was ready. Annie, you look amazing. And, I know how liberating it must feel. Congrats on having that much strength and I wish you many blessings on your new journey!
Congratulations! I thought this post might be coming soon, you'd mentioned before that you'd cut them to mark the next chapter in your life... and this is certainly a new chapter! You look radiant, as always, and I'm glad to hear that you and the Mr. have made a comfortable agreement. You seem happy, and that's what's important!
Oh no need to be sad. It was a great journey! And I'm ready to start a new one There is a time in your life for everything...I loved my dreadies, but most of all I love my sanity and I love my future...which is why I've moved on.
