i had problems resizing these pics earlier (hence the "whoops..." in my post above), but they´re OK now. i guess they´re still pretty big, but whatever...

R.I.P.
July 24th 2001 - March 31st 2007
and it had been a little over 6 years since i last cut my hair (dec. 2000)




my natural dread scarf. i used to really use this to keep warm when there was cold wind blowing

 

the CDs are there to show scale

 

the curly ends of some dreads



all of my congos (6 out of 11 dreads were congos - not counting the little guys)



the tam i used to wear


my reasons for cutting were that they were getting really heavy, hot, and somewhat smelly. every time i washed, i would get really bad neck and shoulder muscle aches. plus, anytime i bent over or something and they swung out, they´d pull like a motherfucker on my neck. and since some dreads were really dense, they could never really dry properly. i think mold was starting to grow inside a couple. i have absolutely no regrets and i´m happy i did it.

now, i plan on doing what i was doing before, which is nothing. i´m not going to cut my hair again for a long, long time. perhaps i´ll go another 6 years!

 

Haha, woah, crazy! Welcome to the club, dude. You look great.

That was a big issue for me, too, though mine weren't as big as yours yet. I was having bad headaches and my neck and shoulders were sore from holding all that weight. Plus, yeah, I also started to notice them smelling bad, and retaining water and gook.

Anyways, congrats on your decision, man. They were tremendous dreads, but all things must pass. Feels great, hey!?

 

I like your lil disPLAY that you arranged there
You look real good with short hair~*
