mannn idk if i could do that!! im ganna have to wait until they are hittin the floor i think., Im wayy to attatched to my dreadies haha but i bet it feels amazing!!! much luv
Crazyness! Such big changes like that are beautiful I think, and you look really beautiful (also looked very beautiful with the dreads) But ya, must feel sooo light.
Awww thanks, you guys, for all your comments/support/questions. It feels AMAZING, and even though I miss them, I'm not looking back. And to answer your questions, there were quite a few reasons I cut them off. For one, I felt that my dreads represented everything from my past. I've had so many memories and different things happen, in the course of those 4 years, both good and bad, and I felt like it was time to let go of it all, and start fresh. Especially since I've entered a new stage in my life, with moving to a new place, and starting new journeys and all. Another reason being, as forest420 said, I felt really attached to them, and in an almost Buddhist fashion, decided it would be a great stage in my personal evolution to cut them off as a way to free myself from things I'm attached to. And I'm not saying it's bad to be attached to your dreads, quite the opposite. I'm very attached to mine, even still, which is why I've decided to keep them, and not throw them away. I just felt like I was holding myself back from truly growing as a person, by holding on to things from my past, you know? Another reason being, it was just time for a change of hairstyle. 4 years is a long time to have one hair style, and I'd been thinking alot about it, and it had really been pestering me. So I decided it was a good idea to cut it, and try something new. And yeah, man, it feels SO fucking light, and SO fucking great. I'm really happy with my decision. Love and Light
No way, I kept them. Right now, they're just sitting on the desk in my room, bound together with a hair tie, heh.
Oh me oh my! Thats wicked sad to me ~ why is everyone cutting their damn dreads lately!! You have good reasons but its sad just the same.........
i met a girl who cut hers off and put them in this frame thing with the dates and hung them up... seemed like a pretty cool idea.
Haha, well, I'm definetly keeping them for sure...dunno if I'll frame them, though. Just gunna have them around to remember them by. Good times were had, while they lasted. To all the sad dreadheads: there's more to life than dreadlocks. I never used to think so, but eventually one day I came around. And if any of you decide to keep them for life...well, good on you. But I've known for quite some time that it wasn't the case with me. I was just waiting for the right time to do it, and finally that day came. It was more happy than sad, and I don't look back. Maybe you'll all reach that point, one day, maybe you won't. Either way, it's all good.
Aw, too cute! Must've been liberating. I knew this guy who kept his on a shelf in a ziplock. i always thought that disgusting, but now I'm starting to understand a lil.
hehee...my friend who had the most beautiful dreads for 5 years keeps his in a drawer and pulls them out for me when i come over. I'm going to take a tiny one of his and sew it into mine. I think that's a cool thing to do with old dreads....give some to people you really care about so they can stitch them into their own dreads. Maybe its gross though...lol...i'm not sure...... my friend and i are madly in love with each other, so it sounds wonderful to me hehe
