Congrats on saving your face! At least it didn't seem to have much of an effect on the dreads! Had it been straight, un-dreaded hair, you might not have been so lucky! I'm glad that I've managed to keep my dreads out of trouble so far... I work at a kennel, and am soo careful to keep my dreads wrapped up and out of the way. Last thing I need is for a dog to rear up and get a claw stuck in one of my dreads... ow at the thought...
Now your dreads have a new story and a new bit of personality and uniqueness. Glad you didn't get hurt.
