Well, my dreads are about 4 years old (dec 5 they will be), neglect method, they are damn good looking, but a very well paying job has almost fallen into my lap, which would require me to cut them *gasp!* Will post pics for yas later so ya can see the progress (if ya remember me! havent been here in a while) My heart aches at the thought of cutting my babies off... really sucks! dont think i'll ever get the chance to grow em out again because my hair is super thin and my receding hairline is, well, receding lol. Give me some encouragement to help me thru these dark times!
yah I agree with purp I'd l0‹20‹2k ridiculous with dreads with the way my hair line is now. Getting older does have its advantages balding is not one. Just hold onto the memories man.
Just Got To Chip In Here With My 2 Cents Worth Since I Am In The Very Position The OP Describes.... I Have Very Fine Hair Which Is Receding, And I Started My Natural Dreads Three Years Ago At The Very Young Age Of 62. I Am Now 65 And I Will Admit They Are Nowhere Near What A 20 Somethings Dreads Look Like, And I Never Expected They Would, But I Am %100 Happy And Have Had Lots Of Compliments, Some From Conservative Peeps Who I Thought Would Turn Their Noses Up At Me.... Cheers Glen.
.....said the other 21 year old. As it relates to me, I just am who I am, I don't try to impress anyone.... sometimes I do catch my self, but in the habitual modern sense, I've mostly put that kind of thought to rest. So..... yeah, I'd lock again. I mean, I've been growing my facial hair with no trimming or anything for a year, and have a blond moustache and sideburns like a quarter inch long and mostly invisible, and 3+ inches of red goatee.... do you REALLY think a receeding hairline would stop me from growing my hair if I so desired?
yeah your hair looks like you put allot of effort into it. oh dear.....its not just the hair ...its a symbol...something that socially orientates one to a digree. umm you sure they got to go..you cant find a different job? ooooo as far as receading hairline goes i think for a guy its like a real psychological thing to loose one hair.im 58 my hair as changes allot over years . when i was young i had thick wavy hair right down to my middle back....i miss that .today i have real short hair....its all change i guess. the world of the relitive.oh im just thinking out loud. but yeah there are allot of creative things you could do with your head. i knew a guy who would shave his head and work on getting his entire scalp covered with an ongoing tat project. oh man i use to look great when his hair was aboit 1/4 inch long and you could see the scalp through the hair. yeah try a different vector of creativity. pardon spelling..i know its not good. cheers ink8290
I was going to say something along the lines of this. Plus you got a chance to better your current situation and get ya hands on some more scrilla. Get that! At least you can say at one point in your life you had gnarly ass 4 year old dreads.
true that. thank you guys! Still have the hair, still waiting on whats up with that job. now i just need to stop smoking herb every few days and be able to pee clean. typical dreadhead problems eh? we'll see what happens. it IS only hair
years ago before i moved away i had long hair. moved to florida, and my short hair looked real good though. but i alwayz missed my hair, so i went back to cali for a year and grew it out again, and i have long hair again. you'll miss them dude. think about it before you do anything
lol no i had a job here, and shit. so i quit and went to cali to see my friends. i was already gonna grow it out anywayz. but there i couldnt get a haircut anywayz as i was living in the mendocino headlands. my friend was living in a van, and then he moved out of the bum trailer park where we stayed. and he stayed in ft bragg, and i went to the village. in other words: i was a homeless hippie dude
looks like im not gunna be gettin that job... makes life easier but makes life with less money. hah, happiness>money anyways! The dreads will not fade away. whew. on a side note, i had a crazy hard trip the other night full of a few different insane amounts of substances, came to terms that i was dying and being reborn, and was trying to rip my dreads out with my hands because i was so freaking hot and uncomfortable. thank god i didnt see any scissors laying around because that would have happend. it was a weeeiirrddd night and idk if my mind will ever recover from that... shit happens when ya party naked. dreads are still here tho and woke up with a beer bottle cap bent around one of my dreads... think ima leave it there to keep me grounded if i ever start to lose it. that has nothing to do with anything, but i felt like sharing anyways.
