Dread addendum.
Saturday, August 18, 2007
Actually, I'm feeling much better about my dreads. After posting my last entry I found a fabulous website called Dread Head HQ which was informative and playful and I bought a couple products to aid in my creation. The site also helped me to realize that this dread thing is indeed a journey, an exploration if you will, that won't just happen or appear - they insisted that dreads are a process. Somehow this relieved the anxiety I was feeling about my hair and I felt encouraged, even slightly empowered.
To top it off, Thursday I went to a swanky nightclub with a girlfriend and saw two other ladies with dreads! I noticed their hair, paid attention to their details and realized that I was right on track, telling hubby: "I am right where I'm supposed to be."
Therefore, for those of you who know me, you may join me in this journey and give any comments you wish. I went out with a different girl for coffee yesterday and although she keeps looking at my hair, she never comments on it. I joked with hubby that I think she's being polite because I now have strangely greasy, dirty, odd-looking hair!
