So, I've been going through a lot lately. Had some pretty major financial struggles for a few weeks. And after visiting the doctor on Wednesday and finding out that there is a possibility I might still need to go through radiation, I'm kind of in a low place.
Usually when I'm down, my go to is to change my hair. I've always been SO self conscious of my hair. It's never long enough or pretty enough for me. It's something that plagues me on a day to day basis, and for some reason I get temporary relief when I throw a new color into it.... So I was thinking of what color to do this time. Should I do blue? Green? Or maybe go back to pink??
Then out of the blue it just kind of hit me. Now would be the perfect time to start my dread journey all over again.
I had dreads a few years back. They were awful and I never took care of them. I also didn't section them so some fell in my face at all times, and I just wasn't happy with them. I had them for 6 months and then brushed them out.
Last night, my husband helped me section off the bottom 3 layers of my hair and I started those dreads. Twist and rip method with a little bit of backcombing. I feel a little goofy right now because I need his help to section my hair and he will be working all day, so I'm stuck with partial dreads. But I'm going to have him help me do the rest when he gets home tonight!
I know this is probably super random and some of you might not like the fact that I decided to go back to dreads, but I needed to do this for me. I'm going through a "finding myself" phase again, and this seems like the perfect way for me to find myself.
