im thinkin anout cutting off my dreads... i miss being able to do things with my hair especially dying it. i cant seem to keep the color in especially getting it to penetrate the big fatties. but everytime i pick up a pair of scissors i decide that im too attached to them or ive worked too hard. they seem to look better every day as they get longer and tighter. i think if i do cut them off ill leave some here and there. there is always the possibility of havin a dreadhawk or perhaps a dreadie mullet but i miss when it looked like this:
for me dreads were a means of exercising my patience but i guess i have none. they are a pain in the ass to wash and dry. i suppose i can always do it again but it just takes so long for them to look good. i went though a period of looking like shit and wearing lots of hats and bandanas, which brings up another point: i cant wear any of my old hats because my head is too fat!
call me an attention whore but i always liked all of the reactions i would get when i would do something drastic to change the way i look. i think i get too bored with myself or maybe i just did that to distract myself from whatever bad feelings i was having. so... whatchas think??

I think once you start getting the thought of cutting them off, you'll do it eventually. That's what happened with my husband. He talked about cutting them off and then one day he just did it. You'll know when it's right, they just may have lived their course and it's time for something new!!

Cutting all your hair off is pretty liberating - I say you should go for it!
