For The Love of Bad Hair Days

On April first my dreadlocks turned one year old. I was gonna throw a party but since we just moved...

















Anyhow, I love them. Its like having a living wild animal attached to my head. Some days it's friendly, some days its angry. They have a mind of their own and a personality separate from mine. You never know what they're gonna do.

You must have somewhat thick skin for this particular hair way of life(not so much a style) as you look really stupid the first month or so and then on and off from then on out.
Although in retrospect I can't imagine the hair looking stupider than the scarf I wore to work the first week. About the third time my boss asked me to tell his fortune I'd had it. The hair came out.

So a big hug and thanks to Janet for spending all day teasing my hair and drinking martinis! Another big hug for elex. Thank you for documenting this day. I love you Both!

Lovely

Happy birthday to your dreads! I love the picture where just one is standing up. I've got one of those that frames my face, and sometimes, I'm a unicorn.

Do you have a recent picture?
