I think they call dreadlocks (dreads) because you dread doing them!!


So my Husband decided to let his hair grow out, with our daughter until her 2nd birthday. He did it and has went way beyond that date! lol He has always wanted to get dreads. Its usually what alot of Jamacian people wear as a hairstyle, but has been becoming alot more popular in african amercians, and some caucasian people. So I went on the hunt to see where he could get them done at. I found what I thought was a great place to get them done, obviosly I was wrong! They gave him the twisted type of dreads, which will only work on african americans. We payed 100 plus 20 on tip, and 20 on hair products. Only to find out they fell out 2 days later and we were back at scratch!! I searched the internet for hours, and had nothing no one did white people dreads!! lol
So I decided maybe I could do it how hard could it be right? So I looked at videos for about 6 hours to get up the confidence to do it. I knew this would have to be a process. The 1st night I seperated Craig's hair into approx 1 in squares, and that took me 2 hours! I was exhausted.
For the next 8 days every night I would backbrush each dread which took probably 20 min per dread. The whole process took about 18 hours!!!! wow right :0) and the end result looks pretty cool I cant wait to see what they look like when they lock in the next 3 months.
Now thats what you call TRUE LOVE!!! haha
I dont have a picture yet but ill post one as soon as I get it!
