Slightly late 5 week aniversary
That's right on Oct. 30 my 5 week aniversary of my new knotty dreadlocks came around.
If you knew me when I was younger you would probably pass me by on the street and not recognise me at all. No more glasses cause I got contacts and no more military buzzcut hair. I gree it out long the last few years cause I am too lazy to go and get it cut at all. That is remarkably the same reason that I am growing a beard. To much effort to shave every day.
Any way with my long hair you have to brush it or you get some nasty snarls. So I get the bright idea one day when I was bored of dreadlocking my hair so that I don't have to brush it anymore.
Well that is true once you have mature dreadlocks, but that can take 6 months to happen. In the meantime I have to backcomb and tighten each dreadlock so they keep thier knottyness. All 28 of them. I can end up spending 15 minutes backcombing a single dread to make it nice and tight. So I sit at my computer watching anime backcombing my dreads for about one to two hours a day working my way through my dreadlocks. It is hard doing the back ones, so they are kinda pathetic looking and in dire need of attention, but the front and side ones are coming in pretty nice.
I gotta snatch a digital camera and post some before and after pics.
