Fare Thee Well, Dreads!

I realize that I never wrote a post about actually getting dreads, but here’s my post about getting rid of them. To summarize, and to use one of my friend’s phrases, taking out dreads hurts like a flaming bitch. I have no idea what that means, I just felt like saying it. Seriously though, it really hurts. It involves a lot of shampoo, conditioner, combs, and a lot of picking apart knots. Some of them have to be cut off. Lots of hair is pulled out in the process. It really hurts.

But nevertheless, my hair is almost dread-free, and no shaving of my scalp was required, as everyone said it would be. Check it out:

The change in the lighting shows how long it took to remove almost all of the dreads. All day. But now I have silky smooth hair again (except for in the back, im still working in that…)
