Time flies when you’re growing dreads! It’s a little hard to realize that I started these locks 4 years ago today, 5 years really if you count when I stopped cutting my hair, but 4 years from when I went to a salon and had a bunch of fake hair twisted into mine to get the process started. Looking back I would not recommend that method, I wish I would have just had my hair braided and left to lock like I did with a previous batch. But it’s a commitment I made to keep them and look at them now!

When I had them started I had them separated into small sections with hopes that I’d have thinner dreads then I had before, but after a year or so a lot of them combined forces to create stronger thicker dreads and so there’s some interesting forks in them. It’s really interesting to watch as they grow and show signs of time passing like the rings of a tree. I remember when Kelly Orange tightened them up for me with some small hair wraps at the base while she visited us in Costa Rica, and now they’re a good 6″ away from my scalp. So my hair now includes lot of good memories.

Overall I’m very happy with them so far and I’m glad I don’t see any grey hairs sneaking in there yet in my old age. Ye Mon!
