To Dred or Not To Dred was the question...

If you know me, and many of my readers don't know me personally but if you did you would understand why I came to this decision.

The Background:
The reason I decided to grow my natural hair was because I wanted to try dreads. I think if they are kept up dreads look very nice. But once I saw the amount of information on the Internet on how to care for your natural hair, transitioning or not (thanks to Curly Nikki) I wanted to try styling my natural hair...

Present Tense (literally)
And I did!!! (hence the pictures on previous posts)
However, I didn't know what I was in for.
20 minutes of dry detangling
1 Hour to wash or Co-Wash
4-6 Hours of Conditioning and detangling
1-2 Hours of styling
Overnight or more to dry...

Its getting to be way too much for me!!!
I am sooooooooo low maintenance it's not even funny. And for me, what I just described is out of control!


On Second Hand!
I have to admit that after all of that work that I put in, it is very encouraging to see the end results and to receive all of the compliments on my dooo. But for all of that work, the dooo only last 3-4 days tops...and that is if I am pushing it! There is no changing it up or going to a "easy style" for the day...its a whole ordeal just to make a easy style...

So Getting to the Point:
I am going back to my decision to dread! (I think!)
I will look for someone to start my dreads and see whats the verdict on washing my hair and greasing or oiling my scalp. That is the deciding factor because of my need to wash once a week because of my dry scalp. So this is TO BE CONTINUED!!!
