neglect dreads
So ....now I'm engaged to the only other dred-head in my tiny little burg-town. We are the oddest looking pair in the Amish Country Creations store or the local grocery-mart. I love it. Drew is sort of apathetic about it.
Which leads me to my point in today's blog...
We have very different dread strategies.
I got dreads partially because I am a reaction-junkie and I love stirring things up a little. And I'm just egocentric enough to love the attention, even when it's negative. Drew on the other hand has no idea why he got dreads. He just wanted them and never really thought about why. Very much like a normal person I suppose. (ask yourself...why is YOUR hair the way YOU'VE done it...)
Our strategies are different too.
I use dread wax at least monthly, and I use my crochet hook to tighten up roots slightly more often. I do not however...wash them very often. I've washed them about....twice in the last three months.
Drew does nothing.
and his look dandy.
Part of his strategy is really just a side-effect of his unrealistic expectation that as his fiance, I am meant to be the sole care-taker of his dreads.
No thanks.
I'll work on my own.
But oddly both strategies seem to be working. Which is making me reconsider my own. If doing nothing works just as well as doing lots of tedious things.... welll...maybe I should neglect mine a bit more...
