Dreadlocks are a spiritual journey… they are grown from the roots…. hair dreads naturally.

I decided to let my hair dread up because when i was younger i had a vision of myself in my late forties and it was long and curly but in a weird way… growing up in montana, dreads were something either very dirty people or Rastafarian’s did and nothing i would do… so in the vision of my ‘older’ self i saw what i understood… One day, after studying many ancient teachings, finding my own way and knowing many people who let their hair dread and understanding it was a very spiritual journey, i understood why my hair looked the way it looked… it was long and dreaded into beautiful curly/wavy dreadlocks.

I started my dreads in July of 2012 with a friend who very lovinly backcombed my hair… over the next two months they fell completely out and in September i started twisting and ripping and some backcombing on my own, taking about two weeks to finish my whole head.. i have a rare condition which causes lumps and pain in fat/joints/muscles… so it was a long and sometimes painful process but for me, it was a journey of love and awareness.

today they are about 5 months and in the last five months i’ve had some experiences i never figured i’d have and they are unravelng and raveling back up and as long as i continue to practice the lessons of dreadlocks… for one.. letting go of control… i will continue to evolve as my dreads evolve.

I have noticed them becoming looser only to feel as tho they are becoming more dred like.

one love, sophie
