This is where I'm outlining the progress of my dreadlocks from day one. When I was doing research about dreads in the months before I actually did it, I had very little luck finding a site where people consistently posted pictures of the evolution of their dreads. I decided to start my own!

Thanks for following my dreadventure! I’ll still post pictures as they continue to get older.
Happy Birthday, Dreads!!!
They’re 1 year old today!!! I can’t believe it’s been a whole year. So much has changed! I love them so much, and now that they’re a year old I feel like I can finally really enjoy having dreads because they’re all grown up! They’ve changed a whole lot and they’re awesome. I would encourage all of you to get dreads if you think you’d be interested. They’re a crazy process and they teach you a lot about yourself.
11 months & 27 days. I bleached a few of them yesterday and this weekend I’m gonna dye them some crazy colours. I can’t believe they’re almost a year old!
Here’s a picture taken with a real camera instead of my crappy webcam. This gives you a better look at the texture and details of my hair.
10 months & 21 days. I have a lot of “normal” straight hair that has grown between basically all of my dreads. I’ve started trying to make some new tiny dreads but it’s hard because the hair is so soft and smooth and it doesn’t wanna lock up! I’m going to keep trying and hopefully I’ll have a bunch of new baby dreads soon.
10 months & 1 day. Poor quality picture but I’m going to NYC tonight for a concert so there will probably be some nicer pictures by tomorrow!!!
9 months & 23 days. I hope everybody had a good Halloween! I did. I tied my dreads up all crazy last night to go with my costume. I basically twirled them up until they were like mini Princess Leia buns and secured them with tiny rubber bands. A few of the dreads on the top I just tied together in knots. It was fun!
