I think--thought?--I'm ready

...to cut off my dreads.

I asked J to buy some conditioner today and planned to cut them off this evening.

Now I'm having second thoughts.

Had the dreads for four years. That's a long time, and yet I told myself I would keep them for at least five.

What to do, what to do?  On the one hand I'm ready for a change and the other, I'm afraid I'll regret it.

Why was it originally important for you to wear them for five years?

Just that I wanted to have them long enough for them to mature.

Turns out, though, that washing one's dreads frequently is the best way to tighten them and getting them looking good, so mine were pretty nice from the first year on.
