This is me, 18 hours ago. I dreaded my hair (again!) six weeks ago, and they've been settling in well, with the usual loose hairs, bumps and wanna be dictator dreads that have to be stopped from taking over all the other dreads. If you've had dreads, you'll know what I mean.
Anyways, I was thinking about how to make these deadlines more socially acceptable for my sister's wedding- not that I Care, but I care that she might feel a bit embarrassed if I getup to do a reading looking like a hedgehog. I'm not entirely sure that what I've don't now goes anyway to fixing the issue, but I love it none the less.
Starting about 8 pm last night, I hand rolled some knitting wool into dread pieces and attached them to the stubby ends of my Sideshow Bob-esque dreads. Bye by Bob and hello rainbow!
The first few.
A while later.
Finished, the view from the back.
The end result.
You can see the roots of the real dress sitting in an odd way, but that will rectify itself over the next week or so as they get used to suddenly being heavy and subject to gravity. I miss my spiky hair, but I do love these soft beautiful woolies. Addie is very impressed with mum's "colours", Tiny likes to rub them between her fingers, and Andrew well, he said he's happy that I'm happy, bless him.
