i've been asked several times lately if i was growing out my dreads - which made me realise hmmm...! might be time for some maintenance on these bad boys - last time i had them 'done' (loose hairs crocheted back in) was in thailand, and that was sadly a long long time ago! luckily i have a dreadie friend here in perth who knew of a place to go - so off we went on a child-free day out to weirdsistas in freo (where else?!!) to get our locks tamed :)
i really should have taken a before and after shot...they are so much prettier now i feel like a new gal!
after our scalps had been twisted and tightened, we set off to this place for some yum-yums...
which included this and a tofu burger that was too delicious to take a photo of (=starving pregnant woman could not pause for a moment before biting into the goodness)
it was a very lovey day!
(if you live in perth and want some sweet dreadies of your own make sure you check out the weirdsistas, they were awesome and much gentler on the ol' head than those thai boys!)

I randomly came across your blog tonight and was enjoying your entries when I saw you are LDS. Love it!!! It makes me so happy when stuff like that happens.

I am intrigued to know the reason for dreads.

I love me some dreads. I had them for a short while, but as they grew out they looked awful, and eventually they just kinda slipped out. I wish I'd known of someone to help me to maintain them. Your dreads are beautiful.
