So I started my dreadlocks last Thursday. I've been wanting to grow them out for a while now. I used to cut my hair supremely short growing up, and in the last few years I have wanted to grow out my hair. I used to think that I looked better with short hair. Then after a while I got used to longer hair. I realized you can do soo much more with hair than without. Yes, people took notice. Yes, I didn't mind the attention but also I liked the aspect of just letting nature take its course. After doing some of my own research, I found that this was the same reason for some religions to have dreadlocks.
My reason for going to dreadlocks is because the afro was too much work to maintain and I'm not that retro. I am not going to do cornrows for the rest of my life because I would look too gangster, which is one thing I am not. Dreads, like me, are simple, they require patience, and you can still have a lot of fun with them. Another good book to read on is Dreads.
