Gave myself a dreadhawk last night. I love it!!!

My dreads will be 5 years old next month and I was way overdue for a change. For almost a year I’ve been thinking of combing them out for various reasons (mostly to do with comfort and lifestyle) but I still like the look of dreads… so this is the perfect solution for me. It reduced the overall weight, cut my drying time in half, and takes care of all the loose hair around my ears and temples that was too fine to stay knotted but long enough to get in my face and constantly annoy me. :-)
