Well it was getting REALLY BIG. I mean REALLY BIG. Uncontrollably BIG. (at least a foot to 18 inches long ande in places longer when pulled 'out') SO ... I had enough ... and said lets trim it. So I trimmed the dreads to around a two - four inch length. It looked very cute, but a touch, shall we say, feminine

And I made a mistake of saying ... hmm maybe this is a bit too girly. LOL Super Jock (aka my son) would have nothing of that - he wanted it OFF. LOL so out came dad's razor and VOILA!
I miss his dreads but now son #2 (whose hair is much looser in texture and wont dread in a million years,) wants to try. UGH - here we go again.
