Hair

For the past seven or so years I have done nothing to my hair. Wash, comb, let grow, cut when irritatingly long, donate, repeat. I loved the ease of that plan but was increasingly bored with the straight flat hair. So Toban and I started talking again about a hairstyle that I have always talked about but never thought I could have… dreadlocks. Well, Portland just happens to be home to the Dread Goddess. Apparently folks travel from around the globe for an appointment because of the type of dreading she does. It is a method originating from Thailand in which your hair is crocheted with a teeny tiny crochet hook. This is what it looked like after one hour. The actual dreading happens over time. At a minimum, this shouldn’t be boring.
