the wind blows...my dreads swing

ive been gone a while, busy, tryna make it. but im back! and im doing this post with a fact about Yours Truly! I LOVE DREADS! i always have, i think they are just so pretty when theyre nice and small and neat.
now i know im a warrior for the creamy crack and im honestly not at all on this GoGreenNatural kick but i do sincerely want dreads. not for the natural positivity but more so for the ecentric beauty of them. needless to say im entertaining the idea of locking my hair. but we all know im not up for the BIG CHOP/START FROM SCRATCH nothing against those who had the courage to go for it, its just not a good look for me so i did a little research and found dread extensions...now ive had twists before and i used to think i looked childhish but its all in styling. anywho, when i had twists after an inch of new growth my hair would begin to lock on its own, therefore i know my hair can handle it its just a matter of the first step...
being that my hair is naturally like sheeps ass (strong tight coils, but still soft) ive always had a perm to manage this mane! when consistently done my hair does well with a perm but with out out/in twists my hair grows likie a weed! in all actuality, dreads dont have to be perminent but i know if i do this ill love 'em and be married to the naps!
ive rambled enough...i need your help! leave out your bias on chemicals and processed hair and tell me which style you like best on me, what suits my personality ya kno. im posting pics of me with twists so you can get a general idea of me with locks as i would probably try to keep them crinkled i just think its more feminine and cutesy and also pics of how i wear my hair now.

some times im pretty

i think its important that every woman feels that she is beautiful in some way. ive never been one to brag or gloat, if i do im always joking, but some days i see myself and i have to say it.....im pretty. and i think that comes from being content with me. girls with low self esteem are in some way unhappy with something about themselves. now sure there are things i wanta change, work on, improve etc but do i wanta be someone else...no. i love me. and today i caught myself in a mirror and i thought, hey, im pretty. and it felt good. i wasnt wearing any make-up, i was just plain faced me, like im meant to be. so i encourage you at some point to stop and show yourself some love. youre beautiful.
