Why is hair so important?

My dreadlocks are changing. I was struggling with a few narrow ones along my hairline that really pulled.
I still love dreadlocks but I have favourites and some I really did not like! All their own characters and lumps and bumps. Great during a summer on the road. Then the weather started getting colder it took much longer to dry.
I was really worried when the ends started to break off some of them! In fact, it felt shorter than when it began in July 2010.
So, I unpicked the uncomfortable ones that had begun to hurt. The relief.
A few weeks passed, I decided the ones I didn't like had to go. Different style.
So a few more came loose. The process is a bit painful and takes a long time. Each took between 20 minutes and an hour to unlock. I covered them with conditioner, then untied and combed, losing handfuls of hair.
Next the scissors came out and I added a layered fringe to frame my face and stop the slick-over.
I now have 9 dreadlocks dotted around my head. I don't know if they'll stay or go yet. I might add more thicker dreadlocks, I might shave my head on one side, or crop it completely! I just like having the freedom to do what I want with it. Perhaps raise more funds for Downs Syndrome or another charity in the New Year.
