Wait for it.....Dreadlocks

Im seriously considering letting my hair naturally dread. Yes I know this sounds crazy but I may just do it. Its a really long process for them to occur on their own but I think Im up for it. Besides its the next best thing to a nose piercing...already had that and this would probably be more in line with the church standards. I just wouldn't want them to be gross so Im reading up on ways to avoid that. That's all
