well guys........ today i chopped off my beloved dreads and i thought i would share the before and after with you. i have had these dreads for almost two years now and they have felt like a part of me.(well actually, they were

) i thought it was a time for change, with summer coming around. Anyways, im going to grow my hair out and do the dread thing again, but this time since i have experience ill make them way better than before!!!!!!!!!

BEFORE:

AFTER THE FIRST INITIAL CUT:

AFTER THE FIRST WASHING OF THE HAIR:

AND THE FINAL PRODUCT:

So tell me, what do you guys think?

Ev!L-aLphA · May 22, 2005, 07:14 AM

i really like the final product

Mrgrimrpr · May 22, 2005, 07:16 AM

Cut your beard into one kick ass goatee! That would look sweet.

Drakon · May 22, 2005, 08:11 AM

You look better with your hair cut, nuG. And I agree, you should shape up your beard and moustache also

Warpy · May 22, 2005, 10:04 AM

Yeah the dreds are better off. I'd go a step shorter on the top though, keep the gottie and beard, trim it so it looks neat and then hit the town with some guys/girls and boggie!

Sandok · May 22, 2005, 10:14 AM

nitrousoxide52 · May 22, 2005, 08:25 PM

You should have done what I did, I used to have long hair, and when I got sick of it I lit it on fire and tried to see how far it would get burnt down, then from there I cut it off. Much more fun than just cutting it off

CDsDontBurn · May 22, 2005, 09:30 PM

i say you look better w/o the dreads. take a pic w/just the gotee.

riles9262 · May 22, 2005, 10:26 PM

The new look is definitely an improvement nug

But I say cut the crap, remove the attachment and shave it all

nuG · May 23, 2005, 05:41 AM

And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you

Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
