Hair
It started when I began searching YouTube for Sarah Jessica Parker hair tutorials. You see, I feel like I'm finally old enough to property wield a curling iron and my hair is the prettiest it's ever been - so I may as well develop proper techniques for fixing it up. But instead of falling down the rabbit hole of how to obtain Botticelli curls I stumbled across a cute Scandinavian girl sharing how-to dread tutorials.
I was intrigued. So I started by twisting and ripping one section of hair behind my ear. It was subtle and cute. So I did another. And another. I hadn't convinced myself that I was actually dreading my hair until it was too late. I briefly mourned my SJP hair fantasies and embraced my inner warrior who most definitely does not have perfect Carrie Bradshaw hair.
On a somewhat related note, I recently determined that I really love working for myself. And that I do my best work for clients who love what I've got to offer - which I've been told is a crazy-creative-tell-you-what's-what style (with a well-designed cherry on top).
So maybe the dreads are kind of a declaration of a do-what-you-want kind of independence. But really, more than anything, it's a 'do that will serve me well in the post-apocalypse.
I love your dreads. A declaration of style independence!
I have always wanted to dread my hair but mine doesn't really seem like the type that would work out all that well. Yours looks fantastic though!
Love this! Go inner warrior :)
I love this so much, I only wish I were as daring. I'm working on it though.
It looks great! Is it permanent?
I'd love if you linked to the tutorial...
I've had dreadlocks for ten+ years. Best hairstyle ever - easy to care for, but super festive. Surprisingly easy to make look relatively conservative when needed (I *do* have a real job). Check it:

Have fun! Go be you!
Thanks you all! I'm pretty excited about it.
Lady Teacups - The dreads are permanent-ish. I plan on having them for a while, I suppose.

Lady Cardigan - Oh, I'll check it out! I have a real job too! I happen to be my own boss.
I just have to say you are amesomely bad ass.
I'm really loving this look. And I need to find a way to dye my hair post-apocalypse -- because I'm not willing to let my red go.
Brandi - Blood.
Comment on my comment - yes yes of course you have a real job. That's what I meant! As in, "like you, I have to meet folks and be professional and my dreads are totes fine."
Carry on!
