So, I finally reached waist length a few months ago, and started seriously (again) considering dreadlocks. Well, I've now got a stable job, and the dress code says nothing about women's hair other than that it must be clean and not be in the way at work. I can do that with dreads, so I'm set!
Anyway, here's my hair, pre-dreads:http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=3354&pictureid=108245
and as proof, these are the first dreads I've been making:

Since my hair naturally tries to become dreadlocks if I don't brush for a few days, it's very easy to just twist it, then gently back comb a little, and twist some more. No wax, no product, and I feel like if I do need to get rid of them (say when I graduate and need a more professional look), I may be able to comb them out, and cut back to shoulder, as opposed to shaving (which I may do anyway).
So, LHC, I've finally decided, and I'll be sure to post a picture when I have it all done!
