Yesterday Ali decided it was time for the dreads to go. Her hair is so straight and fine and after a great run of six weeks, it just started breaking at the roots. People have asked often how one goes about getting rid of dreads. Well, there are two methods. One can take the clippers and shave one's head bald. The other option is to cut the hair to about three inches in length and spend time washing and combing it out.
Ali decided to go with option one. Most girls I know would just as soon poke a sharp stick in their eye as shave their head. And I'm right up there on that list of needing my hair. But I am amazed and proud as can be of my little girl who has the confidence to stand strong and march to the beat of a different drummer.
We are working hard to teach her that beauty comes from within and by God, I think she listened to something her parents said!!! So rock on, Ali! Mom and Dad are so proud of our strong, beautiful daughter!

All my love.
