So guys, I'm new here obviously. I'm about to embark on the infamous dreadlocks journey. This will be my second set, the first set I cut off for no particular reason. I just wanted a change but I vowed I'd grow them back as it's really the ONLY style of hair that I love. That said, my first set was completely natural ala "free form". I greatly enjoyed them but found that I had the one I named the pillow as it was fat and flat from me sleeping on it, haha. It's the only one I felt self conscious about. I had them for about 3 years down to chest length...
Fast forward to the present and this time I'm considering the T&R method just because I'd like to form my own sections and have a tiny bit of control over that aspect. But also because I'm really considering the idea of the next level dread i.e...the DREADHAWK. I'm keen on this idea because I love having the shaved sides for the air flow to my scalp and that sleek look you get. Not that I'm being shallow but I just like the better on me not neccessarily everyone. I'm having a super hard time deciding though as shaving the sides will mean more maintenance, I'm also considering a complete undercut but I'm just undecided. I think the dreadhawk would suit my style and myself the most. But anyways, just introducing myself...
Other than loving dreads my hobbies include music, I play guitar and fiddle, I'm a writer, I'm fairly tattooed and I collect tarantulas, I'm outdoorsy and love to hike and travel, I'm a beer lover and a fan of Colorado cannabis. In fact I'm thinking about moving! Anyways, just saying hi and trying to get others opinions and experience on dreadhawks! Thanks! PS. It'll be a while as I don't have the length, 2imches up too but short on the sides and back.

Hi there, sounds like you have a good handle on what you want. Dread hawks are cool. I've never gone for one myself, but it's a good look.

Yeah, just nervous about shaving the sides and making them even along with wondering how much I should take off the back before I or if I should leave the back completely alone. Just a lot of pondering!
