Hello! My name is Caitlin and I have had my dreadlocks for a year and three months. I am about to turn 23 and am a part-time student. I work full-time as Creative Director and Vice President for Tropic Life Candles.
Born and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, I moved to Virginia Beach at 19 and then further down south to the west coast of Florida at 20. I have been in Tierra Verde for the past three years, while I attend USFSP to finish the communication degree I started at the University of Maryland in 2010. This blog began as a project for my Introduction to Blogging class in the fall semester 2015. When I moved to Florida, dreadlocks intrigued me as solution to battling the humidity that made my hair go crazy. I have loved the short-prep time in the mornings, especially the look of a dread-bun. It's an eye-opening experience, as I've seen the processes of care and affection that go into locking hair. It's a beautiful journey, except when you have that nightmare where one falls out. |
