Hmm... Contemplating Dreadlocks

OK... I am seriously contemplating dreadlocks.

I'm really sick of my hair.

That's the main reason I think.

The good will be, that after a time... a couple months or five... I will have a pretty low maintenance style that will definitely grow. It will be a versatile as braids I suppose.

The bad is when I get sick of dreads I'll have to cut them out. And what if people won't hire me for roles because of my dreads. What if I want a role and they require me to have straight hair? (sigh) I dunno...

I went to a couple of websites and Dreadlocks sound good. It's just... would I be limiting myself to a certain type of lifestyle? Will I be saying goodbye to my afropuffs forever? Can I be professional with Dreads? And Dread-lock... how about Happy-lock or Goldi-lock or something. The name is dread-ful.
