My hair is super thick and wavy and it turns into nasty white person dreadlocks in the underside almost instantly I use so much conditioner but nothing seems to keep it untangled and it just gets more and more damaged from my attempts to brush it . <| sep |> 1978 , the Forbidden Forest area , northwest , Maine . I ' m going to do a 2 day canoe trip all by myself because , I ' m so damn tough . First night , I ' m sitting by the fire , in the middle of nowhere , when all of the sudden the brush starting cracking with THE most unbelievable sound you ' ve ever heard . Whatever it was , it was very , very , big . I sprint down the path , jump into my canoe , and get myself to the middle of the river . The whole time , something is thrashing through the brush . I left ALL my supplies and simply paddled away . the next 24 hours sucked .
