Anyone here have dreadlocks? I really want some, think i'll try to convince my dad not to disown me if i get some this summer. Im a caucasion female by the way. If anyone here has dreadlocks, or doesnt, Id appreciate any feedback you have on them. If you do, you should tell me how/ when you got them, and post pictures if you want.
Research them first there's a lot of work involved with dreads. I'm gathering a few friends now to help put them in soon, so I'll be sure to let the community know how it goes.
honestly coming from a white boy who's been there and done that... IF YOU'RE WHITE, AND YOUR HAIR ISNT SUPER FRIZZY, YOUR DREADS ARE GONNA LOOK LIKE SHIT FOR ABOUT A YEAR UNTILL THEY MATURE.... there's gonna be a LOT of loose hair. like frizzy hairs that arent part of the dread, and are very difficult to work into the dread.... it just gets really hot and sweaty in the summer especially.. and i know you can keep them clean, and there are shampoos and waxes that will help, but its TRUE that you shouldnt wash them for a month or two after you dread um.... oh, and bees wax is shit... go with some knottyboy waz
Not being racist or sexist but i dont like dreads on white people or women. But dont let my opinion effect ur decision, the way to get that i know of is to get twists or plat ur hair. Then in about a month twist the new growth. I dont no if its the same for white people. But the longer and straighter ur hair, the longer its gonna take to dread And Bees Wax is the shit
Depending on some guys it looks cool but you really have to sort of have the personality to go with it in order to pull them off. On girls I think it makes them look a lot more unappealing/dirty in my honest opinion.
I once entertained the idea of getting dreads, but for me it came down to a cleanliness issue. I can't stand having my hair dirty (and it is very long). I used to work at a college dining hall and it was definately a "green" college so there were lots of people in tye dye and dreads and barefoot, ect. It was very obvious to me (and this happened a LOT) when I saw someone with dreads, wearing north face gear and and driving a volvo that they are POSERS! They think it is cool to have dreads. To me, I just laughed at them, because I know real hippies, and they are not anything like those college dread kids. Just my own experience, not meaning for you to get or not get dreads lol. It just makes me laugh every time I see someone like that because it seems like they are going out of their way to say something.
OOPS I meant except maybe hippies , i dont know any as far as i know, everybody elses dreads are clean
i hope to have dreads in a year or so, and also what color is your hair, because a white girl with light dreads looks better then black dreads, in my opinion anyways
I have hair like this... Click Would that kind of hair style look good with dreads? I have dirty blonde/brown hair. Also, thats not me in the picture.
I've had em for about a year and half yea, they're not perfect but it doesn't matter to me if you want your dreads to be perfect, I suggest going and getting them professionally done. expensive but worth it.
uh a girl i know has them, she had them, but she is doing them again. Looks real cool, cause shes got this scene cut on one side, and shes gonna get dreads on the side. So its like half dreads and half like....uh...hair
