ive wanted to get dreads for a hell of a long time, i was wondering if anyone here is sporting em. (since Mary Jane and dreads go hand in hand) i was wonderin in you could post a pic, and share some of your experiences, how you got em, how easy they are to maintain and just some general info.

i found this but i donno if its worth buying

i know thats not the exact link, but if you go to products then dread kits, its the full kit a little bit down the page.

thanks

My gf's mom is a hair dresser and I asked about it and she says she wont do it for me... made me sad but ya..

i dont have dreadlocks but admire those that do. there just so attractive in a rugged sort of way.

woah, dude, shrink your avatar. and dreads are pretty hard to maintain i think. i used tohave them, but i scrapped them after i figured medium length dreads dont suit white guys.

all hairdressers wont do it, they say its a waste of time unless your of african american decent. soory about the avatar, will do

i've seen dreadlocks on white people look good before.

<white
<had dreadlocks for a couple years.

I cant tell if girls with dreads are really hot or really scary...help me out here.

I'd vote sexy.

Girls with dreads, tattoos, piercings....so fucking hot to me.

it all depends on how they look. most girls look hot, but some like if they ahve dreads that are soo massive it looks like their head is takin a shit then no, thats just nasty

dreadlocks are great.allthough your not getting the point if you got them at a hairdresser. its a rastafari thing and jah is supposed to make your dreads grow, all you need to do is dont use any babylonian practices like combing or washing your hair.

that takes years, and make you lose all your friends. teh reason behind that is if someone with african american hair doesnt comb it or wash it itll dread in like 2 weeks. white people take about 2-3 years depending on hair type, besides thedreads wont be even , tehyll be different sizes and theyll be lumpy

I've had dreadlocks for about a year now. theyre completely natural and just kinda slowly took over my head starting around xmas last year. altho contrary to popular belief Ive always washed my hair atleast twice a week, but i have very thick hair that got harder to comb as it got longer, so it started to dread. i was talking to my old hairdresser (its been about 4 years since my last actual haircut) and he said that shampoo actually makes your hair more likely to dread, as it opens up the folicles and means hair can lock together easily. i dunno tho, it was a while ago.
Id say that i find my dreads pretty easy to maintain. altho they take fucking ages to dry. I don't actually have any pics at the moment, as pretty much everything i own thats electronic is fucked. i'll try at some point tho.

oh also as far as race is concerned, i was born in england, my mum is english and my dad is indian and my dreads took a few months to form completely.

thanks for the info.....but where the hell is my avatar

he said that shampoo actually makes your hair more likely to dread, as it opens up the folicles and means hair can lock together easily. i dunno tho, it was a while ago.

It's true. Shampooing will open up the folicles and make it very easy to tangle...but if you want dreads, skip the conditioner. It smooths your hair out and closes said folicles

On the other hand I've never been really fond of white guys with dreads....

but I can tolerate it...(Jacksparrowjacksparrowjacksparrow) if they've got darker hair..but blonde dreads freak me out :O
