Help! I'm scared to get dreadss

Okay so I want dreads really bad, but, then when I have to cut them off ><
Should I go for it of not? I don't want to cut off my "hippie/emo hair" but dreads would be so much easier.

 

Don't do it cuz it's easier, cuz trust me...it is NOT easier.

And don't do it if you're even questioning it...because if you're not 100% sure or committed, they won't even get a chance to be tight dreads.

yeah, I was just reading up on them, they seem hard to take care of, but I still really want them

 

go for it i dont think hair makes a hippy it is more on your beliefs and what you can change in this world

 

dreads are no way the easy option. if you don't look after your dreads, they'll end up looking fucking stupid. Plus, they may smell really bad after a while.

 

I was a little nervous before I got mine. I knew I wanted them and all the work that comes with it, and until that one day when i got up and said "I'm dreading my hair today" I held off. One day it felt right and it was my goal that week!

 

And chicks with dreads looks so fucking hot!!!

I'm thinking about getting them too, but gotta grow a bit more hair before I'll do it

 

^.^ thanks, I want them really bad now haha I just don't know what to do with my "emo" bangs... because I part my hair on the side now (even though I'm not emo at all, whatever, I like the haircut) and on one side the bangs slant and cover one eye. Wont that look stupid dreaded, or not?

 

i agree

 

And also..... when you dread does it make your hair shorter? and if it does, how much?

 

Your dreads will get shorter as they knot up...only makes sense because knots make anything shorter. Take a piece of rope, measure it, then make a knot in it...you will see it gets shorter. How much? Depends on the tightness of your dreads. Between about six months and ten months, mine shrunk maybe two or three inches, I'd guess.

 

dreadheadhq.com dude
I would do mine in a heartbeat if my job would let me.

 

oo yay now I get to be sexAY! =O =Pl heh heh

 

I have emo bangs right now with my dreads. I really dig that look. Don't dread 'em. Leave your bangs emo and shaggy. Nobody said you have to dread all your hair. My bangs and stuff around my ears is still straight. I prefer it that way.

If I had a digi camera, I'd show you a picture. Maybe I'll hop over a friend's house and take a few pics.
