    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.

    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!

    ^.^ 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?

    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.

    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.
