    i have a really stupid question, and you all are going to laugh at me probably, but bear with me...
    i thought i read somewhere that it is possible to have temporary dreads...something to do with honey.. i dont know.
    is it possible to have temp dreads? id get the real deal, but my problem being that i need my job and dont allow it. :( and im sort of afraid of shaving my head. (personal reasons)

    You could have dread extensions, sort of like cyber-goth's. Usually they're bright and colorful but you could make some natural looking ones. I'm not sure how they would attach in normal hair, maybe someone else knows?

    I would stay away from putting honey in your hair..!!!

    I think the extensions are knotted/braided into your real hair.

    If you want them to look real, try those 'real looking fake dreads' ;)

    braiding was one of my options, but the hair around the base of the braids get terribly knotted. :( ive tried it unsuccessfully-hurt like hell tryin to comb all of the gnarly knots out!
