    we did have some1 post bout that awhile ago, from what i remember they were a mess
    its a chemical process isnt it?
    theres a few threads bout it burried i bet..
    logicly to me sounds like itd be a mess
    im sure there were 1 or 2

    basic rule of thumb though,
    when ya get dreads, your not runnin to the salon all the time, so why go there to get dreads?
    your basicly goin there sayin ya know what i dont njeed ya no more and expectin them to give ya the berst way to be free of them..


    get your hair clean..play with it a bit give it time & see what happens
    backcomb if u think u gotta
    dont freakout when its takin its own time and course

    well tbh i wouldnt want a dread perm, all those chemicals can cause serious damage BUT i suppose its a quick way to get your dreads started. Bear in mind that the dread perm will still come undone over time and go fuzzy if u dont maintain it. I mean its basically back combing hair and them dumping chemicals on it to keep it in that position permenantly.

    I tried using it after I had dreads for 2 weeks, they didn't look like dreads, so I tried, but it didn't do a thing :S

    should I feel bad that I don't know what a dread perm is? Prolly not. just followed that link in one of the posts... her hair just looks curly, not at all like dreads. is it just when you perm your hair to make it really really curly, so it will lock up faster?
