Hello. I have been wanting to get dreads for a long time, specifically dreads like the ones in this video (the guy with the brown dreads). Most people I see with dreads and all the dread tutorials I have seen have people with very different dreads. I want dreads that are thick and move around naturally like in the video. How should I grow my hair beforehand and how do I go about getting dreads like those? I have really thick wavy hair that is hard to style so would that be a factor?
Fucking hell, warn people befor you link to ICP videos, I need to clean the fuck out my computer now. Just stop combing is the short answer to your question(s) The slightly longer one is go read the FAQ at the top of the forum.
you might want dreads like his but thats not the way dreads work, if you decide to go for it they will be whatever way they wanna be
Like STD's. At first, they're not noticeable then, *WHAM* everyone's all like Ewww WTF? and then you don't get laid.
Idk, see my hair is naturally straight/wavy. Its really soft, and my hair is short. I found not combing it for awhile and just washing it is good prep so your hair isn't as maintained. Now I just section it once in awhile by backcombing but mostly just let it do it's own thing. I'm pretty lazy so..perfect. There this girl in my art class who is really motivating. She's had hers for about 6 or 7 years and when she first started her hair was shorter then mine. I don't have much of an attention span and like to do crazy things with my hair like dye it pink but I know this is what I want so I just focus. I also really love just rolling out of bed in the morning and getting my ass to my college instead of spending like 30 minutes straightening it. Big change. I love my fuzzy sections ... no wax just love.
