So, im thinking about getting dreads but im still not sure about it.
One, i know everyone in my family would freak.
Two, I dont want to cut my hair real short afterwards.
most likely id be getting extensions but if you think about it its kinda a waste cause if i just grab a chunk of my hair and rub it between my hands i'd pretty much have the start of a dread.
my hairs really curly and thick and like, 2 minutes after im done brushing it it has knots in it again. also, if i get extensions it kinda defeats the purpose of my wanting to get dreads. i want dreads because im so tired of having such a hard time with my hair.

other than the poll, does anyone have any advice about a type of hairstyle that would work with majorly curly hair since im still not sure if ima get the dreads yet?

fyi, ive tried so many different hair straighteners and products its not even funny.
and it takes about 2 hours to straighten my hair which is time i do not have during the school year.

oh! one more thing.
theyd be in a ponytail or something and probably dyed several different colors.
i hate having my hair on my neck and i like colors. C:

I love dreads. They make anyone look sexy(unless they're just too ugly, then it can't be helped xD).
If it's your first time, you should play around a bit. Dreads are time consuming and they need constant taking care of(not to mention washing!). If you do decide to get them, go natural and get them done by someone who knows what they're doing.

They have lots of hair styling ideas.

It REALLY depends on the person sporting dreads. I've seen them look great on people and I've seen them look terrible on people.

Not opposed though, at all.

If you think youd look right with them, i'd do it.
But i think there cool.
What kind are you going to do? not like fake or real, i mean like "fluffy" or "rubberband"? because if you have medium length hair "rubberband" would look cool, but if you have long length "fluffy" would look good. But they both look good with medium or long hair, they just look better with the ones i put them with imo.

[fluffy]
[rubberband]

definately fluffy.
rubberband just looks wierd.
and plus, i have longer hair.

Dreads are really cool if done correctly and taken care of properly.
But, it is also a pretty major decision because if you decide you don't want dreads anymore you can salvage some of your hair, but for the most part you'd have to cut it off.

But, I love them. Especially really pretty colorful ones.

Some people that don't take care of them end up looking gross and it makes you feel like you should plug your nose when you walk by them, lol. But for the most part I like them. I have seen some people that look terrible with them (I'd probably be one of these people).

I like it when guys get long dreds and tie it up with a mustache and bushy eyebrows. Kind of gives them the Japanese look. I think it only looks good on Asians though XD black hair ONLY

yea, but i dont like 'em on girls


and i think short dreads are cute

HOLY f**k. I f**king love dreads. You have no idea. They're like the hottest things anyone can ever have. EVER. I'm getting wet just thinking about them...

yuck

I LOVE dreads! Get extensions to be on the safe side. Especially with family. ><

I went through a phase of wanting dreads, but decided against it, very wisely, I think.

I personally think they're pretty cool, but personally couldn't deal with them. For one thing I'd probably lose my job, which would be unfortunate.

If you want them, though, go for it.

dreads are sexy as long as you can keep them neat



i don't either, for some reason guys dreads almost always look neater than girls' idk, but as long as they're neat they look great

well, some people work them and others.... dont. it all depends on your face shape, hair color, hair type, ect.

Are you talking about dread locks? I think those are ew.

But anyways, have you considered chemically straightening your hair? The only downside is that when you do it, your natural hair grows out at the roots so it might look bad once your hair grows out again. But some people have said that the straightening lasts for a year. Of course it'll probably cost $200+ to do it, if you want it done professionally.

As for hairstyles.. Eh not really, sorry. ;x

I don't have that kind of money.
to be honest, i've never had my hair cut at a salon because i never have any money and my parents are too cheap to pay for me to get my hair cut.

Whoaaaa

wow...

especially that...


i like dreads i got them alot last year but it really does depend on who does them...and i mean i got natural and so did/do my friends but thats us...

I definitely don't think that dreads are a good look on girls. They require A LOT of hard work and maintenance that a lot of people aren't used to doing. If I were you, I would talk to a West Indian person, because they would definitely tell you more about it than we could.

wtf...

aintt blakk ppll noo boutt dreeed.. braadd da beztt mangg..
