I was just wondering what I would need to do

should I use just normal dye or is there something else i could use

I would just use henna but I want something past a natural tone like blue and stuff?

Do not use a felting needle on your dreads. If you would like to use wool roving to colour your dreads use the wet felting method. You palm roll wet soapy wool onto your dreads.One of our members has done this. Anouk? I think. ..Anyway. I repeat. Do not use a felting needle on your dreads.

Yeah, sorry I didn't go into more detail about the reasons why. It was 4am though and I was finally getting sleepy so I was a little abrupt. (And now I'm aaaaalmost going to be sort of late-ish for work...darn internet.)

I'm definitely going to be using the wetfelting method myself once my dreads are mature. It's an excellent way to get some vibrant colours going on your head. I absolutely love the look. I might make some fake dreads in the meantime using a similar method.
