im going to be a nurse and im going to have to wear my dreads back to keep em outta my face. My question for all of you is what is the best way to do this? "best" meaning which way wouldnt affect my roots and still allow my hair to dread properly. I saw a guy with matured natural dreads that were down all of his back and he kept a hair tie to wear them back. His hair, above the hair tie, (closest to the scalp) looked almost completely undreaded. is this most likely because he wore a hair tie all the time causing his roots not to move freely? thus not dreading? so should i just tie them back with other dreads when the time comes? or is using a loose headband a better option? would wearing a hair tie while just at work be acceptable to allow my hair to dread/stay dreaded? thanks
