Partial Dreadlocks

Dreadlock Styles and Dread Styling

Ive been having problems with lose hair and dreads on top part of my hair, for months they dont dread well and stay same as they were while bottom ones dread well and change almost everyday. So im thinking of removing top dreadlock what are about 15-20 of 50 dreads i have. Leaving the top hair normal and bottom still dreaded. I dont know if its good idea or not, im getting scared that normal hair will get in the dreadlocks since they will be lose. Anyone have such hairstyle and can give me some advice? I know removing dreads arent good idea but a lot of things happen and im not happy how they look right now.

The Dyeing of the Dreads! What Color Are Yours?

Dreadlock Styles and Dread Styling

I used to bleach my dreads but now i stopped and want to get back normal haircolor, at least in roots. I have dyed my dreads pink and red with cool aid. It took only 2 mins to prepare and few more mins to dye and rinse out. The color is very strong and it goes away in few weeks. I tried washable colors and shampoos, they just arent as good and always end up being orangy red on my dreads. I really want to dye one dread blue, but cant find a color what doesnt make my hair green...

Hello, my name is Erika and im 20 years old. I been having dreads for about 5 months. I had started getting neglected dreadlocks at April last year and they didnt work well, the bottom hair at shoulders were really tight but hair at top of my head were really messy. I was ok with it but then at January i added way too much shampoo that washed out almost all of my dreads. Those who left tight i saved but rest had to comb out. I taught of starting it all neglecting but i saw that with rip and twist i would be able to control the thickness of dreads. Right now my dreads are all loopy and fuzzy. It make me angry cause theres nothing i can do about the lose hairs. My family hates my dreads, my mom bought me comb as a joke for my birthday. My friend said that id be a cute girl if id "fix" my hair. My hair is my freedom, if i lose my locks, it means im losing my freedom from this greedy and selfish world. No way im getting rid of them. I wanted to share some pictures i made. I couldnt make picture of my back.

I have problem with month old dreads.

Help! Save My Dreads

Well most of dreads are made by rip and twist tech, and they looked good first few days. Then they started to become very fluffy. The hair started to come out of dreads. I left it there thinking they will lock in. But they just became worse. I tried use crochet but it work only for few days. I wraped lose hair around dreads and locked them in with crochet and they keep coming out. The neglected dreadlock dont have as much lose hair. Im thinking to start all over again and comb them out. Is there any other way to lock the hair in or i should really start all over.
