Many people want dread-locks but are afraid, or weary, due to myths that they hear.. Having dread locks can be a life long commitment, but it doesn't have to be.. Many fine individuals have dreads for only a couple years and decide to take them out ( not shave their heads).. Dreads, unlike those rumors you hear, do indeed come out, It is a process indeed, but non the less it is do-able... Also there are the options of dreading naturally, or not.. I hear a lot of people say "OMG you can't wash your hair!!" NOT TRUE!! Actually most dready heads wash their hair more than non-dreaded people.. Dreading naturally is a beautiful thing, bit it is not the only option! Yes you can get dreads professionally put in.. Having dread-locks, I have found, is having patience, they are never going to be perfect.. That is why they are unique in there own little dready ways.. Some people's hair will tighten fast, some have to work at it.. Everyone is different, and everyone's dreads are different. Yes you can color dreads, a lot of people think you can't dye dread-locks, but just like regular hair you can.. It is a little harder because you are dealing with little sponges, but not impossible! Most people come up to me and say "i love your dreads, but i wouldn't get dreads because i like to change my hair too much" .. You can do more with dreads than people know.. If you have wispy tips you can curl your ends, or straighten them, or whatever! .. Playing with styles and different ways to wear your locks is the fun part! So yes you can do a lot with dreads, like regular hair.. Deciding to dread your hair should be a personal choice, not something you are talked into.. But the rewards are endless indeed! and don't listen to myths you hear!!!
