I shall start by introducing myself, I'm Alexandra and I currently have one dread...yes, one. But that gets me to the advice part! I only have one dread because 1. all of my hair is pink and 2. because it's slightly damaged from the bleaching from black to really light blonde to pink. It's been a little over a month since I dyed my hair, and actually it's pretty soft now, no longer frizzy, though I do have quite a collection of split ends. Anyway I did my first dread a couple weeks ago, as a sort of experiment to see what it would look like and how my hair would handle it after being chemically burned. So far so good... though a bit frizzy with broken hair and sort of dry but I'm taking care of the dryness with aloe (I've heard that's good). I really am keen on a full head of dreads, but I'm very hesitant after all the harm my hair has thus far endured. Gradually my hair is getting stronger because I've been using some great products, and having pinkish-red dreads wouldn't bother me, I think they'd look rad. But, is it unwise to start dreads with slightly damaged hair? I've read that it is. I'd like some more input though
Hope I made some sense... and placed this in the rightcategory? I'm shit with forums :')
