Hello all, my names Mandy I'm 24 looking for some help, I don't currently have dreads but I have wanted them since I was about 12 but I keep putting it off as I'm not sure they will suit me! How much hair length would I lose when I dread? Also I need to have 'neat' dreads for my work what would be the best method for this?
welcome u will lose at least 1/2 the length maybe mor e by the time its dreaded and no you do not need neat dreads for work
thats a myth in fact heres the truth
if you make your dreads neat by unatural means then they can tell u to curt them and u have no legal deffence
if your dreads are natural and have a spiritual or religios meaning to you (does not mean u have to be rasta) then they cannot ake you cut cover maintain or so anything
by making them neat you screw yourself out of your only legal deffence
now let me explain what neat means in an office
nicely styled or tied back out of the way
thats it (and clean no stench)
now a salon defines neat differently
perfect uniformity perfectly free of any loose hairs the roots tighyened to an u[-insane degree thats actauly making u go bald
caked in wak oe ]r crochetted till theyre very weak
oh and..not washed at all not even let water touch them for the 1st full year then only washed once a month when you shell out abnother 50 bucks for maintenance
now your probly not going to want to go natural (which is the bet way by far) because natural dreadu=ing does ghabe an early messy stage (which is beautiful ..organic.,..but might not be ok in a court setting or if your a tv reporter or something) so twist n rips a better option
however you still will go through a messy stage
only ways to avoid thiis is to realllly nmess up yoir dreads and prevent them from dreading right
styling..tying them back
covering them
thats all u gotta do to look work appropriate through the wild stages
