I got a dread perm 5 weeks ago. I'm a registered nurse and my job said I could get dreads but they had to be a little presentable. Any way I found this site a couple weeks ago and am really worried about my dreads now. Just wanna know if anyone did something similar and how did things turn out? Im supposed to go for maintenance soon but am thinking of just leaving them alone.By the way can't figure out how to upload pics. Using my iPhone to post.

Has anyone got a dread perm and have good locks now?
dread perms are the worse but not always a total disaster emily on here had 1 and though the textures a lik weird thy turned out ok
absolutely do not go back ever
does tge hair seem fro[ied? brittle?
1 would never recomend bleaching them or maybe not even dying as the chemical damage is already bad eniugh
all u can do is treat em good and hope for the best
your job legaly canttell you they have to be pressentable

They feel dry but not brittle. They told me to use wax, but common sense stopped me from that. I'm half Asian n half white and honestly didn't think my hair could dread on its own.Also u mention the texture will be different. What is the difference people are mentioning when they say they cut the perm part out later?
its hard to describe byt easy to see
and tge fastest i ever saw hair dread was asain hair! aain ghairs not hard ti dread at all
in fact the longest dread ever was asain ..vietnameses to be exact and the longest dreaded mustache as well was asain
as they grow out u will notice a texture diferenxe tho
like if you perm regular hair it changes the exture
