Thanks for the thoughts! I was already preparing to wear a shemagh in Australia orat leastkeep them wrapped in a scarf. My dreads are pretty skinny for the most part. Most of them are pencil thickness or slightly bigger except for a few. So that will probably help to, I also don't have blunted tips so that should help a lot also.
So I just recently got a new job in Western Australia. I'll be starting in June. I will also be spending a lot of time in Costa Rica near the beach, in the beach, swimming in a pool, etc. In Australia I will be out in the bush most of the time. Working from sun up to sun down in the heat. I will however be able to wash it like I normally do. I'm wondering if spending a lot of time in the heat, sweating, spending long amounts of time in tropical regions and swimming a lot can end up doing bad things to my dreads, in terms of cleanliness. I've heard of things like dread-rot and I'm just wondering whatevery onesthoughts are?
I wish I could have beard dreads! I have native american in me and I think that is the reason why I don't get much facial hair.
