i started my dreads when my hair was just to my shoulders, so shorter than yours is now. the only issue was that i couldnt pull them back in a ponytail. i think doing dreads with layers in your hair actually looks really cool too =) my hair only shrunk about 2 inches or so. i used twist and rip, then id backcomb up the knots and twist and rip some more, and then backcomb, and just repeat that to the end of the dread
hey! i make them andsell them on etsy. i dont have pics of guys tams up, but really theyre just the same as ladies. but yeah, if you want one id make it for you for cheap! just the cost of the yarn. envelope, and shipping!
but! defintely DEFINITELY make sure, if you put extensions in, that you wait til your hair is mature. at least around 8 months to a year. i put mine it at around only one month. they stayed in very well. my real hair just wasnt dreading like it should have been. so, im taking them out, and maybe ill put them back in sometime!
whoa!!! i ordered mine off ebay.....i have a LOT of hair. i got two orders of them, 22" long and only spent about $70. i just had to dread them up myself and i used a crochet hook to put them in. so yeah..definitely look on ebay first!
i dont really know for sure, ive put them around bumps and lumps and flat ones to make them round, and it helps a bit
