Yeah, no I understand where you guys are coming from.... Sister Rags said:

I agree, Makarov. I'm by no means suggesting that dreads aren't for you, Lindsey, I guess I'm just thinking the same thing M. is...that there's a huge difference between natural dreads and "fashion" dreads so you look a certain way. I'm coming from my own experience of being one who played around & was always doing all SORTS of things with my hair. By the time I decided to dread, my inspiration was from inside, from my spirit, I was 45 years old and very sure of my commitment to letting go of hair that was more about society than about my own inner spirit.

Yeah that sounds interesting, I have heard a little about them but not much. Please tell me more! Kris D. said:

Lynsey: after I got rid of my dreads, I was still attached. I knew they wouldn't work for me, so what I did was I went out, got some synthetic hair, and make false dreads out of them. They have a little loop on the end so that you can brain them into your real hair, and secure with a band

If you want to learn more about it, send me a comment or PM, and I can help you out. That way, you can have some temporary dreads to see if they work for you.

You don't even have dreadlocks yet and you're already considering cutting them?
That's just sad. I think you should really think about if dreadlocks are right for you...

ok thank you!by the way yours look great! i want mine like that but maybe a little smaller. Alicia said:

I have read alot about that too haha. I have seen ALOT of people say that if you want to take the time, you can comb them out. People say to use lots of conditioner or baby oil and just use a small metal flea comb. I've heard it can take days or even weeks..and you may still want to get a haircut after..but I would say all the effort would be worth it if you could still have some hair left!
