Hi everyone. I've been contemplating dreads for about 3 years now. Five years ago I was in a diving accident that left me paralyzed. Today I have a pretty normal right side but my left is still not there. So when deciding if dreads were right for me the issue of upkeep was always the stumbling block. How would I manage/maintain them with only one working hand. Since stumbling on this site I've really gotten excited about organic dreads.SO, onto my question. I have been dying my hair various wild colors for about 2 years now. I change the color pretty much every month. My next appointment is in a little over 2 weeks. Everything I've read about starting dreads says to start with clean hair. My question is: If I get my hair done (colored) would it be ok to start dreading that day? I plan to do natural dreads. My concern was the leftover dye that would be in my hair/scalp. Should I wait until a few washes later or will they be fine?Thanks in advance.
