hey. your video helps alot. i have been thinking about getting dreads but i am afraid that my hair mite be a little bit to thin. should that be an actual concern i have?

[KnottyJonnyClean]

It depends on the type of thin. If it's sparse thin, like you don't have a lot, that can be a challenge, you'll have to make larger sections to compensate. If it's fine thin, as in each hair strand is small then you actually have an advantage, fine hair dreads easier than coarse hair.

what method did you use to get your dreads?

[KnottyJonnyClean]

I followed the same instructions we have on the dreadheadhq website. I only used our products and the techniques we have on the site. I did 1/2" sections but I would recommend 3/4". They will look very similar and the maintenance will be even easier :)

:) Have you checked out the "note to parents" on our site? Google: dreadlocks note to parents

You should find a pdf in our FAQ that will help alot. The note to employers is also good.

EXACTLY ! I told my mom today I wanted to dread the rest of my hair (I currently have a few dreadies) and she said: "Nonono, vas a tener tu cabeza bien piojosa!" (Translation: You will have a head full of lice.)

Me: *scoff* What? That's not true! It's MY head anyways, I'll do what I want!" :3

dreads had another sinifigant value but today is only fashion. Fuck corporacy and the shit thats happening , i am awaiting for the day the dollar dies no more monetary shitstem

dreads are like a bonsai on your head. in the end, when theyre mature and youve shaped them to your ideal perfection, and been through your ups and downs (together), youll feel great about what youve made. an accomplishment.
