I'd say go to a hairdresser to do it, it's expensive but at least its done properly. I plan on getting dreadlocks when I think my hair is long enough (its far too short now).

The question is Joey: Can you sit still enough for 6 hours while theres all this pain goin on on top of your head?

You can wash them,you can buy dread shampoo which is designed for it. Or you can just use saltwater..keeps em clean, kills lice and helps them retain their shape.

I think that dreads for the most part are hella nasty... not that they're not clean, but the just look like a big hairball that you fish out of the shower drain.

i never got the point of them?? they look like dead hair wrapped up in a hair ball the cat spits up...

but if you want them go for it..

i think fro's are better then dreads...a) dreads make you look bald b) they look dirty/skiddish c) sometimes makes you look like you're trying to be black.

just my opinion on the matter!

I bought the dreadhead stuff, and it's good stuff. Unfortunately, I only got to have the dreads for 2 weeks since my parents really hated them, so they weren't full on dreadlocks, but they still looked pretty damn cool. I say you go for the dreadhead stuff.

Dreads look cool for about a month, but then they just start to look like you glued a hairball to your head in a bunch of places. I've seen it happen too many times.

That's if people don't take care of em. I know a girl who's had dreads for a year and they still look great.

Not to be racist, but you really have to be black to pull it off and even then sometimes it's nasty.

I'll never forget the time I was in Kmart (I know, I know) and saw this big white guy, probably 6'7", and his hair had formed itself into two dreadlock-ish things that hung down his back. They looked like Jar Jar Binks' ears.

:apuke: Just nasty.

Braids. My hair has been braided for about two years now. It takes almost about 6-10 hours for one arthritic person to do a full head of 8 inch hair. Almost teh same effect as dreads, and you can take them out without having to shave your head. Downside is maintenance- if you don't take good care of your hair while their in the braids, the hair will break and you get this "Ghost Afro" thing going on. it's very uncool.

yuck! Dread locks are the most disgusting damned things I've ever seen :apuke: They stink, they look stupid and they aren't the most convienient things to have
