My Dread Lock

I want dreads but I never had them before and I was wondering how do I get them and how long does my hair have to be for at least short dreads. Basicly how do I get dreads.

Don’t believe what everyone says
I’m a white girl and I’ve had dreads for two years now. They’re awesome, I wash them, they don’t smell, and they’re beautiful…

You’ve got a lot of questions about dreads, so read up before you get them. These sites will tell you EVERYTHING about dreads:

I heard the hair is twisted up with bee’s wax, but I dont know. And when you want to get rid of them, do you really have to shave your head?

Ok so there is a special paste but i don’t think you have to shave your head to get rid of them. You can soak them in a strong conditioner like VO5 and comb them out. Start at the tip (the end) of the dread lock and slowly work your way to the root. Try to get the conditioner inside the middle of the dread.

I work as a EMT-B (AMBULANCE DRIVER) and where i live there are more white people than blacks in this profession. I will no matter what still get my hair locked.

i judge people by their actions and ethics and professionalism in the workplace over what kind of personal style they have.

as a personal preference, i don’t like dreads or long hair on men but that’s just me picking someone that could be a potential mate, not as a friend or coworker.

besides, why did you lose 10 points to ask that question if you’re going to do it regardless?
