I wouldnt recoomend it but if you think your up to it do it. Remember dreads is a process and your hair will be messed up for a year and a half
Messed up how? I've had dreads for 6 months and I can do whatever I want with my hair.

OP if you start dreads don't do all that crochet/faux loc/extension/backcomb shyt thats for cacs with straight hair.

If you're black with any type of curly hair they should do this method with the comb.

The starter loc and adolesant loc phase just wasn't my thing. The heckling from my coworkers girls mom etc smh. I thought about cutting them off everyday. Once they reached my shoulders though. :datazz:

It's hard wearing your hair like that in the work place too.

I didn't start from super short stage. My hair was to my shoulders when I started but those baby locs are hell until they get some decent length.

Thats not too bad. Everyones journey with locs is different depending on their hair texture and length and how they style and get them locked

I have so called "good hair" and I had "manicured" locs for about 2 years. Cut those joints off and been freeforming since 2008.
