im probably doing mine again tomorrow. i had them awhile ago. order the kit from dreadheadhq and follow their instructions. do not go to a place to get them done. and your hair is plenty long.

I did up may hair in dreads like a week ago. I used dread head hq, turned out nice. Going to a place would make better dreads cause the person would be experienced but its very expensive, but you could probally get some phatty skinny dreads.

NO! do not go to a place. even if they are experienced, every place i have seen does them wrong. they just twist and wax. they're fake dreads.

My little bro's friend got his done for like $300. Then he decided to shave his head so he kept the dreads in case he wants to 'reattach' them later on

you can comb them out before they knot up. it will take awhile and hurt, but you can do it. but remember dreads dont look good at all the first 2-3 days you have them, and dont look really good until they are all knotted up.

wax worked good on mine, just a little bit. put a little wax in like once every 2 weeks to keep all the loose hairs in. and once their knotted up, it is possible to get them out. except itll take like 6-7 hours to work them all out, plus your hair will be a lot thinner from ripping out a bunch of hair. when i cut mine, i cut mine so they were about 2 inches long and worked out the knots for about 15 minutes and my hair looked normal.

how do you clean em? I know nothing about dreads. All I have heard is the bad rap that they are all dirty.

If it gets 'wicked greasy' after one day, then yes, they probly would. With dreads you should only wash your hair between 2 and 3 times a week, so I guess you're hair wouldn't be all THAT much more greasy if you follow the 2-3 times a week washing routine.

My friend had dreads for like 3 years. They were about a foot and a half long when he cut them. Now his hair always sticks up, cause it was knotted for so long.

that was me a year and a half or so ago. my hair is not dreaded anymore and about the same length. i let my dreads grow out a few inches and didn't dread the hair groing from the root so when i cut it i had a little bit of hair.
