    Hey I wanted to get dreads pretty soon but I have to take swim next trimester. I was wondering if the chlorine would negatively effect the dreads. I think they would but i just thought i'd get a few second opinions. I was gonna do it in a bout a month and a half and my hair should be about 6 or 7 inches by then. Thanks for the help.Peace.

    I swam in pools with cholorine and it didn't seem to negatively affect my dreads. If you do it everyday...the worst that could happen would be they would smell like chlorine...

    chlorine is really bad for the hair, it damages it terribly. id recomend using aloe vera but i guess unless your swimming regualry for a loooong time then theres nit too much problem, just make sure the pools not got too much chlorine in it :)
