    I was out shopping today when i saw a dude with really awesome dreads, and wrapped around a few of them were pipe cleaners! I thought it looked really cool so when i came home i decided to put some around my dreads. I want to buy some purple,green and orange ones, and for Xmas i'm going to decorate my hair with green and red coloured ones. Does anyone here wear pipe cleaners in their hair? I really think it's a great idea!

    :)

    i havent (probably since i don't own any). but i use twist ties sometimes (the ones for plastic fruit/veggie sacks at the grocery store. it looks rad and it tightens the dread up really well.
    i assume the pipe cleaner would do the same thing :)

    lol, that would be cute! If you used plenty, I bet you could even use the bendiness of them to make funky sculpture out of your hair! :D The one thing I'd worry about is the fuzz shedding and getting all up in my locks... Post pics if you do it! :)

    I was Madussa for Halloween and I put pipe cleaners in my dreads so that they would stick up. I wouldn't leave them in long because they got stuck on my dreads after a night of dancing...I couldn't imagine leaving them in for extended periods of time.
