    Just wondering if anybody could gimmie their opinion about me getting dreads. I want them really bad, but don't know what type (clean, sorta rough, messy, etc) I should go for, or if I should go for them at all. I don't want to look like a complete douche, although I might settle for a partial douche. =P

    Here's a pic, it's a bit old.. My hair is about 6-8 inches past my chin, and it's in layers, so the back is a bit longer than the rest.

    So gimmie some opinions/references/pics, be honest! Even if brutal. =)

    i think they would look sweet on you for sure!
    looks like you have baby soft hair though so it might take a little extra work & time for them to knot up.

    but just a tiny fyi, you can't really control the way your dreads come out "clean, sorta rough, messy, etc" they will be all of the above...haha :rolleyes:

    Thanks, that's good to hear :). I just hope mine turn out good, then. As for my hair, it is pretty soft. Everybody I know loves my hair, and when I told them I was getting dreads they were like "NOOO!", lol.


    I actually found somebody online and talked to them about meeting up on Friday for her to do my hair. I'm so excited. I don't know if she's going to use wax or anything like that though.. Forgot to ask.

    I personally think that anyone can look good with dreads :)! Especially if you have some facial hair, which it looks like you had in that picture. As far as size, I think a lot of that has to do with your personality and what you feel comfortable with. Good Luck!

    Awesome. Seeing all of these positive comments motivates me. I'm still deciding whether or not I want thicker ones, or slightly thinner ones. I wish there was a way to try them on or something first >.<


    The big day is coming up tomorrow!

    haha try them on....cute

    If you start with thick ones...they'll thin out.....then in a year+ get fat again
    If you start with thin ones...they'll get majorly thin and then in a year+ get fat

    either way, they'll be fat in the end...depending how long you keep them for of course. Either way, they'll look great though :)

    whatever you do, do NOT let anyone put wax in your hair..........wax is BAD BAD BAD
    (can't believe nobody else mentioned that)

    oh you would look great with dreads! i think.... thickish ones, but thats totaly just me. looks like your hair is fine, so maybe thinner ones would be better. they will look kickass in any case. post piccys! and no wax lol it feels and looks icky and doesnt help at all.
