Straight Vs. Curly

Hulllo,

Is it easier to dread straight hair or curly hairr?
I'm curious because my hair is ridiculously straight.
I would personally think curly hair.

thankyaaaa.

 

Unfortunately for you, curly hair tends to dread easier. Curly hair is a bit like wool, it tends to cling together pretty easily. That doesn't mean you can't dread straight hair, but the process might be a bit longer.

 

yeahh that's what it would seem like to me.
darn you mom and dad with your straight hair.

 

Well you never know it all depends on your hair. You could knot up just as fast and anyone else. My hair is soooo straight and its knotted up pretty good these past 6 months.

 

yay!
gives me hope

 

Well either way, there's ALMOST no one with hair that just won't tangle.

 

true, true.

how very suckish would it be if you were the 1 in 9489823649826 people whose hair just wouldn't tangle, period?
tee-hee.

 

HAHAH, you could always wear lame Fake dreads.

 

Bahaha, yes you could do that.
poor person, lmao.

 

i stumbled upon this dready gem about 2 months ago.

his hair is pretty damn straight and his dreads, in my opinion, are some of the best neglect style dreadlocks ive seen.

this is his 1 month of progress

doesn't really matter. all hair dreads with time

 

his two year dreads are pretty epic.

 

its all a mater of physics

 

I think that having straight or curly hair just affects the shape of the dreads that form.

For instance, I have super curly hair, and my dreads have lots of funny loops and bumps in them.

Where as the guy in the above video has pretty straight non-loopy dreads.

other than that I don't think it really affects much in the dreading process...
