    I have incredibly thin hair, can I still get dreads or would they look "odd".

    Dreads always look odd, at least for a long, long time. What makes dreads cool is the way they are all unique. So I say dread your hair up and add to dread diversity.

    well, one thing that makes dreads thick is the fact that they hold onto the shed hair for a long time. So your hair COULD look thicker. Do it and if the results don't work for you, hack em off.

    Good luck :p


    It works really great...no backcombing or anything like that.... I just didn't like the look of dreads, they showed the sides of my face which makes me look ugly as a fucking goat :D

    lol yes.....use saltwater too...actually, here's what I got from moonshyne, it works really fucking great, this is what i did, but my hair was too short:


    Frizzies can't be hlped much, but you can make it go
    by faster. First, NO WAX. Never ever. All it does is
    get caked up in your hair and once it's in there you'll
    never get it out. Get some salt and fill up a bathroom
    sink with water, and pour at least a half cup of salt
    into it and soak your head in it. Don't rinse it. It'll
    feel like shit, but it works wonders. Also, be sure to
    palm roll everytime you get a free moment. No twisting
    or any shit like that, just palmrolling, starting at
    the root and working your way to the ends. Don't wash
    it any more than once, maybe twice a week, and only if
    you absolutely have to. Do that until they start to get
    tight, otherwise scrubbing your scalp is gonna pull all
    those loose hairs out and it's gonna look even worse
    than the frizzies. NO conditioner at all.....you can use
    a little bit of pure aloe if it starts breaking, but
    just a little bit. Also, try to use only shampoos with
    no fragrances or colors because it will build up in your
    hair. You can buy dread soap online, but if you can't
    get it for some reason Neutragena makes a 14 day
    treatment sampoo to remove residue....look for it. Ivory
    will work too.

    BUT REMEMBER THE SALT!!!!! that (I think) is the single
    most important step to tighten your dreads!!!!! (and
    always palm roll afterwards!)


    remember, all thats from steph(moonshyne), not me :p

    Don't shower for 3 or 4 years, rinse your hair in saltwater, and you'll get there!!
