    Okay soaringeagle! :)

    But i think it's hard to find a job if you have dreads.. I don't plan on having them forever, just a few years maybe, and i'll see how everything turns out ;)

    its not so hard really..and getting less hard all the time (wekll except that now its hard for everyone to get jobs)
    as the econmomy rebounds it will be easier
    unless it collapses completely then well your job is anything u choose to do..so getting a job will be as easy as choosing to do something that needs to be done.

    Btw, im bored at the moment so i just i'll upload some pictures of my hair now.. lolz don't laugh.. and don't pay attention to my crazy eyes, they look awfull on pics. Two of the pics is when i had almost longest hair i've had, and other two the hair i have now (The last of em combed up to show it)

    I hope that this isn't a stupid question, but what color will my dreads be when i get them?

    I suppose the hair color gets more dark when hair is dreaded, can someone post a pic? If you have the same haircolor as me.. some kind of brown

    I've read some on the forum at it seems that getting natural dreads usually takes 6 months!! I seriusly can't walk around with messy hair that long :'(
    I know many of you put your lives into dreadlocks, i just think they look great, and i'm willing to take care a lot.

    I can try to get naturals for like a month, and then if i see they lock fast in that time, i can keep going, right? If it happends fast at start, wouldn't it happen fast for futher time?

    some take six months others 2
    like look at dylanchick0113 and windcriesmary
    dylanchicks dreaded beforee my eyes, 1 week she had her 1st dreads..2nd week a few more..it looked lil crazy for 2-2 1/2 months but by then were looking great
    windcriesmary as well hers dreaded in no time flat
    then check out the thread progressdarthkacie is just beginning hers, the 1st dreads are just forming and shes only 4 days in or so..maybe a week but already getting her 1st dreads

    its different for everyone..and some can take awhile..otghers happen fast..
    mine seenmed to happen in ws week or 2 but was so long ago hard to remember

    Okay soaringeagle, but can you clearly explain how i can get them

    Should i twist my hair one day and walk around with some twists or should i leave it alone untill i see its dreading some places and then form them as i want?

    Btw, every morning when i comb my hair theres some hairs like stuck in eachother, is that dreads forming slowly? :)

    natural dreads

    wash your hair with residue free soap
    separate at the roots if they need doing/you dont want fatties
    keep them clean
    stop running fingers thru yer hair
    get a woollen hat/tam
    chillax
