Agreed. Dreads gave me the confidence I was missing before. So for me, No dreads=insecure=shy, whereas, dreads=confidence=outgoing
Gay, no. Lame and vein, yes. You won't have enough hair to dread anyway at that point. Wait till you have like a foot+, and/or neglect if you want to start with shorter hair.
The thing is I have nappy Afro hair. So they will probably lock easier but will look disgusting. I love how the neglect method looks on straight hair .
