I have wanted to get dreads for a really long time but i have long (past my boobs) hai and it is pretty thin. I was told that if i put dreads in i'll only have a few deads and a blasd head . another person told me that just means i'll use up more hair and my dreads will be really short. i really want dreads but i don't want to be bald! Do you guys have any suggestions? thank you for any input, all is very appreciated peace love dancing sun
I had long thing hair before getting dreads, and I'm definately not bald! Yup, you'll lose more length. I lost a good 7/8inches of my hair length which I was shocked at. They ended up barely shoulder length, which took a bit of getting used too. 16months on, and they're just below my shoulders. Mine took a good year before I noticed any difference in length, that'll be different for everyone though. And as time goes on, they'll start growing faster.... so Ive been told... Hope that was some help
how bout a before pic to see how thin ya mean..but how many dreadheads ya see walking round lookin bald unless theyre actualy bald? it'll look good just if u backcomb u may see bald like gaps between them till they form a bit more
i'll try to download a pic, but i have dial up so it takes forever. I was on the dread forum today looking at pictures of peoples dreads and holy cow soaring eagle i seen yours ! they are beautiful, how long have you been growing those suckers, they are so long you had two people to hold them up?
I have ridiculously thin hair, and my hair looks more full with dreads than it ever used to. It definitely lost length, and is continuing to do so, but they'll grow eventually! I was actually worried about the same thing before I got dreads, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone look bald.
They all started off pretty thin, but they are shrinking in length, and fattening up as they do so. So now I've got some really short, fat ones, and some long, thin ones. Variety is good!
