    Ever since i was really little I have wanted dreads. I live with my dad, and he aproves. My mom and the whole other side of the family on the other hand, does not. Like I care...well anyhoo, I have very thick, blonde WHITE hair. I need serious help. My hair is so thick and yet the acual hair is thin. My pictures are in my galler if you wanna see. I have short hair now, since I cut it. Can you help me?

    I looked at your gallery, and i dont think your hair is long enough to make them into dreads. braids on the other hand....

    my friend did them for me...she took sections about 1 inch by 1 inch and backcombed really well then put a tiny pit of wax in...www.knottyboy.com they have instructions on how to start dreads..and be patient because there will be days/weeks when they look really bad..but hang in because they will look good in time..peace and love:)

    your hair isnt too short, you can do em with only about 3 or 4 inches of hair......
