i was once totally fixated on this girl in town who had dreds she looked so cool and i was obsessed with her for months i think they r great.

however an freind of mines sister had dreds and whenever i saw her i would just be totally grossed out bay the manky greasy smell of them i thought they were disgusting!!!!

also i think if u r going to have dreds if they r neat and tidy they r great if your hair just looks like a matted rats nest the u should just shave it all off and start again.

i'd say it depends on your hair. obviously afro hair is best for dreads, if your have curly hair your might be able to pull it off, but if your hair is dead straight the forget about it, it will just look like a dirty mess!

why not try braids?
