What kinda hair style do you have?

[Baker420]

i could never have dreds, i cant stand not taking a shower for more than 2 days, i would feel gross.

[OniEhtRedrum781]

My hair's really puffy...

[MastaChronic]

Dude, that's gross! That's one, dirty, gross way to get dreads, but his are clean, and he washes them daily so his hair doesn't stink, and isn't so greasy. If I stopped washing my hair my head would itch like crazy, and I would have dandruff coming off my head like snow.

No thanks. If I want them, I'll ge them done right by seperating the hair, combing the hair upwards, using honeydew wax, and rolling the hair, done the real way.

dude, thats the bitch way. thats not the real way whatsoever, thats just for chicks that cant wait a year for their hair to grow out.

Dreadlocks Myths
All dreadlocks are dirty.
Dreadlocks are only dirty if you don't take care of them and wash them. Not washing dreadlocks is the best way to ruin dreadlocks. You should wash your dreadlocks at least once a week.
You can't wash dreadlocks.
Not washing dreadlocks is the best way to ruin dreadlocks. You should wash your dreadlocks at least once a week.

Anyone with dreadlocks is dirty.
Not true!! Dreadlocks need to be washed at least once a week.
Not combing your hair is the only way/best way to make dreadlocks.
This is called the Neglect method, this is how cavemen made dreadlocks, by just not doing anything to their hair. Thank the Lord we have found new ways to make them because this method take at least a year and the hair doesn't even look like dreads during the time, and many people who have made dreads this way have ended up with such severe dandruff cases they had to cut their dreadlocks off and start over, usually with the backcombing method.
Wax is not a natural dreadlocking product.
Wax is probably the most natural product you can use on dreadlocks. It comes from bees that are from nature.


Backcombing is not natural.
Backcombing is just about the most natural way to make dreadlocks. Anyone who tells you this doesn't know much about dreadlocks.
Only black people can have dreadlocks.
Obviously the person who told you this has never see anyone who is Asian, Indian, or Caucasian with dreadlocks. Dreadlocks actually look very nice on Asian, Indian, and Caucasian. Many people believe that dreadlocks actually were first wore by the Asian Indians that crossed over from Asia and Europe to Alaska and Canada. Dreadlocks were also wore during Biblical times by John the Baptist and Samson. Dreadlocks were also worn in the 1400-1500's by Asian Emperor's.
Nice dreadlocks are high maintenance.
Most dreadlocks are not high maintenance. The only kinds of dreadlocks that are high maintenance are dreadlocks made from dread perms. Dreadlocks made with the backcombing, twist and rip, twist and pin, neglect, and brush rubbing methods are not high maintenance at all.
The neglect method is the only way to make natural dreadlocks.
Not true at all. There are many other methods that are natural, such as Backcombing, Twist and Rip, Twist and Pin, Twisting, Dread Braiding, and Brush Rubbing.
Rubberbands break the hair.
False. Rubberbands hold the hair together while the dreadlocks are forming to keep the dreadlocks from falling out. So many people and so many sites wouldn't recommend them if they didn't do such a great job.
Dreadlocks damage your scalp.
Dreadlocks do not damage your scalp. In fact your scalp never even knows you have dreadlocks, because the hair starts to dread about an inch away from the scalp.
You have to shave your head when you don't want dreadlocks anymore.
False statement. You don't even have to cut your hair when you want to take the dreadlocks out. Here are the ways to take dreadlocks out:
1. You can cut or shave your head if you don't care about your hair, this is the
fastest way to remove the dreadlocks.
2. Cut the deadlocks until they are about 3 inches long and then soak the rest of
the dreadlocks in VO5 conditioner and comb them out. This will leave you
with about 4 or 5 inches of hair.
3. You love your hair and want to keep it. Just soak the dreadlocks in VO5
conditioner and comb them out, it may take a couple hours but you will get to
keep your hair. Don't worry if you lose a lot of hair while you are combing
the dreadlocks out, this is hair that would have fallen out in the day-to-day hair
removal cycle. The only reason you still have it is because you had dreadlocks
and dreadlocks keep the hair all knotted together.
Mayonnaise, Honey, Toothpaste, Glue, Rubber Cement, Mud, Chewing Gum, Peanut Butter, Shea Butter, Candle Wax and Hair Gel all work great for starting dreadlocks.
Yea, if you want your dreadlocks to fall out, and want to suffer from nasty bacteria and mold growing in your hair. These products are not used or recommended for one reason, they don't work. They were not made for dreadlocks, and there is no reason to try to make them work, if your going to make dreadlocks do it right, get some DreadHead wax and shampoo follow the instructions and you will have great dreads.
Any products that mention or say for dreadlocks will work on dreadlocks.
False. Most products that say for dreadlocks usually aren't they are suposed to be used to condition African hair. If the product contains any petroleum then it is your dreadlocks worst enemy.
Dreadlocks are for rastas only.
It is a common misconseption that dreadlocks were started by Rastas and only Rastas should wear them. It is common knowledge that cavemen wore dreadlocks, not for spiritual reasons, not for fashion, just for the fact that the comb wasn't invented yet. It is ok for you to wear dreadlocks if you are wearing them for fashion, and it is ok for you to wear dreadlocks if you are doing it for spiritual reasons, hey, whatever works for you.

okay, so were both right, my bad for calling you wrong. now apologize for calling me wrong

[liberiamom]

I used to take care of my hair, but i've just let it grown out in the past couple months... and now my friends are telling me to get back to my old self and start to style it again... but i want to get dread locks... nice fat dreads that i can just tie up and forget about. but could i pull it off?

asian hair sucks because it's just straight, no kinks or texture or anything. it's boring.

edit: i just remembered the reason i started this thread. i was ripping my billy when i singed 1 of my hairs coming down from my fringe. and then i thought, shit how much of my hair have i accidentally singed while i was completely baked.

What a coincidence- I caught my hair on fire in Amsterdam less than a month ago. I was baked.
When I was a little girl, I lived in Hawaii, and I was the only "white" kid in my class. The other little girls, with long black straight hair, were my ideal, and they liked that they could curl my hair around their finger and it would stay in a ringlet- we used to brush each other's hair after school- so ms.naturally curly now uses a flat iron every morning to get the look you wake up with, cutie-pie!
Humans are just contrary-

[couch-potato]

Eh... I guess I'm trendy.

My sister is a professional hair stylist who works at a salon in Beverly Hills, so my hair is cut in a specific way, or "texturized", and I use ICE to style my hair.

I don't really resemble a stoner in any way, so eat me.

[RedLocks]

okay, so were both right, my bad for calling you wrong. now apologize for calling me wrong

hehe got me confused with nochowder

anyways.. I would like to mention some of the things from my huge copy paste are against rasta beliefs, all others need not worry. "not every dread is a rasta and every rasta is a dread", or something like that, forget the name of the song so can't look up the right lyrics

[Eazy]

erm thats ma hair number one 3mm sumtimes with pattenz

[RedLocks]

i fear this is one of those responses i am gonna catch hell for, but here i go...me and my opinions..when will i ever learn...

it is my understanding that rastafari people think it is disrespectful for a white person (or asian in your case) to have dreads because the point of dreads is being natural and not taking western things such as combs to your hair..seeing as how a white person (or asian...lol) has to create dreads, it defeats the purpose..

i guess i just think of dreads as a religious expression and not a hairstyle..if you do get them, will you post a pic? my husband is chinese and i cant for one second imagine him or any of his family with dreads.....

oh yeah...my hair is just my hair..layered and hilighted...no bangs for easy ponytails....simple

princess

I have not once encountered any weirdness from rastas because of the color of my skin besides the fact that Rastafari is about unity, love and respect (yes there are some people who take their African heritage to the level of racism which is stupid) Actually it is the opposite because they tend to gravitate to me, expecially if they see the conquering lion of Judah on my person or my red gold and green wristband poking out my sleeve they will mark me as a friend in a crowd and come up. But got nothing wrong with anythign ya said, jsut wanna kill ya for the pink text bwaaaa
