      You have to wear them with confidence to look and feel fabulous. The women that walk and wear the locks with pride will always look better that the ones hiding neglected dreads that are only in their hair because they thought is was easy to care for.
      
      Wear them as if a Queen would wear her crown and you will be fine.But make sure you have someone that knows what they are doing start them for you. Enjoy the journey! Blessings

      I personally got dreads in a Grateful Dead accident (No lie, I will tell you the story some time) People who take care of them can look truly fabulous. They do need care however and when you want them gone it all has to go. That being said, make sure to find someone who knows what they are doing, before they touch your hair.

               I think you should look at pics of others who have hair like yours and maybe do a face over before yu decide. I'm not so sure dreads have the same WOW effect on whites. Not meant as a racial remark but it just looks different, kinda out of place. I think your hair would be beautiful if it was, not sure if it's the right word but, crinkle permed.
               
               Good luck with your desicion Cole.

          why thank you, Cagsil. i do take pretty good care of it, its a little overboard actually. but i think it[dreads] could be a good hairstyle for me. but, i will probably wait for a few years. actually WYCHIC's hair inspires me to just try to grow it out as long as i can.
          
          honestly though, i used to have very short hair and my hair is so in the way. and putting it up pulls too much and hurts my scalp sometimes. which i know makes me less of a candidate for dreads, lol
          
          *sigh* i wish i knew how it would look before getting them. i guess i'll just have to go with plan B. crazy incognito wigs. <3

          Honestly being a hairdresser, I would go for hair extensions in favour of dreadlocks. I have seen so much hair loss and breakage with dreadlocks it is not funny, even by those who have taken care of them.
          As they put tension upon the scalp, a proportion of those with hair loss is irreversible, meaning the hair will not grow back.
          Plus I think this looks much more beautiful
          
          
          
          than this
          
          
          
          
          But it is your choice lol. If you do get it done and you feel they are a little too tight or pulling on your scalp please go straight back to the hairdresser, they will have to be loosened. Good luck.

    Dreadlocks take 3-4 months of really wacky hair to get going, esp if you do not have coarse hair that dreads quickly.  And then to change your hair, you have to cut all of it off.

    Don't listen to Cagsil, just do it!
    
    A girl's gotta change her hair every now and then! My brother did it when he was 14 and he was the cutest little kid. All the girls loved him. He (read I) took good care of them, and I made him wash his hair regularly. If you take good care of it, and maybe not keep your hair like that for too long, they can be great!

    not to sound racial or anything but dreadlocks usually look good on darker skinned women.. as you have fair skin you'd have to really work on a style that would suit you but why don't you try curling your hair first? I'd think you'd look better than in dreadlocks..

    Why not get the fake kind of dreadlocks before you take the plunge to see if you like them or not?
    
    By the way, Cagsil is right. You've got beautiful hair the way it is.

    As a loctician and loc wearer myself who is absolutely in love with my choice to dread my hair, I feel it has been a practical and wonderful way to express myself.
    
    I still have many different styling options and treat my dreads just as I would my own loose hair.  They are beautiful, clean and well maintained and have become very much an extension of my own personal style.

    Well, obviously the hair on my head will not suffice for dreadlocks, however, we could experiment with my nipple or but hair.  I may have enough for that.  Perhaps not....

    I think dread locks look dreadful. Maybe you could consider tiny braids instead....
