Chamber of Life · 27th Jul 2008, 12:24 PM

So....... I've been growing my hair out for about three months now... Getting my hair ready, for dreadlocks. In about a month or so I'll be getting my hair locked and I've been having some second thoughts. So! I came to your guys. Should I get dreads or leave them alone??????

P.S. THEY WILL NOT BE GROSS DREADLOCKS!!!! I will keep the suckers up to par.

THOUGHTS: ?

I think you would look better with short hair.

But it's your choice.

davo-man · 28th Jul 2008, 01:01 AM

I think you should go for it! I mean, if they look so terrible (which I'm sure they won't) You can always cut your hair

Good luck with them and I think you should get them

I say go for it because if you don't you will always have regrets and wonder. Get them done, get used to them a bit, see the reaction you get from family and friends and then decide if you want to keep them. At least then you will be making an informed decision and won't always be wondering 'what if...'

I'd say ,DO IT !!! It may be the only time you'll be able to.
It'd be a drag to look back in the future and have to say,"I wish I had...."

I vote no.
Personal opinion, though.

I think you'll look nice with dreads, just as long as you keep up with them and don't let them kink up. My brother had dreads for years and he didn't take much care of them, so they kinked up so badly he had to shave it all off.

Awww, thanks sooo much for your guy's support! I'm totally going to go for it!
