How much work are Dreadlocks? I'm a white grrrl, and I like to henna my hair. Is henna compatible with dreads?

Question

I like the dreads that are more even, I understand you have to twist them?

Thank you

Answer 1

It's quite a process but I wouldn't say it's anymore than any other hairstyle.

Basically, you use a special dredlock shampoo every 3 days and you wax and twist them.

:D

Answer 5

i don't know anything about white people dreads but for the love of cheese DO NOT put henna in your hair. it's soooooo bad for it. it's almost impossible to color over it and you can't get it out. you have to cut it off. it's hair suicide. don't do it.

Answer 6

henna will be alright. in fact, it will last longer, as you dont wash as much. there's special shampoo you use. you wax and twist it, but i'd have it done professionally or by someone who already knows how, it's hellish if you dont. good luck!
