My girl wants dreads for her birthday, i keep telling her we should do them ourselves but she wants someone else. Anyone know how to do dreads and wants to make some $? Or know of any place that can do nice work? Thanks

 

WTF is wrong with you? do you even know how to keep dreads?

If your girl wants dreads for her bday, then you need to give her a good slap in the face.

 

tell her not to wash her hair

 

disgusting

 

You don't "get" dreads. You grow dreads.


You won't grow them overnight. It takes months even if your hair is nappy.


Now, if she wants to tie her hair in knots for a night, then anyone who has enough manual dexterity to tie shoes can do it for her.

 

Must also have opposable thumbs

 

Go down to the beach or go to a braiding salon. I think that's what she want's braids, not dreads.

Braids

 

Does she want something like this?



Being a glass blower, I have many, many customers who have dreads. Personally, I think they are very attractive on women. I will say, however, that they stink. One of the keys to maintaining them is not washing them. So, you can imagine.

Honestly, if she wants them, it's not something you get overnight. They take a while to develop, and require quite a commitment (or, lack of commitment in some people's eyes).

 

You can wash them. You just have to use non-residue products and wring them out like sponges.

 

You can only wash them after they have locked.
