no offence but in singapore,if u go around walking like that people will laugh at you. its ok if u do it at some other western country.But in singapore i dont think it blends in.

Nah i think it won't go past the laughing meter .. If i see someone with blue hair then i'll laugh ... And you must look good with the hair, of course. If face so guai kia then have dreadlocks like kinda weird.

anw i dont find it disgusting or smelly....people say it smells...but try going to a few website regarding dreadlocks..some denied this myth or theory...about not washing the hair for years....i don tink so....for days yah..but since he said tat he did not wash for years so ok den.....:lol: ....my cousin dread his hair and don smell....he say on the process of post-dreadlock, he had to go to Changi beach as salt water makes the hair rough and in the end speed up the process....he also even bought a shampoo from one of the website....i tink it was knottyboy or knottydread....sleeping its a hassle...but my cousin did not complain because he always wears a hat or someting i dunno wat it is call...it might sound funny.....but nobody looking except ur family member....about ppl laughing at you....hmm maybe coz some ppl have their own taste of style....so if wanna dread and have extension dread tats cool but it wont look nice coz it don look tat original... :wink:

Dreads used to be so religiously related. But now it's just fashion to most people. :?

 

[detroit_red]

Yeah, just like how you're a real tribesman.

 

[Tribalcast]

Nah I'm a poser. But anyways you do know that dreads wasn't originally from Jamaica right?

dreads can be washed with a special soap that can be obtained from a shop here in singapore... its in marina square an its called rastafari... they sell quite a couple of things regarding dreads like, locking spray(an agent to help lock dem dreads if their natural), soap/shampoo and others... the onli thing about dreads is that u have to be commited to maintaining dem and its not an easy feat... check it online for more info on how to maintain dem... if u are planning to do it at far east(the shop is called it"s hairy) be preapared to cough out about 350-500 dollars not inclusive of the extensions... its better if u manage to see another dready on the road, ask him/her bout it....

 

[bassist]

are there any other places in Sg to get the dreadlocks done for $100-$150? :lol: got no time to go overseas

and roughly, how much does the soap/shampoo costs?

 

[NATURAL_i]

nope... got to ask dem dreadys about their friends who did it for them... most usually did not have dem done at shops...i am about to do mine soon... the soaps arent too expensive... $10 odd... cheaper alternative is to find for a soap that has 0 conditioner or moisturiser in it cause that will result in the flakes forming in ur dreads...

So, does dreadlocks KILL your hair? Like really damage it and such? :\

 

[legin]

dreads are linked to religion right?man.do u need a whole thick head of hair to do it cause most of those guys with dreads seem to have a whole load of hair!!!!

 

[nic1327]

there're always dread extensions

 

[legin]

extending is one thing.cause its jus extensions but to those that don have a reali thick head of hair how?i mean u cant just go put in hair just like that!

 

[NATURAL_i]

dreads do not actually kill ur hair cause it will still grow... onli difference is that it will continue growing as a dread... how dreads are form is by knotting the roots to maintain its circular form... so most importantly is when u have just dreaded ur hair is to always twist it in its circular form for at least a good 2 weeks to a month depending on whether u are using an agent to help lock it up... dreads can be unknotted but it will leave u with very frizzy hair but i have not known any that has done so cause they would rather just cut it off totally and be bald... ur hair has to be at least 6-7 inches in length to have dread extensions... there are few diferent types of extension... nylon fibre or for the best result, dreading from a hair wig that best resembles ur hair... the reason u need the minimum cause ur hair will be knotted/dreaded b4 the extensions is tied to ur dreaded hair... but not most ppl would dread ur hair first... so u got to find for somebody who could do for u the proper way... dreads are well associatted to the RASTAFARIANS... in their religion, they beleive in all things natural hence they would never ever cut their hair as it is regarded as a sin to do so... so they lock it instead... wat they are left with are nutty dreads...

 

[fadz]

Cool info bro. By the way some dude says dreads aint originated from Jamiaca, so where is it originated from. I thought the rastafarians are from Jamaica.

 

[NATURAL_i]

dreads is known to be originated from africa... just as somebody had mentioned earlier in this thread that u have to leave ur hair unwashed for sometime and keep twirling it and it will naturally knot up... well that was a method long ago... africa being in a state of imporverty back then as it is now, not many had the decent luxuries as we have like styling gel, haircuts and such... true, when someone say he is rastafarian u would assume that he is from jamaica... but the religion, or the teachings of it is based on this one man itself... EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE I, THE KINGS OF KINGS, THE LORDS OF LORDS, THE CONQUORERING LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH... he was basically the king of Ethiopia back in the early 20s... u guys should check out on the net bout him cause there would be too much information for me to convey... basically, when ppl are being oppresed, in this case the ppl of jamaica, they needed someone to look up to... the history of the religion is extensive... so yah, thats it for now... :?
