Can I sleep with dreads? Is it hard?

Of course you can sleep with your dreads, were you really planning on taking them out every night and putting them back in every morning? NOPE, didn't think so. You sleep on dreads just like you sleep on normal hair. Sometimes when the dreads are new, they will be flat when you wake up in the morning, but they will poof back up as soon as you palm roll them.
Dreads can get on your nerves when you are rolling around when you sleep, they can get under your face, or poke you in the ear, but my dreads have grown long now, so I just tie them back, now, when I sleep.

While your dreads are new you will probably want to wear a swim cap, but after they mature you will not need one.

Can I use elastics?

Elastics are really good for dreads, they help the dreads form the way you want them to and keep loose hairs in. And if you palm roll them while you have them in it will actually dread the hair.

What will the rubber band do at the end of the dread? And how long should you keep it there?

The rubber band at the tip is used to help keep the dreads together when they are new and it helps the tip lock up once the dreads are tight.

Can I trim my dreads? How do I do it?

It's not really a good idea, because the dread will start to unravel because the hair that was holding the knots together before is gone. You will have to wait for the tip to lock up again and it's just a pain in the arse. But if you are going to do it the best way to cut it is like a flower, cut it at an angle and then put a rubber band around the tip and rub the tip against the palm of your hand everyday for about 2 days and then take the rubber band out.

Can I burn my tips?

I tried it once, and I didn't like the way my hair looked afterward, it looked really unhealthy and singed, a lot of the hair broke off, and it smelled so bad. The tips didn't have the blunt look I was looking for either they just looked fried. If you are going to do it make sure you don't have any wax or products in your hair, most hair products are very flammable. But I got the best results just rolling the tips in my palms.
