What if my hair is thinning? Can I still have dreads?

These are the two things you should make your decision by

If the dreads get really long they can pull on the scalp if they get really long which can make you loose more hair.

Another way to look at it is that you will get to keep the hair longer, because the dreads will hold the hairs together.

It's really a give take situation, but I have never heard of anyone's hair follicles being damaged because of have dreads, it's just a warning that needs to thrown out there just in case anything did happen.

I have very fine slippery hair, will it dread?

Yep, your hair will dread, you will probably want to use the backcombing method because you will have the best results. The hair might slip out a little, if you don't backcomb the dreads tight enough, so make sure you do, and make sure you put rubber bands at the tips.

I have really thick hair, will it be hard to get it to dread?

There are two types of thick hair

1. Thick strands- usually Asian people have this kind of hair, it is harder for this kind of hair to actually lock up, but if you use the backcombing method with a good wax, you won't have many problems. Neglect, and twist and rip will not work well with this hair type.

2. Lots of hair- people who have curly have usually have lots of it. The stands are usually thin or normal size, and the dread great. A person with this hair will have no problems getting dreads, with any method.

It depends on which method you use. Check out the methods section In FAQ Part 2 to find more information about the method you want to use.

When the dreads are new they could form an "S" shape for a little while, but don't worry this will go away when the dreads lock up. If you palm roll the dreads it will make the "S" go away faster.
