Is it hard for curly hair to dread?

Curly hair is the easiest type of hair to dread. You can use just about any method and the dreads will eventually lock. If you go with the backcombing method if you have Caucasian hair you will have great results the same day you put the dreads in. If you use the Twist & Pin method and you have African American hair you will have great dreads in about 3 months.

Is there anything I can do to prepare for dreading?

Actually there are. Here are a few tips.

1. If you have really straight hair you can give it more texture by braiding it for a couple days before you dread or getting a cheep perm from Wal-Mart.
2. Don't use conditioners on it for at least a week before you dread.
3. Get the items you will need to dread a head of time; you never know what could happen at last minute.
4. Bleach or color your hair, but don't use the conditioner that comes in the box. This will make your hair holds the knots better.
