I Will Have Dreads. Here, here to rock out with the locs out!!!!

you ladies are too funny! i love it! @ wild lotus - i agree that sexy comes from the inside. @ninjachic - LOL about your hubby! i guess i was more concerned about scaring away potential students because of my hair. but hopefully that won't happen.

Do it!! Personally, if I had a teacher with dreads I would be even more drawn to the class.😉 Can't wait to see photos.

I say go for it. I used to have a whole head of them (they were a bit bigger and not as uniform) but when I became a professional LMT I had to cut them out (as most hospitals/clincs weren't too keen on them) Are these the permanent dreads? Or the twisties similar to Angelina Jolie's in Gone in 60 seconds? My permanent ones HAD to be cut out and it took a long time for my hair to grow back. I LOVE the look of them though. I think they can be very sexy. I wish I could put mine back in 🙁

Tarah if it is right for you that will resonate from you. I get far more compliments with dreads than I ever did when I would spend hours and hours straightening my hair. I accepted my natural texture and embraced what I consider beautiful, I feel it shows and others are drawn to that confidence and authenticity. If you try it and it isn't right for you, that's totally okay. At least allow yourself the experience just to follow through on your curiousty. ... and post some pics! ;)

thanks everyone! now i just hope my friend calls me back! @Sasha - i had dreads before, when i lived at a hotsprings community in california where i was a massage therapist, and it was fine. but when i moved to florida to be closer to my grandparents, i had to cut them off. i hated having short hair! so if my friend comes through on this, they will be permanent, and i will never leave maui, LOL.
SashaMae ·
Nice!! Yeah, I suppose other areas of the country would be more open about that...hahaha I just couldnt seem to make anything work in the setting I was going for. I bet you look GORGE with dreadies. Yes!! Pics :)

DreadHead Polers are very sey .... and i aM NOT SAYING THAT BECAUSE i AM ONE EITHER LOL.....
JeHanne ·
Looking Amazing Tarah!!! :)
Well out of the pole dancers that I know- the one who actually inspired me to not only have dreads but she started my interest in poling is Jillian Aka Squeakmachine or Squeak. http://squeakmachine.com/about/portfolio/M10.jpg Although her dreads are synthetic I do beleive that she is once again another great example that you can look sexy and amazing while being a "dreaded" pole dancer. :)

dreads= bacterias and mold :(
JeHanne ·
I have not had incidences of mold or other hygiene issues with my dreaded hair.
luvlee ·
Lol! It sounds funny, but be careful. I am sure you ladies care for them properly though. I am a stylist and see mold all the time in dreds and hair extensions.
JeHanne ·
Yes, it can definitely happen.
Actually Olivia that is a misconception that seems to be carried around by many many people. Usually the people who have bacteria and mold issues have .... other issues as well and if you observe the situation you will realize that their hair is not bathed but neither is their body or their clothes in most of the situations. I'm actually a cleanfreak and have never had any bacteria or mold issues with my dreads when I had them- it is very easy to maintain your dreads and keep them "healthy". Heck mine wouldn't even smell and I would do a watered down shampoo around my roots every few days (like I would with normal hair actually. ) and a full rinse and cleaning of them at least once a week.
Anonyma ·
To each their own, i would never do that to my hair, it damages them, and its obviously not good plus many work places wont allow dreads
I think Dreads are soooo sexy on men and women both. They are against the rules at my work along with piercings and you have to keep tats covered. So much for Corporate America. I am sure there is a proper way to care for Dreads. I say go for it !!!
JeHanne ·
I respect your preferences Olivia. We do not have to agree on everything and there is plenty of room for personal opinion.
JeHanne ·
I have also held employment that is coporate and scientific with dreads. I have been evaluated on my qualifications and performance... as it should be.
Anonyma ·
but the look is still hot , looks good on rebecca butcher and i think zoraya judd has a few of them
@JeHanne, I agree and you are fortunate to have worked at such a place. But that is not how it flies at my place of employment. I found Academia to be more open minded about appearance when I was in Research. I am hoping to be done working in this arena the next 2 years so I will not longer have to worry about it : )
JeHanne ·
Hi OzarkSiren, yes each place will have their own requirements. I hope soon you have the freedom to express yourself in any way you choose. :)
I've had mine for about seven years now and no one has ever said anything to me about them as far as employment goes, but at the same time, I guess employers might fear retribution from telling me that my hair is unacceptable. It's neat and it's clean and I've never had a mold or bacteria issue, (and here's another but) but, I've never had to use any product to get my hair to loc. Anyway, rock out with your locs out as Wild Lotus said! :)
