| i'm like, 90% sure i want them. i'm pretty sure i'm going to follow through and get them, though. so excited. :3 i don't know what kind i want though. i know for sure i don't want them mega thick like cybergoth or anything aha. i looove the look of these, because they're so thin. but i don't think it would look as good because i'm blonde. ahh maybe. i fucking loooove these, but they're thicker than what i want. soo yeah. opinions? what length should i get them and stuff. i'm not worried about looking h@rdc0r3 or anything, haaaahaaa. i think it's because i'm so.. normal looking that i'll be able to pull them off. =P let's discuss! | |

| hmm I think my only thing is how different the texture of the dreads is from their natural hair! its like, hxc dreads and then baby hairs, hehe. but honestly you can pull off damn near anything. I say go for it! it may take some trial and error figuring out the perf thickness to suit you, but once you figure it out it'll look great. I think just slightly smaller than the ones in the 3rd pic will be good! | |

| I think like halfway between the first and second as to thickness. as far as length goes, really really long would LOOK faaabulous, but it would be VURRY VURRY heavy, so you need to take that into account.
I reckon you're going to look sooo cool with them in though! | |

| Yes! Get them Alexa! I miss my dreads terribly! I prefer thicker dreads, I had 45 double ended fairly thick dreads, they looked fucking awesome but they were quite heavy, I had to stop swimming and I only washed them once a week (cause having them wet damn near snapped my neck..) Mine were brown and red, I never dyed my hair then though, just had a very talented girl make them, she had the base colour as a brown which matched my natural colour and wound a couple of shade of red through it. I think blonde and pale pink or pale blue looks awesome. | |

| i was hoping you would post, gill! were they hard to sleep in or anything? i've had blonde, pink and blue hair before and it looked pretty good when it faded, so i'll deff take those colours into consideration. | |

| Not hard to sleep in at all, they didn't bother me! The only issue was people I was dating at the time complained they were scratchy to lie on.. But my friend makes dreads and says she's just made some super soft ones that aren't scratchy at all (her boyfriend has similar complaints about her scratchy hair) so I guess it depends on the material. | |

| I think they look really cool in natural colours. maybe an auburn could be nice on you? though as you've not had it (from what i remember before) it might not be a good idea. I like the idea of an ashy blonde, maybe with some other colours in. surely you could have a few dark brown in with them? that might look cool!! | |

| I think you'll look super hot with dreads! I tried to dread my hair once, but gave up after about a week because I have no patience. haha.
Good luck! | |

| I know this was MONTHS ago, but I was also MONTHS trying to deciding what I wanted for sure, seeing how they are ~150$. Anyway! Got 'em made. Installing them on the 16th. Here's a picture she posted on fb for me, and other customers, to see! I went with just plain, really long blonde ones because I don't have any colours in my hair right now and it looks pretty good with my extensions. So I figured the dreads would look alright, too. | |
