To me, when folks with straight hair dread, it usually ends up looking just plain matted and nasty. on the other hand, there are some real good extensions you can get out there - plus you don't have to wait years for them to grow out.I was also curious about how to start dredlocks...I> have semi-short hair and it's mostly straight with> some weird flippy body waves. It's about average> thickness and tends to be somewhat fine. Any advice?
