I am of Chinese/American descent but my hair is slick and perfectly straight. I want to have dreadlocks but my stylist told me that my hair is too slippery to knot up. Is this true? Is there some way I can work around this? Would I need to use a lot of wax maybe?

well, i don't have dreads, and i'm not asian...but my boyfriend is south-east asian and his hair is also very straight and smooth. He never gets any sort of tangle. I *think* it would be possibly for anyone to have dreads, but it might be more work for you. Get another opinion, perhaps from other people who have dreads instead of just a stylist.

1) Grow it out, stay away from evil conservative hairstylists that want to cut your hair. I speak from experience. Hair grows about 6 inches a year.

2) Perm it, let the perm overprocess if you wish, makes it very frizzy. Say goodbye to your slick straight locks
