I've got a full head of really tightly curled hair that I've always worn short say, 1 to 2 inches in depth. It is chestnut brown with a few natural highlights come the warmer weather. This winter I developed a full beard and moustache. So while my hair has been pretty much no fuss, as I near my 25th birthday I'd like to sport something other than this closely cropped fuzz ball. My girlfriend really wants me to begin dreadlocking my hair. She says it would be a real attractive asset with beard and that with my build (I'm 6'-1", 210 lbs) I can carry the locks well. My stylist agrees and says that my hair texture is such that it will loc-up readily and because it grows rather fast, should be able to se some length to the dreads by the end of the year. I'm comfortable with the new image I see 6 months out, but I'm uncomfortable with what comes in between. I've heard the look can be pretty slummy and unkempt those first few months as your locs form and your dreads establish. I've got about amonth of vacation time coming, but I still will have to face bosses and clients thereafter, until I'm fully dreaded. Can anyone here offer any advice or share your experiences concerning your locs and the early developmental stages. I would also appreciate any suggestions for other ways to wear my hair.

Hi,Another thing that works is to wear your hair very very short so that the curls form very loosely on your head and it gives a Greek god kind of look. This is very popular right now and a lot of ethnic men like the look and the ease of caring for their hair. Right now men are actually moving towards the very short clipped looks OR they are growing their hair very long.Depending on your profession, the very short clipped look would be easy to care for, very chic for the moment and a new look.The dreds are an idea, but you are right to consider the impact on your job and boss. Hair does matter, I am sorry to say, but it does.Best wishes,Karen> I've got a full head of really tightly curled hair> that I've always worn short say, 1 to 2 inches in> depth.
