There are actually several dreadlock threads floating around on here. I have had them & sometimes want them again but i have been holding back. If you choose to go for it please do not use wax! It is actually very harmful to hair.
Washing dreads is pretty much the same as with normal hair-just no conditioner & it's better to use non-residue shampoo. But you can wash as often as needed. Once they mature it takes a lot longer for them to dry tho so be careful of mold.
People will judge you-trust me. Too many people think dreads=dirty hair or bugs. Not true but be sure you do not care what anyone thinks before taking the plunge.
Dreads take lots of patience as they will just look messy for at least a year but after that they will only get better & better. You can do some maintenance (ie, crotcheting...) on them after they mature but it can be damaging to your hair.
Hope that helps & let us kno if you do it!
I adore them & like i said, i am always considering having them again.
