Best way to find out if dreads suit me?

Thought of having dreads ages ago, and since my hair seems to have reached its maximum length, I thought of dreading it. What is the best way to find out if the dreads suit me? Is there specialist software that people use or they visit a hairstylist and try one on? I never asked an ex-colleague of mine when he had to have his shaved off ebcause the weight was damaging his scalp. Said his dreads suited his friends more than him and was so tempted to ask if he could bring them in to see if they suited me.

Obviously cleaning the hair will be an issue but I can take care of that. Oh yes, and shock horror, I'm white.

Photoshop can give you a pretty good idea and there are flash sites which mimick photoshop. They're a long term choice to make, so choose carefully! I kinda want them but I know i'd be sick of them after a coupla months.

Real. Didn't actually contemplate fake dreads to be honest. Thought of having fairly short dreads though. More like...

Photoshop your face onto Ruud's in that Cup picture. This may not help you decide at all, but it'll give you a fun picture of you lifting a major football trophy :biggrin:

I thought of that but I've just uninstalled it. Will get back to using it more in the summer. Thought of thicker dreads than Gullit though. Cross between the first picture and the second.

Dreads look stupid on pretty much everyone, imo.

Mandem a'racist.

Maybe it's just me but I love dreads. :smile:

But make sure you really want them first because if you don't like them then you're going to be bald for a while.

i think dreads on white people can look awesome, though you need a certain image to pull them off i think..

another thing to consider is jobs, if youre planning on getting a job anytime soon then theyre a bit no! Id have dreads if it wasnt for work :frown:

I'm all for dreads - I'd do it myself, but I can't handle dirty hair xD

But be aware that dreads that short will look ridiculous before they're as tight as the ones in the photos. They'd be like huge clumps of matted hair stuck to your head.. but I suppose it's worth the final result. :biggrin:

Is it even possible if your hair isn't curly?
