pole and dreadlocks?

tarah started this discussion · 7/26/2012

hi everyone! 😀 so my beautiful friend, Daizie has these amazing dreads. she did them herself over 3 months, while recovering from a car accident. we talked about it a while ago, and she said she would dread my hair for me (and worked out a price and trade). but i'm wondering, do you think it would mess up my pole image? can dreads be sexy? what if i put a little pink bow in them? just looking for opinions... 😕 i will post some pics in my photos here.

I say, yes! I think if its a hair style you love then you'll make it sexy! I personally think dreads on a pole dancer would be hot. 😎 Your friends hair looks sweet btw

OMG, thank you Veena! I'm going to call her right now! ❤️

Here is Electra Vallens who was wearing them. I commented on how cool they are and she said she made them. Now these are much bigger and colored, but she posted on her site how to make your own plus they are temporary! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4ffc4060-b1c4-49dc-b4e9-1e230ac37250

Actually look under her "pictures". She has step by step on how to do them. :)
Lyme Lyte · 7/26/2012
Ops, just saw you said she would make you some. I would do it, I think they look great!
tarah · 7/26/2012
yes, i saw them! that Elektra is so talented! Felix Cane also wore some fake ones for her winning performance at the International Comp. I'm sure I will get some negative responses here too, but i like to hear people's opinions on stuff.
tarah · 7/26/2012
except it would be my real hair, lyme. not just extensions. 😮
Lyme Lyte · 7/26/2012
Oh yes, heck yeah I would for sure do it then if it was my real hair! How long do they last?

Hi Tarah, I ❤️ LOVE ❤️ Dreads!!! I think they are outrageously sexy and I happen to sport some myself. I have had dreaded hair off an on for 12 years. I have very thick ethnic hair so they take easily to dreads. Do it!!! I enjoy Lush USA shampoo bars but when I don't have any of those I use any regular shampoo. My favorite Dread specific products are from DreadHead HQ. http://www.dreadheadhq.com/store/ I like the Dread Butta, Dread Wax and the DreadLicious sprays. You will find what combination of products and maintenance schedule that work the best for you. Dreads are not for everyone but I adore them. Also when you have dreads you can incorporate dread extensions too and go from big hair to 'I need a neck brace' to hold my head up hair. ;)

LOL, thanks JeHanne! I didn't know you had dreadies! thanks for all the info on the products. I also like Knotty Boy shampoo bars. they are great for everything. and Oh, wait! I think there is a Lush store right here on the island!

I had sexy dreads :) most people liked them, but at least once a week someone would have something negative to say to me about them. also, strangers will just grab a lock and examine- like its ok to touch someone they dont even know. People asked me for drugs too- which is super annoying. they are beautiful and rebellious- also, sometimes heavy
tarah · 7/26/2012
thanks, katana. people can be really dumb. i mean, would you just go up to someone and touch their hair? luckily i don't mind being touched!
PlatinumAni · 7/26/2012
Do your thang tarah, If you want dreads then get you some! lol
JeHanne · 7/26/2012
I'm a lush fanatic!!! I have to order mine online though. The 'Seanik' is soooooo nice on dreads! I get a lot of compliments that my hair smells great when I use that bar. I've had a lot of people grab my hair... don't get that but they are not threatening... just really enthusiastic. I love to wear big hair accessories, flowers, bows, rhinestone accessories... Dreads are HOT! ;)
tarah · 7/26/2012
thanks, PA 😀
tarah · 7/26/2012
JeHanne, I will get some of those Lush bars for sure! you should post some pics of yourself sometime (in a hot pole outfit, with hot hair accessories), LOL!
JeHanne · 7/26/2012
Tee Hee... yes... I'll have to 'hot' it up! ;) I just added a photo/album called 'misc' that has my Dreadriffic hair! I got some bling hair clips that I love in that pic. 😀
tarah · 7/26/2012
Cool!!! I'm headed there right now! 😁
Dancing Paws · 7/26/2012
I think they can be really cool. In fact, there are little eclectic shops around here that sell beads specifically for dreads, and they are super cool. Sometimes I wish I had dreads just for the beads! I've seen many girls with them and they look gorgeous with them.
tarah · 7/26/2012
thanks, sensual. you live in Oregon. of course! Oregon rocks!
sparrow · 7/27/2012
Becca Butcher...totally hot! I've often wondered how she got them...they're SO long they must be extensions, right? I would love to try dreads.
Eden Body · 7/27/2012
I'm a loc head too lol. When I first thought about getting into pole I wondered if it would be sexy but then I remembered sexy mostly shines from the inside out. Sexy is unique to every woman......so I'ma rock out wit my locs out😎
