With my Asian hair, possible to get afro or dreads?

I have asian hair. Right now I have it short, and it stands up. It's kinda thin in the sense that it's about half a inch and there's spots where you can see hair that isn't so thick. When my hair grows out, it's very thick, flat, black, and straight.



Would it be possible to get an afro or dreads? Would I just curl my hair with tiny curling tongs, then follow normal procedures? As soon as my hair is long enough that it lies down flat, I would curl it up for an afro, right? And let it grow



Could I just backcomb my short hair (half an inch, sticking up) for dreads? I don't even know what exactly backcombing is. I thought it was coming from my bangs to the center of my scalp, and the same all around the head. My hair grows out flat from the center outwards in a circle, so that would be combing in the opposite direction. But then I read it should be from the ends to the scalp? How does that work with my short hair?

well for dreads you need really long hair, but im sure it can be done you just have to dry it out completely

Grow it long. I'm Asian and I grew it long. I had these sick braids going back on my head. When I took them out after a week and a half, I had a fro that stuck out a foot in every direction.

I dont think so. If you have straight hair, the afro thing wouldn't work. See if your hair was curly, wavy, coily or kinky, you wouldn't have a problem. But if its bone straight, then you would have to get a curly perm (but I seriously dont suggest that - you could really damage your hair).



You might be able to do the dreads thing do. Look up information on salons that can do dreads, look up online for pictures of asian hair in dreads, and how to go about taking care of dreads if you're going to do it. There are different ways of starting dreads and you dont need long hair to do it.



You can go to www.dreadlocks.com and read it before you go to a salon to ask questions about it.



There is also a website called www.nasabb.com. Click on hair and skin tips , then scroll down till you see the dreads section. They will give you good info on the care of dreads, like not getting dread extensions and using shea butter to moisturize your dreads instead of gel, petroleum or wax since it will sit on your hair and make it hard to come out when you wash it.



Look for salons that specialize in dreadlocks in your area. They will tell you in detail about the backcombing and how it should be done. Let a professional do that. Dont do it yourself. Hope this helps somewhat. God bless.
