Hi All~Dreddy Deb here :). I have a question that I hope one of ya'll

can help me with. I create & sell "hippy" style patchie clothing. I

model them on a splendid antique dress form (her name is Antiqua)~Well

I've decided that Antiqua really needs mor the just a hat on her bald

head. So I have been searching out cheapo wigs on ebay~as it's just a

prop I don't want to spend big $$$ on it~Do you think I can dred it up

(the wig that is). Short of trimming some of my 7 year dred growth

(NOT!!) this wig idea was the best idea I could come up with. What do

ya think?? Any help, info or pointers would be much appreciated. Have

a beautiful day. Hugs & Smiles, Dreddy Deb

hi dreddy and everyone else.

again another sorry that i've not been around much lately - i'm still

not well, but luckily have now been referred to a specialist appt

tomoro!



as for the dreaded wig idea - it would depend what the wig was made of.

  if it was human hair then anyone that does dreadperms could dread it

for you or if its of the proper synthetic then synth dreads could be

created as well.



or have you thought of colinette yarn?



hope you all have a nice night/day (depending on timezone!)



hugs to you all, che x

I have no idea what draws people to yahoogroups. I own several groups

about rare topics in which hardly anybody is interested, I mean, one

is about Sansevierias, a houseplant. we have perhaps 150 members of

whom fifteen post a zillion times a day.

myspace is a place i cannot feel comfortable. I keep forgetting my

name and password for it.



The other thing is, i am the only person I know up close and personal

who has dreads!  and many of my friends HATE THEM.  Although i must

say, the public reaction is very positive and vocal! it could be and

is that all of my friends have rather conservative appearance, and I

did not PLAN it this way, nor would I, actually.



this has turned into a question of depth and inner searching for me.



hmmmmmm. what should you do.....I am myself in a business I created

which has a self-limited kind of appeal.



I am going to ponder this.



is there a section within yahoogroups on beauty and hair? do they not

offer categories in which one may promote ones self?

what is facebook? Yahoo has become increasingly crazy.



hard to manage, filled with errors.



hermine

ohh lordie,, you sound like me a year ago. facebook is HUGE!, when you join,

free.. it gives you the option to scan your e-mail addresses, and will find

everyone in your address book and tell you if they are on there already,

basically if you lost touch with anyone, you can find them if they are on

face book.



it is a meeting place, your own web page and you control who can see your

web page, everyone, no one, friends only ect..all my family is on it, and i

contact my class mates thru it, my family in nova scotia are on and the ones

in england ect it is adictive, because you can put programs on your page

lke, song applications, pets, book shelf ect..

Hmmmmmm...........Dreddy Deb here :). I love Myspace. But I also had a group

on Yahoo. It was PLAGUED with hackers who would send SPAM using my yahoo

group. Thye would also corrupt my email so I couldn't even log on & usually

ended with a phone call to yahoo support to fix it....but never the less

even with all the "approval"  to the group & me supposed to be notified of

any new member (which was only supposed to be thru my invitation)They found

a way past that also. There for I deleted my group and gave up on yahoo

except to still belong here to Hair Police. Myspace is fun & easy to use.

Never been to facebook (or whatever it is)~but if you move Hair Police there

I'd love to be part of that group (even though you haven't heard much from

me :(~except for the wig/dred question). Oh well I guess that's my imput.

But I hope hair police continues where ever it ends up & I can still be a

part of it. Thanx sooo much :). HUgs & Smiles to all! Dreddy Deb

PS~That's also my myspace "handle" ~hope to see some of ya there :)~love to

add ya as my friend :)

i have to agree with you hermine - yahoo has become such a hassle to

run the group on and it feels so quiet here now - i'm sure everyone has

migrated to facebook.  if i do start a group there i'll post a link on

the grup here and also do an administrator mailing...

I came across a tutorial on how to dred a wig the same day I found this

group... very nice, pictures and everything. I'm not sure where it

was... I'll keep looking. Sections of the wig were backcombed and

twisted and roughed up, and additional bits of synthetic hair were

threaded through the netting at the scalp for more...more.

Do you already have locks?  Or do you have relaxed hair and want to see how

locks would look?

I have the finest straightest hair in the world, to which are

attached fake dreads. they are so much better than any hair I could

ever grow. if I grew dreads they would be like TOOTHPICKS. this way I

have a hugh head of rasta hair in terriffic colours wash and wear!
