How to Choose Between Thick Dreads and Thin Dreads?

The journey of dreadlock is quite interesting as in the initial period people keep on thinking whether go for thick or thin dreads and with time get a conclusion. In some cases, people surprisingly grow organic dreads and fall in love with nature’s idea. As we begin the saga of dreadlocks, let’s have some insight based on personal experiences of dreadlock holders.

Thick Dread

Pros:

• It tames the super thick hair beautifully if volume is not that essential. • Thick dreads are easy to sculpt into different styles such as Bantu knots, pin curls, dread beads, etc. • In this case, the quantity of dreads decrease, therefore, spent less time maintaining the twists and tightens. • In most cases, it proves to be stronger and durable.

Cons:

• If having thin hair and less volume, thicker dreads will give a scalpy look. • Takes more time to dry as thick dreads hold more water and hence the idea of shampooing becomes difficult. • Styling and mimicking loose hair become quite difficult with thick dreads.

Thin Dreads:

Pros:

• The thinner dreadlocked hair beautifully mimics loose hair in both styling and appearance. • People with thin hair can also enjoy a fuller hair, better volume, and having Clean Dreads become easy. • Usually is pleasing and good enough for those who aren't in love with dreadlocks. Note: This is not to please others but many think it is a hindrance to futuristic growth, therefore for a viable compromise have thin dreads.

Cons:

• If having voluminous and thick hair, the dreadlocks might look too big. • The maintenance time increases with tightening of roots. • If the hair is not healthy and strong, the chances of breakage increase highly. • Sculpting into certain twists and braid becomes difficult.

Hopefully all the points mentioned above might help in making your decision easier on whether to go for thin dreads or thick ones. So, natural dreads can now be tamed according to your wish and priority, so love your dreads and flaunt them proudly.
