DREDS?

I think you would be better off with the synthetic/fake dreads for starters. Since your hair is relaxed,and assumedly not thick, it wouldn't look authentic since it is relaxed. You may want to just grow your hair without cutting the processed portion off. This can be easily done if you wear singles in the meantime, as I am doing. After about 18 months, your natural growth will be long enough to wear dreads that will fall downward. If you decide not to dread, you have the option of relaxing the growth, or cutting the relaxer off, thus leaving your new growth a reasonable length. Where I'm live, dreads/twists are the in-thing.:)
 
No you don't have to really cut it
what they call the Dread Perming , this can cost from $200 to $450 bucks
it's a chemical process to deal with already perm hair , this really requires
high professional maintenance.

Sectioned the hair into squares , make round dreads into 1 and 2 squares
remember smaller sections make thinner dreads , secure each one in rubberbands
twist each section clockwise using a reg comb to snag the hair at the ends and
twist, be sure to get some dread wax so it can help hold the dreads

Good thick wax without petroleum holds the hair better and thinner wax
for sheen and fragrance rubberbands can be used for the first few weeks
be sure not to make them too tight but snug , hair should be twisted regularly to
help the locks .

Perm hair can be train into the locks for great dreads but do not use anymore
chemicals as time permit ther perm will turn to a nappy look for great dreads
also get the right products to maintain your hair also for that perm hair and getting
set for dreads it would be nice to use berries in the hair , hope i was of help
from what i know.....................i'm sure one of the sistas will give more info.

I'm not a Professional nor have i've done this ..
