Has Anyone On Here Had Or Have Dreadlocks?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have HS and have been wanting to Dreadlock my hair. Just wondering if anyone with HS has experience and feedback?

HS was my reason for getting locs. I use to get my hair done every week but would need to freshen the curls. Having HS under both arms, breast, and chest wall limited my movement. I’ve had them about 20 years and cut them 2x.

I had locks for about 2 years. It actually cut down significantly on my scalp flares and I tended to have less oily buildup.

Yay thank you so much! I was not sure if it would worsen or improve my scalp flares! I'm so excited I'm going to do it now🙂
