No, we don't think you are too young to have dreads, and who cares if you are white! Check out Knotty Ozzie on our Sponsored page – he was 3 when he decided he wanted locks. Locks are for anyone who thinks they'd like to have them. Now, they do take a lot of maintenance in the beginning, and can be quite a pain sometimes, but if you are patient and don't care if your friends tease you about having a rat's nest on your head for a while, then with time they WILL look awesome. You can always wear a hat or one of our rasta tams from the website. Before you decide to go for it, though, you have to make sure it's ok with your parents! And you can always just try it out for a day or two with gel to see if you like how they look, and if not, it's not too hard to comb and wash them out again.
