How many Dreads do I use with a mohawk?
But what is the guideline when you have a (wide) mohawk and you want to install Dreads? Both sides of your head are shaved. The part where you can braid goes from the front of your head all the way down to your neck, to the hairline. Because part of your hair is too short to braid, you need less Dreads. The number of Dreads depends on how thick your hair is, but also on how big the shaved parts are. Because of this the number will be slightly different for everybody.

The number of Dreads depends on how thick your hair is, but also on how big the shaved part is. Because of this the number will be slightly different for everybody.

How many Dreads do I use with an undercut?
With an undercut a part of the hair on the back of your head is shaved, while the hair on top of the head is long enough to fall to both sides. This also differs per hairdo. Thereby the number of Dreads depends on how thick your own hair is.
Because of this the number will be slightly different for everybody.
