Dreadlocks Beads
Just like the dreadlocks wrapping that we talked about previously, there is nothing wrong with decorating your dreads with beads as long as you know everything about how to and when to use beads.
Beads on young dreadlocks:
It is not recommanded to put beads on young dreads, because dreads should be left alone to do their things and because they need to breathe. But you can still decorate your young dreads with beautiful beads as long as you don't leave them on for a long time..
(If you leave beads on your young dreads for very long time your hair might start locking on them and then it would be hard to take them off, same with wrapping them)
Washing and deep cleaning dreadlocks:
Whenever you proceed to washing or deep cleaning your dreads, you should take all the beads off, leaving the beads on will eventually cause some build up in the hidden areas, also those hidden areas won't be cleaned properly which is not cool
What beads to use:
There are many kinds of beads to choose from: glass, plastic, wood, metal... you may use any one you want, I have never heard of anyone having problem using a special kind of beads.. maybe if you're alergic to one of the ingridients you might better avoid that kind of beads. I personally like wooden beads. I also have had metal ones, but I was never crazy about beads, maybe couple here and there that's it.

Me putting some cute colorful beads on my nieces thin dreads:
To encourage my niece and to make her like dreadlocks, I convinced her to try just few ones on the back of her pony tail, I created couple thin dreads there quickly and proceeded to decorating them as you can see in the video, she has few hair beads that are not basically dreadlocks beads but I used them on her hair anyway, tthey're kinda childish beads but so is she lol, they're mostly pink beads.. anyway she loved her thin dreads and her dread beads she even decided to keep them and go to her school with them on and show her friends
