rock and a hard place

im having a hard time deciding if dreads are right for me. i want them, dont get me wrong, but i have done lots of things to my hair already. i have grown it out, cut it off, gotten an 'A' line cut, dyed it black, purple, red, bleached it, then dyed it red again. it is back to its natural color. i just hope my hair is strong enough to handle dreading. and insight would be very helpful.
