will someone please tell me a way to make dreads a "natural" way i guess, preferably w/out buying anything over 10 bucks and tips on wen to wash them and crap like taht it would be SO useful...thx!!
natural way = use natural clarifying shampoo, no conditioners or anything, just shampoo to cleanse your head of oils - dont brush, let nature take its course, etc. ie: do nothing alternativeley, though not as natural - buy a metal flea comb with teeth really really close together, take sections of hair and backcomb them starting at root to lock it up - do the whole head this way, you may need tiny hair rubber bands on some of the tips for a few weeks
now if u dont mind telling me....exactly (i ahve a general idea) wat is backcombing....and how long does it usually take naturally...
naturally can take upwards of a year or greater, im sure a few of the people that have fully natural dreads on this board will comment and tell you. backcombing is taking a small section of hair and starting at the root, you comb towards your scalp so a few hairs get knotted up a little at a time, and as soon as the root is tight work downwards on the section of hair getting it really knotted until your at the end
just leave your hair alone throw away all brush's and just let it go brah and dont use resique shampoo
sweet....the only real problem now is getting my parents to let me do it...they get all crazy and think im going to die of a scalp disease and while im still alive be a bum cus i cant get a job....lol oooh and i CAN wash it right...just like with...amm idk.....something special????
