So im having difficulty finding someone to dread my hair (as in friends) and im also scared they would screw something up or not make it tight enough or w/e. How much does it cost to go to some place to get a hairstylist to backcomb it?
[font="]In San Francisco a stylist told me for $100 an hour, though since it was the bay area the prices are always higher. [/font]
About $80 bucks around here for the salon treatment, but thankfully, I randomly met a really cool rasta dude at work the other day and he is going get his friend to help me for about $40.
u better make damn suree u know what theyre doin and what your pasyin for weve seen p;pl putout 250 only to have to tear apart the mess they made the very next day ive had a freind who spent weeks looking foe some1 roi dread her hair durrin those weeksd we went up on the mountains qand she forgot to brush her hair before she could get anyone to dread her hair...her hair dreaded itself patience is free
Why would you EVER pay for dreadlocks? It's been yeeeaaars since I last when to a hairstylist, but whenever I did, they always fucked up my hair. So why would they not fuck up dreadlocks too? listen to the man.
Had an experienced friend do mine for $130. She only charged me because it took 14 and a half hours to do my hair... plus she was moving so it helped her in the end lol.
The title of this thread made me chuckle too--my first thought in response was 'time'. Though I do think we should show a little understanding to those coming here for the first time not realizing the fact that your hair will dread itself, and that almost every product pushed by companies is just that--a product intended to make money for the company. I find it a little telling that DreadHead HQ sells a dread removal product (not sure about KnottyBoy, never been to their website). Bang!--they just hit you twice, once in totally f*ing up your hair (and charging you for the pleasure) and again making you pay to remove the mess they helped you create. I myself was taken into buying a kit for a total cost of $80--but to hear of paying $100 an hour for backcombing--wow!! My mom and sister backcombed my hair for me (an unnecessary and very painful process--it seriously hurt worse than my tattoo they backcombed it so tight) and at a total of 34 hours of combing over 6 days--I could do a lot with $3480!
