hey everyone i was considering trying to dread my hair near the beginning of summer, but i chose to shave most of my hair off instead. now the ideas are back into my head, and it's got me wondering: is there anything i can do with my 1"ish long hair that can help prep it to dread more smoothly? p.s. like i said in the title, i am caucasian and my hair is very straight. if anybody else is in the same boat and has had success with their dreadlocks, would you mind posting a picture of them? thanks for reading everybody -luda
Yeah man, just stop combing and start using some residue-free shampoo maybe once or twice a week. Just start treating your hair as if you have dreads and you will be well on your way. And I have seen quite a few people with straight hair that turned into some pretty nice locks. it may take a little longer depending on just HOW straight it is, but anyone's hair will dread up over time.
wash with bronners wear a wool hat alot be patient they most likely wont start to dread till they grow alittle more but just do that and salt spray or swim in the ocean and you'll start noticing drweads forming as it gets longer
ok, res free shampoo? is it ok if i use it every day instead of only a few days? i just happen to be a big luda fan, cop his mixtape, its free and it dropped today! http://www.mediafire.com/?dllf4b1ugbf (sorry if there is a no-links rule, i haven't read the rules to be honest) edit: i should also stop using conditioner as well, no?
conditioner is residue you can wash everyday but its not needed especialy if u use a non residue sopap like bronners wash it when you feel the need to, that will probly be at most twice a week..usualy once3 a week just stop combing every so often feel around foe clumps and knors play with em twisting or just playin with em as they form sepoerate them into sectuions wear a hat alot biut the more u weart a hat yhe more u will have to seperate them dont overwash most ppl overwash because the crapo they use to wash buil;ds up leaves residues and makes ya have to wash more often washing daily is ok...if foe some reason u really gotta but 90% of ppl dont gotta wash more then once or twice a week if ya work under cars with grease and oil drippin in your hair all day or gety extremely dirty somehow then by all means wash as often as u feel u nreeed but giving em time between washings to let the knots settle in will result in dresds forming faster
