    Disadvantages: It takes at least 3 years to start looking like dreads in most hair types. You need to have about 10" of hair for the knots to start forming

    Instructions: The neglect method is pretty much just that. You do nothing but keep the hair clean. (Some people don't even do that but not washing your hair is unsanitary and it slows down the dreading process) Just let it grow and in a year or so it may start to knot up or it may take 3 years Hair texture and hair length has a lot to do with how long it takes. You can rip it into dreads and try to combine dreads that are too small with rubberbands if you like, but in the spirit of true neglect most people don't. I don't really think that people that use this method are really after dreads, I think they are just pissed off at their hair and decided to let it do what it wants. When I meet someone that has dreads obviously formed by neglect I always complement their dreads anyway and I don't usually offer advice, because they do not really want it. :D

    Just play with your hair.

    I rubbed my dreads with my fingers to get them to lock in the beginning.

    my dreads are almost 2 years old.. and they looked like dreads only after a month or so of not brushing... just play with it.. you don't have to backcomb or palm roll... just keep forming dreads separate so you don't end up with one huge dread... unless thats what you want. :rolleyes:

    lol... yeah, i read that before i started my dreads... and it convinced me to backcomb, which i'm not sorry i did, but i do wish i hadn't wasted my money on dreadheadhq stuff. but it was a learning process too, so i'm not really sorry about any of it.

    yea i said this before my sis's ex was japanese with hair to his waist if he didnt braid it every night b4 bed hed wake up with 3-4 massive thick dreads.,.. that was just from a few hours of sleeping..they were able to be combedout bu, if he left em be in 2-3 days theyd be too tight to comb

    natural dreads form at theyre own pasce
    some maytake days weeks months
    butthat sites just trying to scare u into going the buy your dreads from dreadheadhq or knbotyboy way

    ye, my hair is all natural, just don't wet it every time. if you can(that is if you only can), just wash the scalp and leave the hair alone, just wash it whenever it feels dirty .ye,and all that frizz?i think, they are the ones responsible for giving your hair though-knots so i don't mind that. hehe. let em be, stop taming it. to stop drying and avoid bugs, i also apply oilganics(which contains quassinoids) to my scalp from time to time.
