hello, my little brother who has really thick hair down a little past his shoulders wants to do dreads now. he wants me to do them for him, and i just don't really know how to start.. should i just do it the backcombing way? i know he'll look really cool with thin ones, he has beautiful red hair.
thick hair will dread fast naturaly but its up to the 2 of u to decide i always suggest trying the natural way awhile b4 deciding wether yas wanna backcomb or not..but awhile can mean different things..some ppl find dreads form naturaly in just weeks..others can take months or longer u might wanna stop combing and conditioning now..wait a month and see what happens the advantages are that being 12 he may change his mind in a month and even if dreads are fairly well developed by then they'll be essu to undo and the hair wont be as dammaged from backcombing..and if theyre not making alotta progress ina month then u can choose wether ya wanna continure naturaly or choose to backcomb..either way u go though the hair will have had time to adjust to not being combed or conditioned and will be more ready to dread either way u choose to go
