http://www.dreadheadhq.com/ (click on "instructions") Here's another set of instructions: http://www.knottyboy.com/howto.htm#howto2 Have fun.
DO NOT CONDITION! That's the worse thing you can do. Also, start washing in water with sea salt every three days or so. It helps bond the dreads. Some people do the back combing thing, but I didn't do it and my dreads are coming along nicely. You should also roll your hair everyday. Do it back and forth in both hands not just with your fingers. Just remember...it doesn't happen overnight. It takes time. If you really want them then you must be patient. Good luck!
Knottylocks.tk is what i recomend above ANY site. The other sites are there to promote their produce not to help you with your dreads. Knottylocks.tk is a forum of lovely helpfull people who usually all have dreads or have had them and trust me they KNOW thei stuff. My quick stop advice: NO DREAD PRODUCTS DEFINATLY NO WAX No rubber bands
do not use conditoner...i would say try using dr. bronners shampoo... i think natural is the way to go...
alrighty thanks..i went to dreadheadhq and it said not to use shampoos with fragrances and such..should i just wash my hair with seasalt and water?
i am just washing my hair in dr. bronner's magic soap (mulipurpose and very cool) and back combing. the fysty ones i wrap up in hemp...
I just back combed them once and left them TRUST me you dont need products. The only thing i use is a handmande Juniper soap from lush, its all natural products and doesnt make your hair smell or anything all it does is clean and take out the grease, it dries your hair out for you. Other than that i just left my dreds.... they unraveled themselfs because they didnt likewhat i did to them.... and they raveled themselfs back up in a more comfortable way for themselfs
*twiddles her beard (dreaded beard of course) and looks wise like a very wise purple thing* *giggles*
Every ones hair in its natural form is dread locks.. Fleassy is on the perfect track of beautiful dreads..... only back combe once then the hair just dose it's stuff. looking back at pictures from when i finished mine to now the hair just likes the knotts and is an amazing difference.. An iv only had my dread for 4months and 3 weeks i beleave NO products please no. --(""MAYBE"")-- <-Prefer not too. wax ONCE or 2 times at MAX and not alot of it and only at the VERY beggining if u decide to do this
mine are coming along spiffyily...yes i said spiffily...and i am putting some beads in them...are beads good?
arrgh... i wanted to get dread or at least grow my hair out but my parents iforce me to get a haircut
