    Don't go to a salon. Read up on backcombing or twist 'n' rip. Have a friend with cognitive ability do it.

    Dreads, whether you get them at a salon or have a friend do them, are going to look bad until they mature (about a year). If you go to a salon you're going to pay hundreds of dollars. They're THAT expensive. And most salons will insist on using wax which is terrible for dreads!

    I suggest you read up on how to do dreads and have a friend help you (or do them yourself...I did mine myself). You can find a lot of tutorials on youtube too.

    Another possibility is to find someone in your area with dreads who would be willing to help you.

    *hugs* and good luck!

    LOTS of research and somebody that you trust.

    Its not a haircut or a style, its a commitment.

    what she said.
    honestly, if you don't have the patience to wait for them to bind up then they're probably not for you.

    go to a salon man.
    I mean it costs a bit but it saves you time, give you insta-dreads and your dreads will turn out better than the majority of the peoples here.

    i sincerely hope this is sarcasm lol. to the OP every set of dreads ive had(and im on my 3rd) i have all done myself. its not hard. its not rocket science and jus takes time and patience and if you have neither, like its been stated, this is not for you

    I was like "west texas, cool, we should hang ou.... nope"

    Yeah, turn out way better than that hobo hair you've got. Those pieces of shit aren't even the same size!

    The 'do it yourself' sham is outrageous.
