I'm gonna get dreadlocks... but I need help with something..

I don't know anyone who can do it for me... Is there anywhere I can get it done..

Or how can I do it myself?

 

ill do it for you

 

just stop brushing your hair.

 

^^ this...

Your hair already knows how to do it.

 

then separate what natural dreads together from the others so you don't end up with monodread or just a few congos.

 

Keep your hair clean too. No conditioner, it needs friction to lock so it can't be all greasy or silky smooth.

 

ripping is overrated, I say, go for the big ol' bongos

 

Will one person just give me good instructions on a way to dread it... everyone is telling me all different things and its confusing the hell out of me...

 

derrrr, lurk more

 

But don't I have to keep separating me hair? How? Is there some special way to do it?

 

Gah, I have to go to work so I have not time to continue the trollollols...

Wow.. thanks for the help... but seriously don't be a fuckwad to someone whos only asking for help.. mkay

 

If you dont wanna be hassled on the internet then read the stickies in the forums, people have asked your question before, this being a site about the creation upkeep and maintenance of dreads, it occasionally becomes the topic of conversation. If you took five minutes to do some research you would have had your answer instead you waited all day to get shown where to go

 

If you can't take people giving you good advice and having a little gentle fun at the same time, you should consider learning to read the first few topics in a forum before posting dumb shit:2thumbsup:

 

Someone on teh interbone called me a fuckwad :bigcry:

 

Dude your being a fuckwad. Your question was answered perfectly. Residue free shampoo, and stop touching your hair. Thats all you need to do. May need to rip in the future but that will be your decision when the time comes. You dont get dreads you grow them. mkay?

 

stop combing with your fingers, wash with nothing but water. I don't even towel dry it

that's it

 

boo this man

 

If you want an "all in one" method, look up backcombing or twist-and-rip. Both will give a dreads look. And after a long time they'll turn into actual factual dreads. Just don't be disheartened when after 3 months your hair looks like a bird's nest.
