Dreadlocks / Rasta Hair Style?

Hair naturally "dreads" together when it is not combed. To achieve deadlock hair a person must never comb their hair. The outcome does not happen overnight. However, there are contributing factors that assist the process of dreads. Such factors include damaged or bleached hair, coarse and dry hair, and eliminating the use of conditioner. I have shoulder length dreadlocked hair that i began "not" combing two years ago. also another way is to braid your hair in as many braids as you want dreadlocks to form. Don't unbraid the hair and wash weekly. The hair will naturally "dread up". Once the hair takes a non braided dreadlock form the roots will naturally grow out but obviously not braided or dreaded. wash weekly. There are a lot of hair products that will keep your hair fresh and clean between washes. Roots will grow out so if you want to keep a more "modern" unkempt look (not like Bob Marley or a rasta. Also for a thicker dreadlock the trick is to just braid the hair at that diameter and follow the same steps. Trust me its all about braiding the hair first and the rest is easy. Estimated time for curlier more textured hair about a month for the locks to form and for straighter hair, I'm not too sure.

Dreads are a natural style, therefore treating them naturally is best most products they sell have a better home made alternative; sea salt in water helps dreads tighten, aloe vera tidies up loose hairs and conditions. baking soda and many herbs clean and maintain healthy scalp and hair.
