i've tried to get dreads before and i've had like 5 different people try to do them but it just wont work, i have super straight indian hair even braids wont hold up. is there anyway to do it my hair is about 3/4 to my shoulders in the back and in my eyes in the front.
Hello! I am very new to all this so I don't know how helpful I'm going to be. (I've just done a lot of reading, haha.) Maybe if you went a little while without using conditioner beforehand? It can coat your hair in some pretty slick residue! And what method have you been using? I experimented with the twist and rip last night (I now have 5 baby dreads-in-progress woohoo!) The second video on this page is very helpful: http://www.dreadlockssite.com/page/twist-and-rip-method-dreading I hope you find your answers! And good luck with your journey!
You could try to crochet. Im not sure if I want to recomend it, it can break a lot of hair, and its painful. I used this method to start my dreads and im very happy with them now. But i didnt touch a crochet needle after that first time. I also have very straight hair.
