What is the best length of hair (in inches) to begin to start dreads? I have very very very thin and straight hair, what is the best method of dreading and how long does it take to look dreaded? How long does it take to get dreads naturally? And do they just become dreads or do you have to rip them apart? And what is the best way to get BIG dreads in thin hair. Or should i just stick to straight hair? Any insight on this subject would be appriciated. Thanks
I would say wait until ur hair is down to ur shoulders. Part ur hair into sections. Bigger sections=phatter dreads. Get a bottle of Dr. Bronnors 13 in 1 hemp soap. I would suggest going with the eucylipsis(sp) kind to keep the bugs out. if you have no curl to ur hair it will take longer for ur hair to dread, but the hemp soap with speed up the process. it took my dreads about a month to get phatty and i have a semi-curl to my hair. I would go to a rasta store or natural store to get natural oils to control the frizz. Make sure u backcomb like everyday. Good luck!
