    I don't remember if I asked this already... what is the absolute minimum length it will be possible to start dreading? I'm getting impatient :) my hair is at most 3 cm now... I think that's about one inch, maybe a bit more.

    For backcombing I would wait until your hair is at least six inches long if you are going to do it without wax

    Impatient and dreads don't really mix though

    I definitely don't want wax... I never brush or condition my hair anyway, was more wondering at what length it can start dreading on its own?

    Well if you are going naglect then I would say the shorter the better within reason.

    Just wash with recommended soaps and wear woollen hats and swim in the sea and see what happens

    Simple

    I don't know if the city officials would like me salting their water for them. I might do it just for fun :H
