    i was just wondering...if i put lots of plaits in my hair will they dread easily,and will it take longer?. i was goin to go natural but i have pretty long hair which i need to tie up alot so i thought if i get plaits then at least its sorta up and then i can just tie the plaits up but dont wanna start it if itll take longer.?:)

    cant say for sure if it will take longer or not but it will work..you'll end up with thinner dreads most likely
    if ya wear a wool tam alot it should help things along

    something u might wanna confcider though is a methid simular to plaits (braids) but slightly different
    with braiding you take 3 distinct sections and cris cross them in a set pattern...each time taking the same sections over and over

    howerver, if each time you resection randoimly and criss cross randomly itrs more like dreading less like braiding sorta a combo of the 2 and the randomness if it will result in dreads faster i dunno if i explained it clearly but if u got questions pm, me
