hey guys I need some help to decide how to locks my hair up. currently I have just cut back to washing it toonce a week but I have been told to leave it a little bit longer is this correct? I read something that washing the hair can help the hair to locks but is this after a certain point? e.g when the hair starts to locks up a little bit. I want my dreads to look as even as possible so what is the best way to do this for my hair type? I currently just twist my hair not daily and not to tight as I seen a video and hear about over twisting can cause baldness.
so to summarise everything up. 1. what is the best way to twist my hair? 2.how long will this take for my hair to dread up and drop? 3. my scalp has become dry what is the best method to fix this? 4. how often should I wash it in the early stages and once after I have got dreads? 5.also my hair is long when it is stretched but it curls up. so how do I get them to stay long?
any reply's will be appreciated and I will be spreading the word of this site asI seen an email which asked to help with doing this.
thanks Kieran
