Welcome. But don't bother palm rolling. It does more harm than good. In fact, it only does 1 of 2 things. If you don't do it often, it won't do anything to create lasting knots. If you do it enough to see progress, it will severely destroy your roots. I did it for only 2 weeks, and 6 years later, I am still trying to fix the damage. It's not worth it
Welcome to the community Angelica, and to your wonderful natural dread journey. The dreaducation at the top of the site will give you many tips for healthy hair care, and may I say it is the best truthful information on the web. My tip to you for your brown hair is to invest in a brown towel for you hair. Dreads love to eat towel lint, and using one the same color as your hair will make the lint invisible to the eye. I also use a micro fiber towel, like a Shamwow, to suck the excess water out of my hair right after washing, this decreases the drying time dramatically.
Wash your hair 2-3 times a week in the beginning, clean hair dreads faster (and so does curly hair usually), don't use regular shampoos, as many have built in conditioners of sorts and also leave residue build up. Once the sections are forming, separate any that are trying to join together to form large sections. Ideally for drying purposes, sections should be 1 inch or smaller where the hair meets the scalp. Your hair will slowy shrink up, becoming the size of that area.
You are in for a crazy, amazing journey for your hair and your soul. Enjoy the ride.....Peace
