Hi, my dreads are about 2 weeks old and i have a high fade and then my dreads on top. but my question is if i want to get more dreads like on the sides after a year or a few months can i make new?. or is it a bad idea when i have my old dreads?..
what do you mean exactly by "make new"? If your hair on the sides is long enough, it will dread by its own, how did you do your old ones? Natural locks need no special treatment, just washing and separation, that's all.
I can only speak for myself but I personally have no idea what you're talking about.
It seems to me that you should not listen to those people for any tips about dreads. New dreads form underneath old dreads anyway, that is a total normal process which nature does when you don't comb your hair, so why would it be any bad to let your sides dread, when long enough? They might look different in the beginning, while young, but when they mature, they will look the some like your old ones.
you don't need to "make dreads' at all as the sides grow in new dreads will form all on their own. it just needs to get long enough then it will happen all by itself
