How long should I wait until I am able to go swimming (In the sea) after I finished my dreads, they are only about 1-2 weeks old.

the sea is amazing for dreadsbutyou didnt "finnish" your dreadsyou backcombedbackcombi8ng is less a part of the dreading process then swimming in the ocean isdreads became popular among caucasians through surfers who got tired of thrying to undread theyre hair after spending time in the oceanif you skipped the backcombing and only swam in the ocean youd be pretty dready pretty quicklybut to say you finnished yoir dreads by backcombing will only lead to disapointment when the backcomb falls apart long before the dreads dreaddreads are never truly finnished .. they are ever changing, but they reach maturity in about 2 yearsat 2 weeks they cant be concidered dreads even, maybe in 2 months ..or 4..but they wont be dreads till nature is alowed to take its courseswimming in the ocean helps a ton

yeah, the sea/beach is one of the best things you can do for your dreads,so don't worry about going in there.

Aw, before I had to re-do my dreads by getting it braided, I went to the beach like 4 times and i avoided the ocean bc I was afraid it would unravel. :(This is one of those moments where you go "NOOOOO!!! I could have done that."I'll try it next year, then.

if you did nothing but swim in the ocean or go hike through the woods awhile youd have dreads without effort

It's the rumours the scamming companies send out, I truly beleived that caucasion hair would not dread by itself and that I would have to get it started. soaringeagle said:
