new and looking for dreadmaker

hi guys,i think i am finally ready for dreads! now the only thing missing is someone to help me out making them..i am currently living in brisbane but in jan i'll leave to travel down to adelaide and later to perth.i know it is a long procedure and i am willing to pay you.i don't want to go to a salon cause you always hear they're doing crap with your hair and they charge you like crazy.. i am just a travelling student..if you'd like to help me it would be great! or if you know anyone..just let me know!i do have pretty long and thick hair.. so for your consideration i'll post a pic it is more than 3 years old but it's still the same old

cheers!

Okay.. I like the idea of letting my hair dread just naturally Is it a hard process though?I just started working at McDonalds.. I hope I can make my hair not look too messy the next weeks...Just spend the weekend on the beach! I always hear salty water is very good.. so should I start now and wait washing als the salt out or am I supposed to wash it out? hahathanks guys, love how this forum seems to be working so well =)

Yes you should wash the salt out because it can irritate your scalp and dry your hair out to much.The "natural" or "neglect" method is not complicated at all it just takes patients. All you need to do is wash your hair (non residue shampoo or baking soda) no more brushing and separate your dreads as they form. For you job I guess you need to wear a hair net, wright? So if you can just keep your hair in the net or just tie them loosely you should be good.

Well I am not making the burgers.. working at the register, which does include making chips and desserts and stuff like that.You are supposed to tie your hair back.. I guess, I can still do that!Then I am off to the shower

Can you wear a tam at work? Wool tams help the process a lot but it needs to be 100% real wool.

No, I have to wear the McDonalds Cap..But I don't work there too much. on my student Visa I am allowed to work up to 20hr a week..So I'll just put it in a bun as usual.Is there any recommended way to do your hair? as I said I normally have my hair in a bun or I brade them..They are too long, too many and to whatever to do anything alse with it ^^
