You can do it naturally, which is the easiest method by far, cos all you need to do is wash it and let it do its thing. Twist and rip seems to be the most preferred method after that, but I don't know much about it, so you can check that out, there's info about it somewhere in the forum. Definitely don't give up though, even straight hair dreads, so you just have to be patient and enjoy the journey

yea natural or tnr is best theres 2 new dropdown quick access menus above the main menu the left 1 has all the guides and pages

i just did mine 5 days ago, and i have really thin stright hair. i used the RandT method.

I have really thin straight hair and when my dreads finnally passed the shrinking stage they were about half as long as my unlocked hair. so just be prepared for alot of shrinkage.

happy dreading!

Thanks everybody!

thanks for responding!! :D did you section your hair? if so, what were the measurements? i like the size of yours, our hair is similar.

the size they are at 5 days and the size then end up in 1 year can be drasticly different

3 times bigger

u might wanna let the hair section itself

Hi, Les. Let your hair do its natural thing, give it time, enjoy the journey. Mine is fine and straight and I thought it'd never dread on it's own, but it is.

I totally agree!

T&R is just a starter and your hair will change completely. So probably

skip T&R and go all natural. I would do so, if i would start over again.
