Hello people, i'm 20, and brazilian and i ever loved dreadlocks, but never had them before.
Well, i've stop cutting my hair in October, 2011 (this was the last time i've cut my hair, by myself in home) not for dreading it, but just to don't give a f* about my hair. The fact is that maybe, i will crochet my hair in October 2012, but i've noted that i'm neglecting my hair since February, as i don't comb it and wash it only 2 times a week [no conditioner too]. I've knew about the neglect method by accident, and i was doing this without intention, but i just want to let my hair do his work until October, and if it don't make some dreads i'll crochet them in the saloon.
I've noted that some parts of my hair are "combing" together, and they still together even when i wash my hair [look at the second picture], do this mean that these parts are becoming dreads? Look in picture 5 too.
I need some tips about how to neglect my hair, can i do it without products? [i live in Brazil, so there's a lot of difficulty in finding products for dreadlocks]. Can i use hood or this will mess up the proccess? And if some dreads grow up in my hair, as i said, and in October i crochet my hair, is this ok?
If i stretch my hair, i can measure it as 8-12 inches in the frontal part, but in the sides of my head my hair is only 4 to 6 inches now. If i crochet my hair now, how it will look? (do someone have a pic of an similar case?)
Thank you so much, my brothers, peace in your heart!
