natural / neglect

Please tell me all there is to know regarding natural/neglect dreads i have tried rip n twist method but was not happy with them , my hair is just past my ears nearly at my chin as im growing a short style out with it still dread also i dye my hair with bleach and put a veg based bright colour on can i still do this while leaving it to dread ?

u may need a lil more length

6 inch is typical but u can let it dreas as it grows

bleaching and dying might affect it somewhat but wont prevent it

all there is to know is

wash with a non residue shampoo and non conditioning scrub only the scalp not hair

then air dry

and seperate as dreads form to prevent dreads from combining into bigger dreadds

its very simple

Thanks soaring eagle

I may leave off the bleaching and dying for a while let my dreads form first .
