wash out the gel! if it holds it prevents dreading
how are you starting them, the hair may need lil more length

none! just a shampoo www.dreadlockshampoo.com being the best
the sponge is a rediculous thing.. your hair will dread if you just wash, ad leave it alone.
or you can twist and rip.. but thats unnesacary
you want nothing in your hair at all just clean hair

your african american? if so youd want the bar shampoos from that site not liquid if yur not, then the liquid will make t dread faster
you want the hair to be free to move, tangle, and knot. so nothing that hold hair in place! no gels, no gunks, nothing.
just clean hair free of residues (gel is residue by definition!)

thank you. most people suggested i use locking gel and and a sponge because it would be more simple. i am afro mexican and i will try that method.

people recomend all sorts of silly things claiing it makes it easy
nothings easier then nothing and nothing is all that needs to be done
if your hairs not dry like african try the liquid, if it is dry, then use the bars
so, these are the result of nothing but going camping for a couple weeks
dreading can happen without even trying to dread, it is so easy that you don't have to try to do it at all
