I am Gabriel =)

Wattup people! So this is my first time here. My name is Gabriel, I don't have dreadlocks yet but I decided to have a neglect dreadlocks journey. Oh and I'm also asian(Filipino) my natural hair type is straight and wavy when its long but my hair is really short right now. its been a week now since i started not doing anything to my hair besides washing. I would appreciate it if you guys give me some tips. I hope i meet some good friends here with some crazy dreadlocks. There's no backing up now. So excited to see where my patience will lead me.Peace everybody! One love!Btw check out my picture below on the attach file. My hair is really short right now. Is that good or bad?

Welcome!

Well, your hair is too short to see any progress, but that is not either good nor bad.

Having long hair does not guarantee faster dreading, so it comes down to the same thing - wash, wait, and separate when needed. You are saved from separating for some time by having short hair, tho.

Just be patient with both your hair growth and dreading, and it will happen.

Thank you! I wish i've done this before when my hair was long but its okay, i think i have the patience.

no it wont affect it and it wont matter (much) if u start or wait

if u start now u might get lucky and se dreads shorter then typical

if u wait u still might have to wait months for dreads anyway

so u might as well start and get used to the routines

No reason to not use it if you want to. But never leave the spray on for more than 2 hours. The salt will keep drying your hair and scalp out for hours and hours. So only use it the days you are going to wash. Spray it on, let it sit for an hour or 2, and the wash it off. You can make other sprays for your hair that don't have salt in them. But those should be used sparingly, cause the oil might delay some progress

yea u can and it might just help form dreads sooner but make sure your not over drt]=ying it out
