Oh Don't feel silly I just started mine too and I felt so stressed at first but u just gotta relax and enjoy
actualy u did an extra step haha an unesacary one if u have bands in them its ok to leave em in over night but id take em out tomoro next daty at the very latest
I'm realizing that I know a lot about the dreading process and the methods to use, but what I don't know is what to do after I actually get them. Do I wrap them up or something when I sleep? Or do I need to wash them? Should I put something in them?
I'm a bit panicked because they're almost done and I don't know what to do!!
Thanks in advance!!
they may try but u got thelaw on your side

So no kit, no salon! lol
The real thing I'm worried about it the fact that I'm going to school so I need to be them to be presentable, that's why I'm kind of on edge about just leaving it. But if I were to not use a kit, which method would you say is the best for getting dreads that look like dreads the fastest?

salon=disaster guaranteeed
kit= disaster
you must dread them yourself but not using a klit
best way to dread
stop combing wait for dreads
2nd best way use just your hands do twist n rip
no prodyucts no gross wax no rubber bands
the other sites u read do it all wrong
forget all about kits
do not spend money
thats just a scam
all u need to do is not comb and dreads happen
its that easy

Just do it yourself and save your money. Remember, no one will EVER care for your hair as well as you yourself can and will. It's so easy to start locs yourself, but many people are afraid to do it because it's something new and different to them, so they believe so-called 'experts' who trick them into thinking they CAN'T do it on their own, when they can. I know, because I fell into that same trap of thinking I couldn't take care of my hair myself, that I 'needed' someone else to do it (when really, it's the other way around, those people need OTHERS to keep giving them money). Not just with locs, either. For most of my life, the lies of others had me convinced that I couldn't take care of my own hair, that my hair required someone else to do it (and really, all those years people were really just messing up my hair).
Salons and 'stylists' and 'experts' run a good game, too. They convince people they NEED to let them do their hair for them, mess up people's hair, then turn around and charge more money to 'fix' problems when really they're often just making the situation worse.
Whoooo, sorry to go off on a rant, but I've had many bad experiences with other people handling my hair. Truly, it's a wonder I even have any hair at all.
But yeah, start your locs yourself and save your money.
That sounds really terrible. From everything I'm hearing salons are definitely out! I haven't heard one good thing about them from everyone I've asked.

A friend of mine went to a salon to fix her roots,they charged her an arm and a leg and what they did to separate her roots was cutting off where they were sticking together...she ended up with a lot of tiny hair all over her roots that couldnt lock anywhere!..it was terrible!!
So no kit, no salon! lol
