I put what country they're from because I want to show how much of a worldwide thing Dreads are. I'm also seeing mostly Americans and Jamaicans in this thread. I also notice a lot of Scandiavians have dreads, possibly as a homage to the vikings.

Because this dude knows what he is talking about...

Nature and dreadlocks

General Talk

Hmm, that was really philosophical. Really deep stuff.I was just wondering why it happens, not why we choose to do it. I was just curious as to what the purpose of the adaptation in the human race was. soaringeagle said:

thats exactly whhat i always say..
and jester..
we have dreads because we are natural humans living as close to our natural way as possible..
dreads are the natural state of hair its whats nmeant to be when you stop all unnatural processes, thats why tio me unnatural processes like backcombing and crochet make no sence tro me for making what nature creates naturaly

(and beautifuly)

Nature and dreadlocks

General Talk

*jaw drops* That's absolutely right. Even after backcombing and other methods, they unravel and knot up by themselves. So those methods are just to control sectioning.Now it brings me to this question, why do we have dreadlocks? Why did humans adapt to grow them?

What methods did these guys use?

Dreading Methods

You can tell that the first guy I posted does not use wax. Maybe he could be using an aloe gel.

Second guy? I only see one...

Oh and wax locks last as long as you want to put up with them..

Dreading Methods

He's had them since 2002 O_OIf they are waxed, then those are lasting a long, long time for wax.I could see the second guy as having wax. They look waaaaay too perfect. Oniondog said:

I'd say backcomb + wax..
I notice how you said they look almost 'perfect', and how he went from not having dreads to having instant dreads.. Wax for sure.

What methods did these guys use?

Dreading Methods

I'm sure these guys use different methods, but I'm just wondering...How did this guy grow dreads so fast? I remember I saw videos of him right before he had them with regular looking hair, so they can't be the natural method. I'm speculating if they might be twist and rips. They went from touring to him suddenly having dreads in a music video. (

) IDK maybe I'll just cantact him via their website.

This is him right before dreads BTW (far left)

...And how are these so... perfect? Crocheted? They almost look like braids.

Note: I'm not saying "How can I get my dreads to look like this?" I'm just curious as to what methods they used, if it's possible to find out by just looking.
