Introduce Yourself

Starting dreadlocks is seriously easy.

Step one: Toss the brushes and conditioners
Step two: Keep your hair clean on a regular basis.
Step three: (Extremely Optional) Pull the sections away from each other at least once a week.
Seriously just go for it.

Introduce Yourself

Most of what I could say has already been said by other people so here is all I can add to the thread.

The sooner you stop caring about what other people think about you the sooner you feel better about yourself and the sooner the negativity stops affecting you.

Your thoughts of yourself is what matters.If you want to head dreadlocks, go for it.

Is there anyway I can speed up the dreading process?

Introduce Yourself

Seriously, dreadlocks don't form overnight. Your hair will form sections first and then the sections will begin to look like dreadlocks.

You are two weeks into allowing your hair to form dreadlocks. Be patient with yourself.
