Not sure what to do.

Dreading Methods

i read this 10 minutes after i washed my hair and now theyre all loose and shitty looking haha. oh well, trial and error i suppose. i'm just gonna cut em all off and start over using the natural method. Ivan said:

natural is a great way to go bro, but if you don't wanna wait so long you can choose the backcomb or twist & rip method. i use dr. bronner's bar soap too so maybe you can find that and wash your hair. btw, if you choose to backcomb i found that if you wash too early after they're freshly done, they'll unravel. just some advice but good luck again man.

Not sure what to do.

Dreading Methods

right on people. i like this forum, it's very friendly. i'm gonna get some soap and wash it tomorrow, and i guess just leave it how it is and see how it goes (i took the rubberbands out)thanks again everyone. if anyone has any more advice i'm always open to suggestion.

Not sure what to do.

Dreading Methods

thank you both for your responses. i'm definitely not going back to her. here's a few pictures of what she did.

so since they're already like this, should i just leave them be as they are and let them dread on there own? (with the exception of washing every few days) or should i start all over?

Not sure what to do.

Dreading Methods

to start, i am a complete noob, i've done some research but not as much as i should have. yesterday i went to a salon (actually it was some ladys house) to get dreadlocks and she used a method which seemed like a mix of backcombing and twist and rip. i couldn't really tell because there was no mirror and she just said her method was called "locking with a tool". this process took 3 1/2 to 4 hours and was incredibly painful. this is where i'm a little sketchy. she told me to come back every 6 weeks to get them retightened which costs $60 each time ($80 if they grow an inch) and that i should not shampoo or even get them wet for the first 6 weeks. so i guess my question is, does this sound right? or did i just get myself sucked into a money grabbing scheme? she didn't use any wax or anything, just some hairspray. let me know if you need more details or a picture. thanks for reading.
