Seriously. Just stop brushing/combing your hair and stop using conditioner when you wash your hair. Your hair will form into dreadlocks without any help from you or anyone else.

If you think your hair is to soft make some salt water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the salt water onto your hair. Let your hair dry and rinse the salt out of your hair an hour or two later. The salt water will make your hair coarser and more prone to knotting.

Also, if you can't be patient with yourself and/or other people. Don't allow your hair to form into dreadlocks and/or don't allow someone else to start them for you. Having dreadlocks shows other people you are willing to be patient.

Also portfolios. People who are proud of their work should be willing to show you pictures of it or let them come into the salon and watch them work while they're doing the service you want.

Good man. thats what ima do

The trick to a good salon experience no matter WHAT type of service you're getting done (cut, color, style) depends on being upfront about what you want. Hunt the product you want to use and bring it in with you. (Aloe is nice, I also like a product I'm using from Oyin right now. It's very light, washes right out and smells yum. My only beef is I have to order it online.) Call ahead and make sure they a) have experience with Caucasian hair or are willing to do the research and b) are willing to use your own products. If they give you a bunch of noise about having to use the products provided by the salon hang it up. You want someone who's willing to work with you to do your hair the way YOU want it done.
