we all shaved or started over dreadheadhq/knottyboy dreads the right way, wonder why?
Dreading Methods
I first had a hairdresser section my hair and then my sister backcombed them... so much time and energy for nothing. I was recommended to put wax in them, so i got a jar of the dreadhead crap. People, if you are even slightly considering this, let me save you hours of agony: DO NO PUT STICKY CRAP IN YOUR HAIR. I don't care if it's preanut butter, gum or wax, it's a bad idea. You'll spend hours bent over a sink with a reeking jar of apple cider vinegar and piping hot water running through your hair.In the end I had that first set for a month and a half, then brutally ripped them out. They were really tight, so tight that they got too thin, and despite all my tireless toil there were still little balls of wax in them. F*ing gross.At this point, 6 months later, I haven't even given much of a thought as what to do with my hair. It's as if that first big mistake taught me the most important lesson, that it's all about the natural state of being. My hair still looks completely normal, but after months without shampoo (best thing I ever did for myself was throw that stuff out) it knots really easy and tangles up into locks all the time, some of which stay for a day and then disappear or some which stick around. It's a constant state of flux.If you want dreads, the best advice I can give you is to forget about it, and simply throw your comb, shampoo, and conditioner away (save some condition which would make these necessary...). In a few months, you'll thank yourself.Been following this community since my interest in dreads sparked, but never posted till now. Hi everyone, I'm phil
