Introduce Yourself

Thanks for that guys! I'll upload photos soon Where can I buy dread soap or a natural alternative in the UK. I've read slot about Baking soda but I want to get all the tre semme pantenne type crap outta my hair. I'm all about doing this as green as possible.

what kris means is seperate randomly when u do the rips so theres different hairs and ammounts of hairs in each hand every time and only retwist 1 outta every 5-10 pulls

thats about it ppl ive given a 2 minute explanatiin and they made beautiful dreads quickly its so easy and way faster then backcomb

dont try to get it too super tight either tight enough to stay but nit so tight they cant move and loosen and rearange

Starting My journey

Introduce Yourself

So after being sucked in by a lot of the dreadhead hq crap I was ready to get my dreads. But luckily I trusted my instinct and didn't. Two things bothered me. One, why should dreads cost that much?! And Two, something told me not to put crap in my hair lol. I'm glad now I found this site I didn't. Rip off merchants!So I'm effectively set to goI am having my hair sectioned by a mate (hairdresser) because I like the look of fairly even dreads. I've decided to TnR my dreads to get them started. I have hair down to my shoulders.Can anyone recommend a video on TnR or give me a guide to doing it? I'm getting some friends in to have a dread party type get together. Involve them in my journey and help them understand my want for them. But I need to be able to show them what to do.

Some people get fixated on the idea beyond all logical reason as well. I have a friend who's been contemplating dreads and having seen yours SE I think he's converted. But even after reading horror stories. And basically reading half the site. He still said to me. "I recon a little to giddy them up won't hurt."I resorted to repeatedly banging my head on the table until I had a brain wave!I cut the hair from a Barbie doll or two I got from a bootsale. And I TnR dreaded it and then added a small amount of wax to 'tame it a bit.'I am going to get it to Matt up as best as possible and when I'm done and I've added more wax as necessary and it's all dreaded. I'm going to challenge him to wash out all the wax. We will then cut the dread and look inside. If this works I will recreate the experiment with a real hair sample and YouTube it. And of course I will be using dreadheadhq wax and shampoo. Followed by bs and acv for a fair test.

I think the main reason why people do things like this is because they run into the first site and go "OMG I WANT DREADS!" then they run off and do this stupid crap without doing more research. IMO You should always research something that's going to change your life/look in a permanent way, instead of following the lemmings off the cliff. I was lucky that I ran into this site while I was obsessively researching dreadlocks.

My mate was going to knot up tomorrow with a dreadheadhq kit, but saw my new dreads and doubt was planted. When he saw Your dreads SE he was converted on the spot. I'm soooo thankfully we sound this site before we did ours.Problem is 30% of the folks searching online start at YouTube. And there us a lot of info there that's incorrect. Maybe se should start a viral smear campaign

he contradicts himself in evrry sentence for someone who lies constantly hes not very good at it

but then again alotta ppl dont think so they just believe what he says even if it makes no sense

Aaron"TheLegend" said:

I like how he says "neglect" dreads are scary....but then says "natural" dreads are created from Backwards combing and products added to them later on........WHAT!?!?!?!

I thought Natural/neglect were the SAME thing. This dude....has some issues.
