How to dreadlock your hair!\r\nFirstly, I've had dreadlocks twice. Once with long dreads and once (here) with short dreads. So, from experience, I'd like to dispel a few dreadlock myths. ~ YOU CAN'T WASH YOUR HAIR WITH DREADLOCKS ~ Wrong. Infact, you need to wash your hair regularly! If you don't wash your dreads, the grease makes the knots slip out. Plus you get a smelly head. And fewer friends. ~ YOU NEED AFRO HAIR TO HAVE DREADLOCKS ~ Also wrong. You just need clean, dry hair and lots of knotting. The point of a dreadlock is to matt the hair into matted locks of whatever length and width you like. ~ YOU HAVE TO SHAVE YOUR HEAD TO GET RID OF DREADLOCKS~ Wrong as well. Both times I had dreads I brushed them out. I wont lie, it took a LOT of time and effort, but it's possible. You need lots of conditioner and patience! You will need to start from the tips and tease apart the dreads (it helps to cut the dreadlocks a LITTLE bit shorter in order to start the process) and begin adding conditioner as you tease. Slowly but surely the hair will come apart and you will be able to begin brushing it straight. It WILL take longer than it took to first dreadlock the hair. Or you could cheat and shave your head ;-P SO! This tutorial shows me dreading medium length hair so the dreads came out shortish and only took 5 hours. I kept my fringe/bangs and had a green undercut and added beads for fun. But remember you can do whatever style you want: Chunky dreads or slender dreads. Natural colours or dyed crazy colours. Long or short. Just take the time to do it properly. Finally, dreadlocks take a lot of maintenance in the first few weeks and months, so only dreadlock your hair if you are serious about it. There's nothing worse than spending hours and hours dreadlocking your hair only to find that you can't be bothered looking after them. However, after about 6 months dreadlocks are extremely easy to look after.
