I've always had my hair cut short but i wanna try a new look. Whats the whole process like??I have short hair but i want to start growing Dreads. Whats the process like?
Well, it's a commitment at first. You have to be careful not to do anything that could cause your locks to unravel or become undone (it's not that difficult to avoid). It is definitely an experience. You'll encounter others who are just starting or have been in the process and they'll approach you so quickly and talk to you about yours. It's like a new little world where people with dreads can identify with each other. Everyone has a story to tell about their tribulations and successes, the length of time it took to lock, the styles and stylists/locticians, products you use, et cetera. At first, some people that do not have locs may question your motives, but after it starts growing and taking form, it seems like you become a magnet to those who say, ';Your dreads are so pretty'; or ';I was thinking about doing that'; or ';I would have done dreadlocks, but I couldn't...'; and things of that sort. There are plenty of resources for those who have or want dreads: how-to videos on YouTube, blogs, websites (like Nappturality.com), groups (like on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, et cetera). Choose any search engine and type in ';dreadlocks locs dreads'; and that will start you off (or go to the sites I previously mentioned.';I have short hair but i want to start growing Dreads.

It's a wonderful experience and process! What texture is your hair, it must be free of chemicals, then depending on the method you choose, you would then start the process of not bothering the hair to much as it goes through the initial locking process. Locks are all about patience-that's why many people see it as a spiritual journey. Everyone locks are going to look unique to them, no-ones look the same. Happy locking if you do decide!! I am reconsidering, may start in January.
mmm, it's something about dreads that I think are soo sexy.lol but my friend had dreads.. It took her awhile to get them just how she wanted them. She had to go through a lotta crap to get the perfect dreads.... But it paid off, because she loved them in the end, and she looked so cute with them. She had to use special shampoo and stuff for it though. You have to take good care of them. ;)
