How long does my hair have to be to start dreads with this method?

You can start with 2 inches and the hair can be as long as you want it.

Backcombing is probably the fastest way to get permanent dreads. Because the hair looks like dreads right after they are finished, there is also an estimated time of 3 months to lock up. This is the least amount of time out of all the methods.
