| What should
I expect when I start my dreads with short hair? You will have very big twist. You may need to use more than one pin to hold the twist together. Your dreads will take 2-6 months to lock up. |

| How long is
the dreading process? And how long until my dreads look like dreads? Depending on your hair length it could take an hour or two to put the dreads in. Your dreads should lock up in 2-6 months. |

| Where can
I get my hair dreaded? Most salons can make dreads for you with this method. If the stylist is not familiar with this method, print out the instructions for the stylist. |

| How can I
use beeswax/honey/Aloe
Vera/etc. to dread my hair? Regular beeswax is very brittle, it will be really hard to put on the dreads unless you melt it and then put it in. But as soon as it dries it's just going to chunk off, and leave little pieces behind, that will hold dirt and make black spots in your dreads. Honey is very sticky and it is not very thick so it will just coat the hair like gelatin would and not help hold the knots together in the dreads. It also attracts bugs and dirt. The only
thing Aloe Vera can be used for
in dreads is to condition them, but it will not help the dreading process
when the dreads are new. |
