I have very thick slippery hair, will it dread?

It will probably be very hard to dread that hair type with this method. You probably will want to go with a method that has to lock up, like backcombing.

There are two types of thick hair

1. Thick strands- usually Asian people have this kind of hair, it is harder for this kind of hair to actually lock up, but if you use the backcombing method with a good wax, you won't have many problems. Neglect, and twist and rip will not work well with this hair type.

2. Lots of hair- people who have curly have usually have lots of it. The stands are usually thin or normal size, and the dread great. A person with this hair will have no problems getting dreads, with any method.

Twist & rip is a really good method if you have curly hair, you will have good results.

You shouldn't because when you twist & rip you are actually pulling out the hair, and it won't be growing all in one direction anymore it will be random, so the curly hair will be random and it won't have a chance to curl one way.

While your dreads are new you will probably want to wear a swim cap, but after they mature you will not need one.

The best way to tighten them is to palm roll them. Palm rolling has amazing affects.
