What should I expect when I start my dreads with short hair?

It will take a long time for the dreads to form. It's really hard to get this method to work on short hair. I recommend trying a different method, or waiting until your hair grows longer.

You should have good results within three months, and it will be painful to pull your hair apart because there's so much hair.

Twist and Rip- it will take six months to a year to form dreads, and they lock up on the way.

There are a list of salons with web pages in the links section there is also a list of salons in the methods section. But not many salons will help you make twist & rip dreads.

You can try posting on message boards to see if there is a dread head in your area that would be interested. And if you are interested in helping someone out with their dreads email us and we will recommend you when people email us. But the twist & rip method is more of a do it yourself method. You can also check the salons section in the links section for salons in your area.
