Yo, so I'm trying to start dreads

(Shut up)

Some people I talked to a couple weeks ago told me to simply just stop combing my hair and use a special shampoo, but I find that hard to believe. They had great dreads, though and they aren't the first to tell me the same thing while having awesome dreads. So it's been awhile and I feel the back of my hair starting to knot up a bunch, but every video I see on YT is talking about twist and rip, back combing, etc. Any advice on what to do? Also, I'm a white guy. Not sure how much of a difference that makes

(Inb4 don't be white and have dreads)

first of all, if you wash your dreads, they won't smell
get them backcombed by someone that has done it before
twist'n'rip is okay for thin dreads and freeform will most likely not work with european hair
just stop using conditioner/shampoo( don't use silicone) and wash your hair with shower gel or dread soap/shampoo a couple of days before your hair gets dreaded and after

Thanks For the input! Dudes who told me freeform was best were some of my black friends, so that's why I was curious. Is silicone same thing as dread wax? I've heard alot of people say to avoid it, but a few say it helped them.

I imagine dreads are different for each individual, like most thing. And some of the white people I talked to didn't give me much to go by, and the black people I've talked to seems like it's just different for them. I swear one of my homies had perfect dreads in like 5 months lol, but I'm that white boii

Also, about the washing, that's obvious. I heard soaking in baking soda is a good thing, but special shampoo should do the trick. It just takes a while to wash and dry is all.

Dreads are fucking nasty
Please go to reddit

I think you would fit in better there

Yeah, I got an account not long ago and they're more willing to have a real conversation over there than here. Probably will in the future.

Hurry then, you smelly cunt, They're waiting to upvote your shitty matted hair.

>>12603590
black hair is a complete different story, they can freeform easily yeah, thats why you should go for backcombing
silicones are in modt shampoos and conditioners and you don't want that, because you want your hair to be kinda rough (try washing it with curd soap, you'll instantly feel a difference)
also avoid everything put in there, no wax or anything because that is what makes them smell
the only thing different in maintenance is that you need longer for your hair to dry and that you have to keep up with it growing (tighten roots), else you can treat it exactly like normal hair,you can even go back to normal shampoo after they locked up properly if you want to

if you can't get dreads just by fucking around with your fingers in your hair then just give up. all that's going to happen is you'll be ugly as fuck and get hospitalized when the mold in the middle starts mutating

if you had the kind of hair for dread locks then you'd probably already know someone who knows how to do it right

Not combing your hair wont help.
I havent combed my hair for more than a month now and it still looks exactly the same as id did the first day. I have long thick mane and Im using just cheap shampoos without conditioners or balsam.
Maybe with some special shampoo it could work but not combing alone doesnt do shit.
Im white btw.
