The journey of my dreadlocks.
Dreadlocks are a mat of hair created by a bunch of knots. This can be done completely naturally by putting your comb in the garbage. The natural method does not work with all hair so you may have to help the process along by doing Twist and Rip or backcombing. Creating dreadlocks with methods such […]
So you want awesome looking dreadlocks, right? I know I do! If choosing the method to put in your locks isn’t confusing enough, everybody seems to have different methods to maintain their dreadlocks to keep them looking at their best.
