Anyone with dreadlocks?

[starmom]

I always thought you start with shorter hair and never brush it or wash it, and rub sheep dung in it until it's long and dready. Is this an authentic way to do it or have I been mistaken my whole life?

Are you joking?! Of course you don't do this....

Something gives me the feeling that all the hardcore Jamaican guys don't use special shampoo.

No, they don't!! But they also don't use shampoos with all of the chemical ingredients in them.

My gf and her friend who is going to school to be a hair stylist are doing it for me. At least most of it. I just talked to her and we have pretty conflicting schedules so its going to be done at 2 different times during the weekend

Your gonna a great time!! Just think about whether you want skinny dreads or whether you want fatty dreads... I have a feeling that since your hair and thicker and wavy that fatty dreads might look better....
