Dreadlocks Journey: 6 Important questions to ask Before Starting

Dreadlocks Journey: Before Starting your journey

Now before you start your wonderful dreadlocks journey (and yes it will be wonderful I am sure). there are few things you need to know. As in starting any project in life, the first thing you do is collecting information.

Or let's say that there are few questions you need to ask yourself and find the good answers.

1-What does dreadlocks mean?

wikipedia says: "Dreadlocks, also called locks, dreads, or Jata (Hindi), are matted coils of hair." I wrote a full post about what you need to know about dreadlocks here.

2-What is the word "dreadlocks" to me?

is it just a different hairstyle or haircut that you fancy trying? is it just the look of the natty dreads that attracts you? or are you a real dreadhead willing to start a true wonderful dreadlocks journey?

3-Am I able to have dreadlocks with my hair type?

Dreadlocks are for everyone from all races, regardless to your hair type. you don't have to be a black African to have dreads like many people think. But still you have to know everything about your hair, your hair texture, your hair strenght... that will help you a lot in choosing what dreading method to use.

4-Wich dreadlocks method will work best for me?

As I said it depends a lot on your hair type, if your hair is not strong enough, some methods may damage your hair a little bit.

5-Dreadlocks products??

You can find some here and there. But a personal advice I give you "NO".
 stick to natural stuff, if you want to have beautiful healthy dreadlocks avoid using any non-natural product.

6-Am I patient enough?

It's not gonna be easy, it takes time, so you must be very patient, don't give up. Everytime you feel like you're gonna give up on your dreadlocks journey, think about the result, picture yourself with nice long dreadlocks, browse the net and see other people's dreadlock journeys, it will motivate you.

Peace and Love
