Dreadlocks are not an instant thing, they are and ongoing process, a journey. Dreadlocks are not a hairstyle, it's more of a lifestyle. So before you decide to start a dreadlocks journey, you better be aware of many things, as to how to start dreadlocks, how to be prepared, dreadlocks maintenance, things to avoid..

These are the most used methods to do dreadlocks:
1- Neglect method:
First thing you must know is that this is the best way to have healthy dreadlocks, but choosing the method is a personal choice. Everyone is free in his hair, choosing a less natural dreadlocks method won't make you any less than the all natural way dreadheads.
Second thing: many people when they hear NEGLECT METHOD they think that you neglect your hair, in the way that you don't care about it or don't wash it..WRONG. THE NEGLECT METHOD MEANS: not using any natural or chemical method to form the dreads and let the hair lock on itself with The minimum of help.

4- Wool rubbing method:
dreadlocks wool method is a lot similar to the neglect method, or you can say it's a neglect method with just a little help. If you are going to do this method you must be very patient, and I mean VERY patient. because it is one of the most "annoying" methods, and it takes a lot of time before you start to see real dreadlocks in your hair. You you have to live with a crazy messy hair for at least a year, plus there is physical work you have to do almost everyday.
For all those reasons, many people choose other dreading methods, but it's still one of the best and healthiest ones.

5- Dread perming method:
Dread perming would be the easiest way to have instant dreadlocks. Even if I am personally 100% against this method for dreadlocks, but I have to talk about it. After all, everyone is free to choose the dreading method that they want.
the dreadlocks perming method is mostly done in beauty salons, and it costs around $300 - $400. your hair will be exposed to chemical product that makes is frizzy, then bounded again and retreated with other chemical process to form the dreadlocks.
you will for sure have nice beautiful very well shaped dreadlocks instantly.
Although it is better when it's done by professionals, dread perming can also be done at home. Home perm kit cost around $10 - $20; and give similar results.
