Interlocking is a great method for locking hair. Sisterlocs trademark locs and other thin locs often use this method because it makes the locs stronger. You do not need much product and interlocking works on most hair textures.
All you need is enough to grab.It doesn't have to be long, if it is shaved in the back the other kinky twists will cover that
yes they have tons including the herbal essences brand which has a pin straight shampoo which elimininates any frizz tames waves and curls i have wavy hair and it works amazing on my hair

yes its red and white blood cells that have died inside you and the vessels and systems they are in lead them to these locations
Actually, hair and nails are made up of dead skin cells that have been filled with keratin. They are not dead blood cells.
nothing
if you go to a salon you will be ripped off
they charge a huge amount make a total mess and schedule many follow ups that never result in dreads
dreads are free
you shouldn't except in the very beginning just enough to get sections to hold together
once they stay together and begin to dread you should never twist them again
over twisting has resulted in dreads being twisted right off
No, dreadlocks are not wrong. However, acceptance towards different cultures and styles differs greatly from country to country, and even within parts of countries. For example, people in a rural small town in the United States would be less exposed to the many beautiful cultures and styles around the globe and might be somewhat shocked if they saw someone with dreadlocks.
Yes It does my hair is silky and shiny because I use it
Trust the pros. My hair is soooooooooo soft. I use it. On my......well, you'll have to guess. It starts with the letter " C "-then U and S, T, O, M, E, R, S!!!!! Yes!!! CUSTOMERS!
Yes, vinegar makes your hair very silky. I never tried it before, because my hair doesn't need. but I read about it. Put some vinegar on your hair while showering, then rince your hair. It makes it smooth and shiny!Yes, fake dreadlocks exist. You can get dreadlock extensions at some salons that attach to your hair. They are not permanent, and are not cheap.
Also, what some would consider to be "fake" dreadlocks, is getting a dread-perm at a salon. The hair is knotted using chemicals and perm roller things. Not only is this expensive, but it has to be re-done every few months, and your hair isn't really dreaded. Dread-permed hair will not mature and lock up like it will with other natural methods.
Its Better to Use synthetic cause it will last more longer & Human hair is usually for regular twists & human hair is better to use with micro-bits - Love Cupcake :* Mwuah
Curly hair are usually the best kind of hair to make dreadlocks with. Short hair might be a problem though. If you want the thick dreadlocks to stay together, you have to have at least 5 or 6 inches of hair, and the longer it is, the better they will hold together. never use wax
dreads thicken over time and can "congo" or grow together to thicken
thin dreads to start can end up thick years down the road
you absolutely can wash your kinky twist wash them like you normally wash your hair
apply moisturizer and your hair looks as if you just came from the shop
While the impression has been given that walking around picking out an afro throughout the whole day is how it's supposed to be, truthfully, you only need to pick it out when you feel it needs some primping.
Make sure you pick it out after you awake because sleeping on it likely has made it seem smaller than what it is, and do so after anytime you lie down on it, or maybe you or someone else has put their hand(s) on your head throwing off its shape; you can pick it out if you feel you want to groom it back to style.
We have all had that annoying moment where you spend ages prepping your hair with stuff that claims to help keep hair straight, and if your like me, you wan the best to keep your hair poker straight. I've had the trouble and I've had the nightmares and stresses over my tresses, and I have consulted my hair dresser countless times and so I now bring you these tips on how to keep your straightened hair in tip top condition.
My first piece of advice would be to invest in a good, top quality pair of straightening irons. I've used many different brands of straighteners, from Babyliss to Remington, but they usually leave my hair looking fluffy and it usually looks like a really half hearted job. Also, the Babyliss straighteners ruined my hair, giving it split ends and making it static beyond repair. However, I will always stay faithful to my GHD hair straighteners. They are possibly the best brand out there. They heat up in six seconds and they sail across your hair, leaving it very smooth and silky. So there is my first point: good straighteners.
Next, you will need a very good range of products that keep static hair and frizz at bay, and I would reccomend, for pre-treatment, Aussie Haircare's Miracle Moist shampoo and conditioner, which stops hair being dry, frizzy and static. Also, using their 3 Minute Miracle treatment conditioner helps when you use it once or twice a week. If you leave it on for 3 minutes your hair will be noticeably straighter and in better condition. Once you have washed your hair, put a serum, such as Frizz-Ease, on the hair and comb it through whilst still wet. This will reduce frizz and static.
Another tip for keeping the hair straight is to straighten it after blow drying it straight. If you leave hair to dry naturally and then try to straighten it, it's going to be fluffy and an absolute nightmare to straighten. Instead, spray on some heat defence spray and blow dry it in sections, not all at one. Pin your hair up and blow dry it in sections, holding a brush under the piece of hair and the dryer on top and pull it down. This is not only good for straightening, but it actually dries your hair way faster than just going at the whole head of hair like a mad woman!
Once you have done the drying, I suggest you pin all your hair up again and straighten it in sections. If your not lucky enough to own GHD's, leave your straighteners on for a while so they get really really hot. Use a straightening spray like Tigi Bedhead spray, which not only helps to keep the hair straight, but smells amazing. Brush the hair after straightening it and go careful. Don't just go crazy fast. Do it slowly. If you go too fast you will pull out the hairs and don't curve the straighteners, as hot irons will leave a kink in your hair which can sometimes take forever to straighten out. Once your done, use a fixing wax and smooth it over the layers of hair. Reach all the layers as you don't want the top layer to stay straight and the rest to go wavy and frizzy. Also, only use a little amount. I would say use even less than a pea sized amount, but be realistic. Don't get the tiniest little bit. Too much will make your hair look greasy, and too little will not even touch the hair. After this, spray a VERY light mist of hairspray around the head and then leave it.
Don't fiddle with your hair or brush it or stroke it or anything like that. This will kink it, make it look greasy and increase the amount of static. Also, don't touch it if you've just washed your hands as water and straight hair do not get on very well. If you are going to be going out in the rain or high wind, regardless of whether you have an umberella/hood, don't bother straightening it. Most weathers will purely just rape your hair and make you look like you just got dragged through a hedge backwards. If your going out in hot weather, get a heat defence spray that has UV protection in it to prevent humidity damage.
hair usually grows an inch a month. Actually, hair grows an average of half an inch a month.
In theory, if they are extremely small (skinny), they could break off solely because they are made of only a few hairs. However, it is unlikely you could create a dreadlock out of such a small amount of hair. I conservatively estimate that any dreadlock with a diameter (width) greater than 1/8 inch can not break off from the sole purpose of it being small.
However,
dreadlock breakage caused from malnourishment, failure to take proper care of your locks, or some sort of damage to the lock can happen to any size dreadlock. If your dreads are breaking or falling off, you are either doing something very wrong, or you are balding.
excessive maintenance (rubbing rolling crochet) can cause breakage
Yes, only if they are 100% human hair though, but I don't think the chemicals would be very good for them.
Sew them together in a couple of places. They will eventually just merge together as one, but keeping their beautiful shape of the 2 strand twist.
No, but it is the most common hair type of people of African descent.
There are various ways that you can make your grow. You should wrap a plastic bag around your head after putting a handful of mayonnaise, coca butter, and olive oil on your head. If you do this every night for four weeks. You hair will grow about 3 inches long.
Also use Motions products if you have course hair.
Well all that I know is hair is different, African American hair needs moisture and pH retention. I use Bond and Vitamin Restof by DNA Superb. You can get it at related links below here. I live in Canada and originally heard about it from my Korean girlfriend she uses it on her hair when she is swimming and it protects her hair from getting frizzy matted and damaged so I tried it and 8 inches of growth later I am still using it. It protects my hair well.
go to a barber or hair stylist and get it cut into the classic round afro shape shampoo your hair 2 or 3 times a week depending on how dry it gets and condition every day after you get out of the shower while the fro is still moist use an afro comb to pick it out and remove all knots then pat it down into the round shape and keep doing that for as long as you want a healthy fro. And don't use any other hair products other than shampoo and conditioner unless maybe you absolutely need some anti friz or something because everything else will just damage and unwantedly manipulate your hair into a mess
