    Won't you help a brother out?

    I've always loved to mess with my hair, had a mohawk, fauxhawk, mullet, bald.
    I never did any designs, just cause everyone was doing it..thought it'd be lame.
    right now its short and I gel it up everyday, but thats the problem, i'm tired of putting on gel. It's a waste of time.. I hate washing my hands for 10 minutes after I gel it up, the gel I use costs about 7 bucks, and it's gone in about 2 weeks, I'll skip the math part but that money could go to supporting my neighborhood dealer.

    My hair is like any hispanic males.

    Hope you guys can help.


    Click on the pic to see my hair.

    I look stupid in that pic I know.

    Just focus on the hair.

  3. You know reading his thread is when I thought:

    "fuck it, imma do it."
     
  4. I've had my dreads for almost 4 years now and I've given a lot of people dreads, and I do maintenance too. If you have any questions or anything feel free to ask me.
     
  5. Um.. would you mind giving me a brief step by step?
     
  6. I've got all my dreads I recently cut off in a bag.

    How about I make you a wig, and you can skip the years and years of growth, development, and dedication it takes to grow dreads.

    :)
     
  7. Sounds great! Mail that wig over!

    Seriously, do they all have to be long?

    I'd rather have em short.
     
  8. Send me a dread so I can sew it into one of mine, hah.
     
  9. man I want one too, I will just glue it to my head:D
     
  10. "Dude is that a turd coming out of your head?"
     
  11. ahaha yes!

    I will deff put like a feather and maybe some kind of talisman tangled within it
     
  12. Haha, it's a secret blunt stash.
     
  13. Right.. So how do I start growing them?


    Gawd I love GC.
     
  14. To just quickly throw it out --

    Section out your hair how you want it to be dreaded, since you have kinky hair you shouldn't need to braid it. After you section it wash your hair with non-residue shampoo.
    Let your hair dry [overnight] and backcomb the next day with a metal tooth comb, like a pet comb or you can buy a dread comb online.
    Keep backcombing and palm rolling until you've got baby dreads.

    Knottyboy.com has a decent tutorial.

    We can all let this thread die now..
