My dreadlocks are too tight and too big, what should I do?
Todays faq dreadlock question is:
All of my dreads get bigger towards the bottom and then get so tight that I can’t work with them. How do I prevent/solve this? It wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t very obvious and noticeable. I have one dread so big at the bottom that I’ve contemplated cutting it out

How long hair do I need to have to start dreadlocks?
This is a very common question that people that are interested in dreadlocks keep on asking.
Well there is not really a strait answer to this one I’m afraid. It all depends on how thick your hair is, what technice you want to use when you will do your dreadlocks and who will make your dreadlocks (yourself or as a loctitian)
If you are getting dreadlocks done on your own hair I would say that you need 10-15cm minimum if you have caussian hair, if you have affro textured hair 5 cm works great to start dreadlocks. Remember the longer your hair is the better forming dreadlocks you will have in the future.
The shorter your hair is the more you will have dreadlocks that are standing out a lot from your head. You need at least the length of longer than sholder length if you don’t want dreadlocks that are pointing strait out from your head from the beginning. Althou that they will point out from your head doesn’t last very long.
