Dreadlocks Neglect Method

Dreadlocks Neglect Method

First, watch this Neglect dreadlocks Video:

Neglect method (also called Natural or Organic method) is the most 100% natural healthy way for having dreadlocks. But it takes time and needs a lot of patience.

Rumor you will hear a lot about neglect method: neglect your hair and don't wash it and you will have dreadlocks.

WRONG and very wrong, because if you don't wash your hair, it will stink, you actually wash your hair on a regular basis, just like un-dreaded haired people do.

Neglect method, how to do it?

You basically don't do anything to your hair except washing it. It takes from 4 months to 1 year, your hair will then start to lock, you may help sectionning your locked hair by separating the dreads from the roots, and don't worry if you feel that you ripped some of your hair, it's OK.

It is important that you start sectionning your hair when it just start dreading or it will form  big congos (congos = when two dreads or more lock together).

Do this separation regularly, anytime you feel like your dreadlocks need it.  when your dreads reach maturity, you won't need to do the separation process.

Washing neglect dreadlocks

the best is to wash your neglected dreadlocks twice a week . Some "Neglect" people wash their hair less when they first start their dreadlocks journey, like once a week, that helps in forming the dreads faster, washing more than twice  a week will slow down the dreading process, but it is up to you.

But make sure you use only natural residue free dread Soap.

Neglect  dreadlocks maintenance ?

since it's called "the neglect method" then it means that you don't have to do much , Just separating the dreads and washing your hair. 

But you may Moisturize your dreadlocks sometimes to avoid dryness.

Dreadlocks twist and rip method

Dreadlocks twist and rip method 

The twist and rip method to make dreadlocks is one of the most used methods, because it works on pretty much all type of hair and  it's also an almost all natural dreading method IF you don't use any dread wax with it. 

But you have to know that once it's done and the dreads have locked, it's almost impossible to unlock them.. So if you choose this method, you have to know that if you changed your mind about having dreadlocks you may most probably have to cut your hair.

How to do the twist and rip method on your dreads:
1- Sectioning your hair: it depends on how thick you want your dreads (between 1/4 inch to 1 inch in thickness recommanded). Just carefull that hairs from 1 section dont cross hairs from another at the roots. you can use rubber bands but make sure you remove every single one the next day.

2-Twist and rip: 

•  twist the section then seperate the ends randomly in half
• pull the two parts away from eachother to force knots towards the roots BUT don't be too forcefull or you may cause dammage.
• keep retwisting and seperating and pulling
• you may do some palm roll when you're done.

In this video you can see how the twist and rip method works with dreadlocks:
