Once the lady finished interlocking she moved on to styling my hair and I was not impressed with this at all. I personally feel that interlocking my dreadlocks was the worst thing I could ever do! My dreadlocks had big knots from interlocking and I noticed they were also holding residue build up. At this point I just wanted to cut my hair but instead I decided to try to find a Loctician one more time.
After looking online I ended up in the right hands of Dreadlock Central. I was so impressed with how they crocheted my dreadlock just the way I was used to back home! No products used and no interlocking dreads. I am very happy with Dreadlock Central and will absolutely go back again to them for crocheted maintenance. I personally despise this method, and for good reason!

Six inches is ideal. You may be able to dread hair with as little as three inches, but it will take longer for them to settle. Is it better to start dreads short or long? Dreadlocks grow slowly, much slower than straight hair, so that combined with shrinking means your going to have short dreadlocks for a long time. But obviously the sooner you start , the sooner your dreadlocks will have matured, and even if you wait for your hair to grown longer before starting they'll still shrink.
Can you dread 1 inch hair? Dread Braiding. Can you get dreads wet everyday? So what do you do if it's not time to wash your dreads and you need a shower?

It the end, palm roll the dreads to give them a round shape and tame some of the frizz. The crocheting method is when the hair is sectioned and then a crochet needle is used to form knots around the locs.
Sectioned medium to large pieces of hair. Pass the crochet needle in and out of the locs. The beginning of the process starts with coils being wrapped around sectioned strands of hair. A chemical relaxer is then applied. This will break down the bonds of the hair. After the relaxer has worked its way throughout the hair, it will be rinsed out and then neutralized. Sisterlocks and brotherlocks are miniature locs that are interwoven together with the difference that sisterlocks are usually a little smaller than brotherlocks.
The way you make these locs is by taking two strands of hair and twisting them together. Basically you would layer one on top of the other, over and over again. This method requires you to twirl small pieces of hair into coils with a comb.
For maintenance, you should always twist them in the same direction and over time they will form into locs. Braids are usually made by attaching extensions over the natural hair. If you leave the box braids un-manipulated, they will eventually turn into dreadlocks.
Dread extensions are the ideal way to go for those who want to rock the temporary dreadlock style without waiting months or years for them to mature. Interlocking is commonly used by loctitians once they have finished forming a dread regardless of the method they used to start them. This will hold and tightly secure the dread at the top of the scalp. Interlocking is also known as latching when a crochet needle with a latch hook is used to pull the loc through the root. Palm rolling is not a dreading method per se but is a technique used for maintaining dreads during the phases before they reach maturity.
No matter which method you use to start your dreads, they will all go through the same stages of maturity. The main difference with respect to hair types is the time it takes them to mature completely- this can range from as little as 1 year in kinky, curly, or coarse hair to 3 years in straight, silky, or wavy hair.
The baby stage, also known as the starter stage, is the period of time when you first start your dreads. If you got your hair locked professionally, your hair will be parted evenly. For the first few months, the parts will be obvious.
You should take advantage of this stage This stage lasts a minimum of three months with many hair types but can last up to nine months or more. The hair is much more fragile. Re-twisting should be limited to once every 6 to 8 weeks. The hair will start to knot in parts- it will be thicker in some places, and loose in others.
Some will look perfect while others will look weird and oddly shaped. The new growth near the roots will look messy. Perhaps you will experience a lot of frizz all over. This, unfortunately, is not something that you can control. This is the beginning of what is known as the budding stage.
My advice is to be consistent in moisturizing and separating your locs. As the name suggests, the teen stage is going to be the wild stage of your locs. During this time you can expect them to be a bit rebellious and messy.
One of the best ways to tame them is with headbands, scarves, and occasionally ponytails not too tight. Hair will be going in all directions. They cannot be controlled. Many hair types will reach the mature phase during their 12th or 18th month. They will be thicker and feel stronger than the initial stages where the hairs may have been unraveling or loosening up.
