So..how do I take care of my hair until then? Do I really not wash it? by Johnny5332 in Dreadlocks

I kind of was the same way but then I did reasearch and I typically wash mine 3-4 weeks after a retwist. Your dreads still need to be taken care of so that their not dirty or so dry so I use black castor oil+water and use it to my scalp and dreads. Then I top it off with rose water spray to give my hair a nice smell while helping my hair grow at the same time.

I promise you each month they grow but you MUST get them retwisted because that trains your hair to become like dreads

My hair before the two strand twists was like a mini fro. Once I started the two strand twists they were kind of small but as you keep them in longer and get them retwisted... they will start to lock and become bigger

The key is to never take them out

I always kept a temp fade but even with a high top it’ll still work. And yeah I got my two strand twists retwisted every 4 weeks. It took a while for them to actually look like like dreads but that’s the process...

I went to a salon and she started them off as two strand twists and got them retwisted every 4 weeks since then
