Anonymous asked: What do I need before starting dreads?

A sturdy metal fleacomb, some tiny rubber hairbands (for sectioning only), some daily clarifying shampoo or dish soap, & a serious understanding of the commitment you’re getting yourself into.

A friend to help doesn’t hurt, either.

You can also just go the full-neglect route, in which you continue to wash your hair but do NOTHING else to it. In which case you only need to shampoo/dish soap & the understanding/commitment. A double dose of the latter, actually, because it will take longer.
