how much do dread locks cost?and do they work ewith fine hair,,and also what if u dont like the way it turned out do they have to be cut or is ther away they can put ur hair back?thanks

[ryanOriley1]

@lynnej1970 it varies, it can be free if you get your friends to help you or you do it yourself. you can undo them if you don't like them but it isn't easy because there are so many knots

@ryanOriley1 Would you recommend getting dreadlocks done at a store with a professional, or can it be done just as easily if know the right techniques and put the effort it? :D thankyou and i love your videos bro :D hopefully getting started on them in a few weeks when my hair is long enough :)

[ryanOriley1]

@TheBassGangster from what i hear, salons always want to do more than just backcomb. they always want to put products in and things like that so i say get a friend and explain to them how to do it and have them do it

hey ryan :)

ive watched all ur vids and they are super helpful. My babies are only 3 weeks old :) I only have 32 dreads tho :( i have super fine hair, plus at almost 40, i think its thinnned out with everything ive done to it over the year,lol. How many do you have?

My question for you is: the dr bronners soap you use....wot one would you recommend (i noticed there are different smells etc), is there one in particular you found that helped with the insane itching!? :o

Cheers from down under

@kezza35 i have 37. nothing wrong with 32! no need for a frowny face haha. i use the peppermint dr bronners, it smells incredible! however it doesn't really help with the itching, dreads dry the scalp out so bad i don't know what shampoo would actually solve that issue

@TheBassGangster put the effort in**

Not trying to be racist but white boys normally don't get dreads they wear their hair naturally. I'm black so I know what I'm talking about. I like his dreads it's just not culturally fit. My twist are starting to lock. My hair is nappy so it can be twisted anyway and be locked.
