10 points for best answer.What is a good hair salon that specialises in dreadlocks in victoria?
I started my own dreads about 4 months ago. I highly suggest not going to a hair salon at all. Most of them are for African American textured hair and instead of backcombing they will use products and twist (this works for that texture hair, but if you want it backcombed, salons are not the place to go!)
Instead, get some friends to come help!
If you go this route: the most important thing is sectioning! Just make good even sections (you want them round or square, not rectangle!)
After that just get a flea comb (not used of course!) and backcomb, basically just comb the hair backwards as if you are teasing it. Do this as best you can, and then do it again! You want them to be backcombed really tight (if they aren't it's not the end of the world, dreadlocks are the hair in it's natural state, so if you don't backcomb well it will just take longer for them to develop)
On top of that, I beg you, don't put product in them! Wax is common but it's actually not so great for dreads, it makes it so they don't move so they can't knot up! It also stays in the dread and doesn't get washed out when you wash them-- not good. Just wash them with a non-residue soap and they will be great.
hm, here's a post I made with more details on how to start your own dreads if you are interested,
