Ryan's Dreadlocks

Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California

First of all I want to set your minds at ease just a little. When most people think of dreadlock they think gross, dirty hair you don’t wash for weeks or even months, it has tons of dirt and wax and grease and bugs in it. But this is just a misconception. I guess for some people this could be the case and some people do try to create dreadlocks themselves by putting a bunch of products in their hair then tangling it all up. But most people and Ryan went to a professional dreadlock hair dresser (it’s a pretty chill job that makes good money actually). So for Ryan's dreadlocks the only product he used was a relaxer to make the hair more workable; then it was washed out. After it was dry the guy took a small section of hair and started backcombing it till the hair was in a big knot. Then he used his fingers to twist it up and used string to tie it off. And repeat...and repeat..... About 5 hours later he was tying off the last one. So no dirt, no grease and definitely no NO Washing. It can be washed as often as Normal hair.

Since pictures speak a thousand words I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

This is hair relaxer to make sure Ryan's hair is damaged enought. LOL
