• 628 Hair Care for Dreadlocks

Todd: So, Tres, can I ask you some questions about your hair?

Tres: Sure, go ahead.

Todd: So you have dreadlocks. How long have you had dreadlocks?

Tres: I've had dreadlocks ever since I was in high school, so I would say over ten years.

Todd: And how do you actually get dreadlocks, like what do you have to do to your hair?

Tres: There are many ways you can get dreadlocks. One is to visit the salon and have it professionally done. Another way, the natural way, what I do is just twist my hair and it takes maybe two or three months for the hair to actually lock together and become dreadlocks.

Tres: Now because I am of African heritage my hair is different from my brothers and sisters who are of Asian or European heritage and therefore my hair locks much easier because it's curlier and it's quite flat.

Todd: So when you say you push it together to lock it, you just spend a little time every night just twisting your hair? (Yep)

Tres: Yep.

Todd: How do you do it in the back though?

Tres: It's really hard to describe with words but, it's a shoulder workout, but I just grab my hair, rub it in between my hands, sort of like when you're a kid and you're playing with play-dough and you're trying to make a long cyclindrical rod with play-dough. You twist it in your hands. Same way.

Todd: Now once you have dreadlocks do you have to continually do this to keep them this way or once they are locked are they good forever?

Tres: Once you have dreadlocks it is good to twist them occassionally because if you do not then they'll just grow out as if it's an afro, so I would have a large afro adn then at the tips of the afro I'd have dreadlocks, so I do go back and twist my hair occassionaly.

Todd: OK, and for washing your hair, is there anything special that you have to do?

Tres: Just make sure that you clean your scalp and whenever you choose a shampoo make sure that it's one that does not damage your scalp or what have you.

Todd: Right, so basically, nothing different.

Tres: Right. Nothing different, just watch out for the PH balance.

Todd: OK, thanks Tres.

Tres: You're welcome.
