There are several ways to get dreads.... the first and easiest is just to let your hair get dirty and do it's thing, but that usually doesn't work for white boys like us. The other option is to make yourself some dreads... you need dread wax (you can get it online at www.knottyboy.com) and a dread comb, rubber bands and friends. Divide up your hair into a bunch of different strands, organize your head into a bunch of squares if you know what I'm talking about, then rub the wax in and backcomb your hair so its a big compact mass. You need long hair because once it's all backcombed it will be around a third as long as it was before. The third option is getting chem-dreads from a hairstylist.... it costs a lot but you have dreads instantly... but it always seemed like a copout to me. For info on dreads you can go to knottyboy.com or dreadlocks.com.
