Ready to ditch the comb and embrace natural texture? Freeform dreads, also known as neglect dreads or natural dreadlocks, are a beautiful and unique way to express yourself. This isn't about perfection; it's about letting your hair do its thing.
So, how do you start? The beauty of freeform dreads lies in their simplicity. Stop combing or brushing your hair and allow it to naturally tangle and knot. You can encourage the process by washing your hair regularly (every 1-2 weeks) with a residue-free shampoo. Avoid using conditioners, as they can hinder the knotting process.
Palm rolling sections can help create more defined locs, but ultimately, the shape and size are up to your hair. Remember, patience is key! Freeform dreads take time to develop. Embrace the journey, celebrate the unique textures, and enjoy the freedom of low-maintenance, naturally formed locs.
