It was quite by accident I began wearing them. My regular hair stylist in Chicago didn't show up for an appointment I had with her. wasn't that novel? The shop was closed when I arrived for my scheduled appt. I called but no one answered. After about an hour I gave up! As I was venturing down the same block I discovered an African Hair Braider...I entered, saw her book of styles..agreed on a price for braids and the rest is history. I did eventually learn how to remove my own braids after suffering through having them removed when I showed up to the braiding shop after 6 months worth of hair growth. Our hair has a spirit of its own! I probably lost more hair in the process of removing my locked down hair growth at the end of the braids then I may have lost during the 6 mounth time. Yes, do braids out ONE BY ONE (I use either a pointed wooden finger nail stick or an extra large uphostery needle) to unbraid the hair. Take your time and comb each braid out, then proceed to the next. I usually start with the nape of my neck covering this section with the rest of the braids while wearing the braided style during the day. The take down process takes about 2-3 days but the results is new growth which is healthier because its had a rest from heat, chemicals,brushes, and combs.

Removing them. What about people who have them or want them and need advice or people who have them and just want a little omph! after all these years for them? Dreadlocks are a beautiful black hairstyle and should be also highlighted on a natural hair site. :) I notice this is the only area of discussion about dreads. Removing them.
