Starting dreads how to prepare hair?

To prepare your hair for dreads, start by ensuring it is clean and free from any product buildup. Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove oils and residues, then avoid conditioning it, as conditioner can make it harder for the hair to lock. Consider starting with dry, textured hair, as this helps the dreading process. Lastly, if your hair is straight or fine, you might want to backcomb or use a twisting method to encourage the locking process.
