Knotty Boy FAQs .: Starting Dreads .: My hair is about 6 inches long. Will my new dreads stick up or lay flat?

My hair is about 6 inches long. Will my new dreads stick up or lay flat?

98% of them will probably stick up, the other 2% will stick out. Yeah, its kind of a bummer, but the shorter the hair, the more likely it is that they’ll be reaching for the sky. Usually after the first wash they tighten up quite a bit and start laying flat. When you palmroll (because you are palmrolling, right? RIGHT?) you can try gently directing your new locks in the direction you want. You can also try taming them with a bandanna or scarf. They’ll get the point eventually.
