Dreads, twists, locks, braids - 4 different hairstyles?
YES. Twists are effective as a starting method for
dreadlocks, but usually not for Caucasian or asian hair types. Many salons will
tell you that they are, but we end up fixing a lot of these cases, so know
before you go. This is different than backcomb-and-twist started locks, usually
because most twists aren’t backcombed, which is the necessary step for most
hair. Braids are pretty self explanatory. Again, braids can be used
as a starter method, but it’s a long process, and the braided hair usually
won’t ever turn into a truly knotted lock. It’s a great look to rock on its
own merits, but there are way easier ways to start dreads.
