How I did it: I have a friend who makes dreads and had him do it. It hurt like hell!! And crocheting all the time is tiresome. But im so happy with it:) Though its still fresh and really looks like it, im very happy to have them made:)

EDIT:

However, i see something changing. There has been more to do with my dreads during a month than with all my hairstyles in my life. Always crocheting- thats the key to nice dreads. And regular washing. How would they lock up without washing? And i have found out that some all-natural soaps work best for washing, as they greatly speed up the locking process. You're making fleece after all- and that's made of hair, with lots of soap-and lots of work.

the first couple of weeks are hard, but you'll get on with it:) and as your hair grows down and locks up, it'll be less and less work, with more and more fun:)
