~Should I find a professional to start my locks..?

If you choose a professional, ask questions, ask for pictures and price compare.
Do you already have dreadz..?
~My ends are not dreading.. why..?
Often, the last inch of hair doesn't dread until after 1 year, all we need to keep doing is to backcomb the loose hair at the end of the dread, then, use the crochet needle to tight it... and roll them as much as you can.
~I have a funny smell on my locks.. why..?
It could be mildew caused when mousture is trapped in the hair. Make sure your dreadz are completely dry before tying them up or going to bed at nite. On the other hand it could be an excess of sebum in the scalp. Everyone has a unique scent. Shampoo or other naturally scented productssuch as rosemary, lemon or mint can help. Be caerful not to go overboard with products trying to mask the smell.. It could be worse.
~I have little bumps on my scalp... what are they..?
They are tension bumps, this happens when dreadz are too tight.
