the Price of Dreadlocks

I had my daughter hair dreadlocked at a hair salon. Service cost around 250 $.The total cost included the entire dreadlocking process, which took a few hours, plus an aftercare kit they gave me. The procedure involved a "backcombing" process in which the stylists sectioned off individual strands of hair, then combed hair back toward the base of the scalp and tangled it into a thick dread.

I was extremely satisfied. My daughter's locs are gorgeous. This technique saved money because we didn't have to worry about going to a stylist weekly or bi-weekly as we did with one of my other children. They guy that performed the service did not take very long and it looked amazing after he was done. For months, we were able to maintain hsi locks at home by washing only.

Not many hair salons offer this service, and not every salon does it well and/or cheaply. Don't get so-called "perm" dreadlocks -- these are instant but they don't turn out well and ruin your hair. Find a place that has experience (i.e. has done it more than a couple of times) and will give you good tips on caring for dreadlocks afterwards. Don't settle for someone cheap that's going to mess up your hair.
