Respect star, I asking you this: what race/ethnicity are you?

Most people of African descent will form locks naturally, just stop combing and cutting your hair and let the locks grow how Jah intends them to grow. Wash it regularly with shampoo with natural ingredients not a whole heap of chemicals.

If you have naturally straight hair like most Europeans, Asians, etc., it will be more difficult for you to knot up and I couldn't tell you how. But I would say, locks is about naturality, so if it's not your nature for your hair to knot, don't try forcing it to knot. Just let it grow how it want grow. I seen a lot of white people with "locks" but nuff a the time it just don't look right, you can tell they put something in it or it look real messy, sometimes they don't wash it and it smell. I don't know why white people want to imitate locks like it's a fashion, to I locks is part of InI natural black livity. White people with artificially-induced locks is like black people with straightened hair, they trying to be that which they are not. Just be yourself iyah.

By the way they are called locks or dreads or knots, not "rastas". Rasta is a spritual path and way of life (livity), Rasta is not hair. You don't haffi dread to be rasta and there are many dreads who are not Rasta.

Respect.
