Going to a professional for dread installation can cost as little as $200 and upwards of $800. Some locticians charge a base fee however more often than not I’ve seen that they charge by the hour, the dreading method, your hair length, and/or your hair type.
Secondly, are styling dreads bad?
Changing Hairstyles
Trying to unknot your dreads will cause breakage, loss of hair and unfixable damage. The only way to get a short-term dreaded look is to have a loctician twist your hair with wax to create a similar style that can be washed out.
Simply so, how long does it take to dread hair professionally?
On average, hair grows a little over a centimeter (about half an inch) each month. Once you start gaining a little bit of length, you can start the dreadlocking process. If you start with little to no hair, you can expect to reach your butt-long dreadlock milestone in about 12 to 15 years.
