Well all i know is usually every 2 weeks my homeboi gets his retwisted. also... ur hair is basically twisted and bundled up wit the wax so it can keep the lock form.. i dont think it hurts..and the shapeup is to keep ur tape line and ur hair lookin sharp

Watsup, I've been thinkin about gettin dreads for the longest time now, throughout the year. I am Black/white so my hair is inbetween. It isnt nappy and it isnt straight. A few years ago I had a real big fro and then i braided it. At that time I wanted to go back to short hair after having all that hair for three years. I cut it regularly since then, two years ago. Now I want to grow my hair again and get locks.

 
I wanted to know a few things. I heard you have to get the locks re twisted every now and then. How often must you get them retwisted and if you go to a shop to get them done how much does it usually cost? And does it hurt like gettin ur braids done?
 
Also is it recomended to get a shapeup before gettin locks and while you have them? Or should u grow all your hair together without a shapeup?

Thanks for the help.
