<<< Okay, so how do you start dreads -- in caucasian hair, mind you --
without leaving it unwashed. I mean, how can you wash hair you can't comb
or untangle? And how do you get hair tangled/tied/mashed together like that
when it's clean?

Real questions, in case the issue comes up again.

Start by googling Dreadlocks. There are TONS of websites out there with
information, products, pictures etc. that explain all about dreadlocks. They
all explain how dreadlocks are started, how they are maintained, and how to
keep your scalp clean.
While there are people that create their dreadlocks by simply not brushing
(they still wash) many people get dreads by going to a salon, or having a
friend do it. It takes about 8 hours on average to dread hair.
Go ahead and google it, I think you'll learn alot.
