Serious Question - How do I make my hair nappy?

Home More advice Beauty & Style

I want dreads, and I've even had them before, but they've never locked. The first time I got dreads, they were alright. They started getting nappy, but they did not lock! I took those out, and someone else did them. This time they were like little curls, but eventually, they too got nappy, but still didn't lock.. Took those out, then went to a professional person. I walked into his shop, and it was in a pony tail and I asked him if he could put my hair in dreads. He said it was a little too straight for him. Me and my mom had a laugh at that, I mean hey, I'm black..we don't have straight hair. So I went to the person who did them the first time and he said, yea, your hair is too straight. But even so, he tried his best and he put my hair into a bunch of small twisties. I didn't really like those so I took them out. Now here I am with braids. Advice?
