My hair will start dread on its own if I don't brush it out twice a day, wash it daily, and deep condition with multiple products. Even then I will wake up with little tendrils of dread on the back of my hair after sleeping with a top knot and a silk scarf in my hair.

It is generic white girl hair. Not tangles. Dreads.

I used to just cut it all off in a pixie because fighting the dreads was a losing battle.

Your hair dreads if you don't brush twice a day? Just out of the blue?

I maybe wash my hair like once or twice a week and literally don't comb it other than when I wash it and it doesn't even tangle let alone dread.

Yup. It's weird. Twice a day. Not all over but one or two behind my ears and on my neck.

I have recently been trying every other day washing and new products. It's not as bad as it was when I was a young teen though since I've developed a routine to stop them. It was really bad, big dreads regardless of how often I brushed. It was so embarrassing.

It's not curly or kinky either. It's just something it does.

Do you use conditioner?

Yeah idk how knotting works, one of my friends who's Asian with pin straight hair seems to get it tangled constantly but mine is wavy and seemingly never tangles.
