Are Dreadlocks high or low maintenance?

Dreadlocks can be high or low maintenance depending on the method you choose. Younger dreadlocks tend to be much higher maintenance whereas older, more mature, dreadlocks tend to be lower maintenance. The free-form and crochet method is a lower maintenance option. Alternatively, twisting, backcombing, interlocking, twist and rip, and a few other methods tend to be higher maintenance options.
