i twist and rip while making dreads and it makes them very tight and smooth. backcomb just a little, then twist and rip to move the knots up the dread, repeat.
You can try to backcomb yourself, just make lots of small sections. The only thing with thin locks is that they want to loop like hell, so you have to backcomb real tight! This is a friend of mine I backcombed, About 90 locks (still short babies): http://members.home.nl/romkesijtsma/RastaLove/images/stefanie_collage.jpg
Hey so to all who thought I was being a jackass or coming off as condescending in this thread - Im sorry - it was more so fun than anything. I doubt this cat took offense to it, but I hope he knows I was just messing around. It was bad advice, in the name of humor.
i understand roji, thats why i didnt say anything. it was a bit funny, but also mean and unecessary. but its ok, i still love ya *hugzes*
