    dont crochet
    it will weaken them
    if you wanna backcomb do it yourself or have a freind help
    do not ever go to a salon or anything like that...they will only mess you uop...badly
    salons and locticians are a horror

    you dont need to backcomb though..or do a damn thing to get dreads..they will happen on theyree own if u let them
    its that simple

    if u insist on backcombing dont over do it or u risak massive dammage
    dont use elastics either
    doit gentle as u can then let them go
    backcombing may fall out even completely
    its not worth the hours of pain in my opionion
    but your welcome to try
    but only backcomb once no matter how much comes undone
    the key to beautiful locks is always patience..give em time to dread

    Go to any 'black' salon to section it with rubberbands and go home and backcomb the section and remove the rubberbands when you finish that day.

    yeah just backcomb it, dont pay to get dreads. You really dont need to backcomb though. I am doing the natural way and i am anxious to see how my hair will turn out...i feel like it will be better in the long run.

    natural is best
    let the dreads happen on theyre own
    but if u are impatient u can backcomb and not ruin them
    just dont over do it dont do too much dammage
    and by all means dont use wax or pay for dreads
    if you have a freind help ya backcomb its ok to pay em lil for theyre time bit dont even think of a salon

    dreads take next to no effort if u go natural
    and the resultsa are mucdh more uniqualy yours

    you dont have to go to any blacksalon to get em sectioned either salons section rigidly i n a checkerhboard pattern that results in unatural looking dreads
    at least for the 1st several months
    if u backcomvb just grabv sections randomly, just be carefull that not too manmy roots are cris crossed (hair that naturaly would join 1 dread being forced into the dread next door)
    they dont gotta be round or square sectuions

    i advise at least goinmg a fewqw weeks naTURAL
    YOUR HAIR WILL START TO SECTION ITSELF NATURALY WHERE IT WANTS TO
    U CAN THEN CHOOSE TO LET IT DO IT ON ITS OWN OR USE THE NAtural sections as guides to backcomb by
    oops caps

    I think this person just wants dreads now. No waiting, or long fun process's. Just chunks of hair, full of wax. lol

    He doesn't want wax. people need to quit the condesending 'natural method' act.
    Nothing is wrong wiht wanting uniformed dreads, we can't all think the same.

    I got confused. It said 'now', maybe he meant 'no'

    Yep, he meant no.
    Poor guy is having so much different things said to him that he isn't going to know what to do now.
