Heeey Tiff! :D In my opinion about the way your dreads want to be, Natural is the best way. It is more exciting than pre-making dreads by twist and rip. In natural, you will never know what will happen tomorrow :3 It is a pretty exciting and entertaining journey if you'll go natural. It is also much stronger in built and hold. So Natural all the way! May the heavens guide you in making your decision and Take care! xoxox

Thank you Ojas,

I will be sure to post some pictures of my progress. I'm going with natural!

your hair type is just perfect enough for natural dreading. the sections that will form with this method will be the most suitably located sections on ur head because there will be no external interference from u or anyone else.. ur scalp knows it better than u where it wants the sections to be. u said u want a natural look with varied sizes of dreads. so again natural method is most suitable. dont think much, just leave ur hair to its devices. good luck

Thank you!

This is such an awesome website. I've posted links to it on Facebook for my friends who are also considering dreads! I'm going with natural. I will post my first pics next week!

I have.coiled curly hair and did T&R but if I could do over would go natural. Reason is an entire section on the back of my head fell out so I combed it and let it be. I watched their progress compared to the T&R and was amazed with what happened. For the first six months they just separated into various curls and looked the same while the TnR looked frihzzy bumpy and loopy. On month 7 and 8, they sudden started.dreading very quick. And at a year, the naturals looked way better and tighter than the TnRs. They also sectiined themselves better. Definitly go natural, and even more if you have curly our African texture.

Thanks Kelly,

I got a 100% response of natural!!! So natural wins. I appreciate all of the help. I will post some pictures next week.
