I just started dreading. I'm doing the twist a rip method. I heard that crocheting them almost everyday for about 3 months will help them form.. Should I twist and rip and do nothing and let them form on their own or crochet as well?

I tried backcombing and wax reluctantly, then I tried t'n'r, but I crocheted them because they looked way too wild for me. After realizing none of that works for me, I'm now trying natural. I'm about 2 months in (I haven't really kept count) My hair is really curly and thick so I figure my dreads would rock if they ever come together. I have a question though: does it look like it's at least beginning to dread?

I've wanted dreads for a while and I've finally decided that I'm going to get them. I was thinking about going to a saloon but now that I've done some research I see that's not the best idea...I've tried the neglect method but only one layer of my hair seems to do anything. I do have somewhat thin hair and I'd like to have smaller sized dreads. Any recommendations? Also another factor I am doing this completely by myself..any advice would be great so I can get started!

Twist and neglect is Coo long as I don't over twist them right.

no not at all you need the right habbits no finger combing no conditioning a dread shampoo or the nbaking soda acv soak

no towel drying etc

theres many ways to prevent dreads if u stop everything that prevents them they happen

When I had waist-length hair, dreads never formed, and I don't remember ever combing them. I don't use any hair products whatsoever, for dying, straightening, or curling, and I never have, even once. My hair's just has a slight, natural shagginess to it. It's not straight, but not wavy by any means. Do you need a certain hair type to grow dreads naturally?

I have just started my dreadlock journey and i'm a little over two months in.  My original plan was to use comb-twists for a few years then start freeforming. I have had the urge to go straight to freeforming as soon as possible.  Im looking for advice to make the transition like what I should use to wash my hair and how often I should use it. I havent gotten my hair twisted in almost a month and the new growth is showing under the locs which i like but how do I deal with some of the locs unraveling due to intitally using the twisting method.

Is there anything that can help thicken locks. I have naturally soft and and moderately thin hair. Not balding but you could always see my scalp. Well I have always grown much more hair on my face than my head so I have a set of goatlocks on my chin but never bothered with my head. If I did do my head is there anything I can do to end up with fatter locks instead of a whispy little things? Help is much appreciated
