Gave up on my quote below...I have stopped caring what people think, if I'm meeting a doctor; I wear a hat. It's been 6 months now
"Ok; 4th try here. They're coming in nice; however, I have to cheat a little...I am in the process of meeting new doctors and people can be judgemental; so I have been keeping my locks hidden in pony tail and/or bun...at home and in normal life...free!!"
I simply wash my hair often; use tea trea for itchy scalp and flakes, do not comb and rip apart dreads as they're forming when they knot together.
I will upload a new image as soon as I have one
Great to be back!! ~Namaste

It takes, on average, a year to form mature locks. Some longer, some shorter. A bit more time and they would have looked great. Oh well... Now you can learn from this site. Knowledge is power
Welcome

How long did you have your neglect dreads for last time? It takes a good while to form matured locks that most are expecting. Other than that, welcome!
Welcome to DLS, and SE is right natural or tnr is way more healthier to use than backcomb. I started mine with underneath hair with tnr and letting the rest go natural. Happy dreading.
Welcome. Eagle's right. If you are looking for a starter method, TnR is healthier than back combing. People have had great results with back combing, but it does more damage, and it's easier to mess up your sections and end up with sections that pull funny and hurt your scalp
welcome neglect aka natural or freform is best overall no mattyer the hair type tnr is bertter then backcomb
