Just starting the journey

I've just embarked on the journey of dreadlocks, literally started yesterday,
Am a student so looks atm isnt a problem so i did a little bit of back-combing to help things along a little bit but am just leaving my hair alone. no products now, no products ever and i'm going to start using baking soda shampoo when i wash my hair (havnt done that so-far, am too nervous about mucking up whats already been done) I've put a picture on here, hope it works and u can see it but let me know what u think and how long u guys think it'll take for them to catch properly and start looking a bit better.
peace out every1 x

After you wash your dread locks expect any of the following: Loose roots, kinks, loops, and fuzziness.Leave your dread locks alone. Backcombing began the process of developing mature dreadlocks. However your dreadlocks still have to go through the process of maturing.Oh another thing, take any and all rubber bands out of your hair.

yea, no rubber bands present i literally backcombed them and the have just been fiddling them, am about to shower now with a baking soda mix i'm just so paranoid that it'll all come undone, oh well, i have ages to let them lock properly.cheers mate x GoldenEagle said:
