I hope to start the dreading process this week,

At first I really wanted the Knotty Boy dreading kit, but now I've only heard bad things about dread wax. I admit though, I'm fairly impatient. What is a quick-ish method, that also makes nice dreads? I wanted to do them naturally at first, until I heard it could take years, and I had seen a lot of pictures on the web where they ended up just looking really gross, and not sectioned at all.(but if this isn't true, then i'd definitely do it) I can bare with a little bit of looking awkward, but I don't know about a whole year =o. Any advice? And I've heard you should use salt water and lemon juice? So many questions haha, I'm so knew. But thanks

I think I'll start with twist and rip, and once I'm satisfied, I'll probably just let them do what they want. I heard you should do inch by inch squares? Will this make them thin, my goal is the medium sized ones? Thanks for the advice!

you heard that from that idiotic site i guessinch squares results in inch thick all the same dreads..boringi advise u go a week or 2 natural let the hair section itself naturally as it wishes (if any are too big split em) u want thin to medium then 1/4-1/2 inch is good 1 inch is the thickest id ever let any of mine getand the 1 inch ones are almost all 6 that combined into 1 so average size before combining 1/6 inch
