obviously going natural is less damaging on your hair than installing dreads with any other given method, but I prefer to TnR and then let em go wild, I think its a provides me with a bit of instant gratification, but still allows me to enjoy the process following.

well neither of u went natural b4 so your giving your opinion on your method not answering the question as askedi also only went natural and theres no way in hell id ever go any way but natural..butagain thats not answering the questionhowever nicole 4 instance had em crocheted and combed out to go naturali know shed really recomend that naturals the way to gohowever i do think this should be left to be answered by those who did try diferent ways natural vs made and not just posting theyre opinions based on what they did..unless they did try both

I dont know how my hair would do going *Totally* natural - its SO straight and tangle free nornally - but I do wish I had tried t&r. out of all the times I've helped encourage dreads to start, I haven't used that method - for some reason I'm all thumbs when I try and can't get it to work. Are there any good video tutorials for this?Jenn

ah i see so your saying u like the natural over t&r even tho both were pretty much same jpurney i got yajenn theres a vid in the featured vids and a good guide over there--->

Yep. I had crochet for 9 days. I loved them at first. On day 4 I found this site. From there on I just got more and more antsy about them. I felt like a fake. Much like I felt when I dyed my hair a dark brown (Im naturally a blonde). It felt phony and unnatural. My dreads AND my inner self.On day 9, I took all the crochet out. Took me 3 days. It hurt like hell. I lost tons of hair. Im now on Day 56 of Natural.To answer your question. Natural. 100% totally more rewarding. It 'feels' right. It feels good. It feels Natural. I would never recommend anything but. Honestly, not even TnR. soaringeagle said:
