Completely New To Dreading HELP

I have been thinking about dreading my hair for a very long time. I know that there are a lot of different ways to get them like backcombing and twist n rip but I really like the natural method.

I was wondering what goes into all of these methods individually.

I have down my research and everything but I am unsure if I have been getting legit info because different people say different things.

So what do I need to do for the Natural way?

Twist-n-Rip?

Backcombing?

Anything else?

What about afterwards? Maintaining? Wax is bad?

Product?

Hair washing?

Maintenance?

Just tell me everything! haha

If you could, please give me the most detailed explanations as possible. I am leaning more towards the natural way but I don't know everything that goes into it. Thanks, guys.

Info: Caucasian. 16 (17 in a month). Blonde. Male. Very pretty hair (I get called Justin Beiber all the time). I wouldn't know whether to call it thick or thin.. It does grow very rapid though.

Will hair, nail and skin vitamins hurt my dreading process??

PS: I don't believe that my hair is quite long enough right now for any 'instant' methods. 4.5 - 5 inches

How would I go about natural dreads?
What can I do and what can't I do?

Combs?

Product?

Shampoo?

You said separate. What do you mean exactly?

throiw away yiour cfomb

throw away your conditioneer

leave your hair alonbe

wash with dread soap or baking soda

in a week or so the hair sections itself

then dreads itself..natural meabs no human interventiion..it just happens naturaly

no products at all

just washijng

when they dread they tend to try to combine inti bigger dreads so u pull 2 dreads away from eachiother rippingthe connecting hairs

do it damp and often and its not an issue

waittoo long and it hurts

dont over do it tho either dont do it till theres something to seperate

Could you give me a rough estimate on how long it would take for them to start dreading?

would I wash my hair everyday with the dread soap or what?

Does it matter how I dry it? (Sorry for the multiple replies)

Towel okay?

no washiong daily makes u oily every 2-3 days no longer then weekly 1-3 times a week is best

estimates well u doi need lil more length but when u hit tht mark it will start

longer hair dreads fasrer usualy

5% days to week

10%1-3 weeks

30% about 1-3 months

etc

ending with 1-3& that takea year ..or even longer

most falkl into thecouple months marks

When I am getting a shower, and not washing my hair, is it allowed to get wet?
