people have spent over 25 grand at salons for dreads only to go bald in the end
they charge absolutely outrageous prices and do severe harm
if instead of grab and go you just let it go to dread itself youd probly have 48 or so instead of 13
look through the salon recovery section of the site and see just why you just dodged a bullet
yea but that's only 1 of many things salons do that's horific
but why would you be nervouse about the natural method?
heres typically what you get from dread experiences
backcombed or 'made dreads"
day 1 omg i got dreads
day 2 oh damn they are flat and messu]y omg i screwed them up what should i do
day 5 omg theres so much frizz they are getting loose i need someone to fix them right away
day 10 omg the roots and tips are so loose they aren't dreading
day 20 they are even looser and messier 1/2 fell out completely
month 3 they are so loopy and crazy what did i do wrong
manth 5 they shrank omg whats wrong
etc etc ots a constant state of panic worried what you did wrong when its doing just what it has to
natural dreading
day 1 whew it felt good to not comb today
day 2 not a lot happening yet but i feel good
day 5 people are complimenting my hair more and i haven't done a thing to it but it is starting to section itself
day 10 i found my 1st dread this is so exciting
day 20 i have a bunch more dreads but a lot of loose hair too but i don't care
month 3 omg i love how loopy they are this is so exciting
month 5 wow they are shrinking and tightening every day
its a constant state of amazement and excitement watching them go through the natural changes from hair to dreads
look around the site at how many started with every method you can imagine only to restart..sometimes after years just to do it naturally
i always give this advice
you can let the natural process start and if your not happy tnr at any time (way less damage then backcombing)
but if you jump into backcomb or tnr then wish you went natural your likely to just want to start over again
