Remember me? No? Well, help me anyway please.

Okay, so after about 6 months, I decided to restart my dreads.. Why? Well, I feel as I didnt know enough, so me and my mom took 9 hours out of a saturday to take them out.Well, I'm backcombing saturday and then more sunday. I was just wondering if i should use bands. I want them to be kinda bigger than last time? How much hair should I use in one dread? Like, sectionwise. I probably wont use the rubber bands.My friends need to measure though. Theyre kinda simple minded, so how should I explain this to them?

Well, I would use the neglect method, but it can be painful (the ripping) and I have school. I'm a sophomore and even though I dont care what people think, It would still be best to have the process speedy a bit. It worked last time. No rubber bands. promise. soaringeagle said:

backcombing is 1000x more painful than ripping sections apart once in a while... i have few backcombed and few twist'n'ripped dreads and i would definitely not backcomb ever again... yes backcombing is a bit quicker but pointless because it will get much more loose so i think its nearly pointless...

No matter what method of dreading you use you will have to rip dreads apart unless you want congos.

backcombing shouldn't hurt, if so its too aggressive. and no matter how u start ur dreads off ull always have to rip em apart, unless ur going for a beavertail

ooops the computer was still signed into bekkas account. that was me

why did you restart your dreads after 6 months?

I hadn't ripped any of the back dreads and there was just a huge congo in the back. I had also started them out of an act of rebellion at my parents, even though I wanted them anyway.
