I sectioned all but the back myself, & it wasn't too difficult. Also, no pain! Just a soothing, slow process of putting my hair into a good position to dread. Doing it myself was very rewarding - just felt a little more personal that way, & I knew that no one was going to crisscross my roots or anything like that. I chose to go pretty thin, considering that the dreads will thicken up as they mature. I sort of did a brickstack kind of thing, but wasn't too concerned about the exact shape of each section. Just staggered each section a bit & now I'm just leaving it be. Some sections have let loose a bit, but I'm trusting my hair will do it's thang! That's my two cents! =)
