I'm still pretty young and my hair is currently too short to dread but it grows pretty fast so I'm doing my homework on it now to get ahead. If I do dreads I want to know EXACTLY what I'm getting into. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on it but I think I want to use Dreadhead wax. I saw some pretty good reviews on it and not much argument against it. Thoughts? I also decided on the backcombing method. Is this a good method for beginners? Also, I'm Caucasian, with slightly thin hair and it's slightly oily. Will this affect my dreading? Suggested length for dreading? I don't want them to stick out or look bad just because it's too short. I'm still in highschool so that would probably be bad. Suggestions? I'd appreciate any help or guidance.

Decided to get dreads.
nono i]=no u do not wabt to use wax all pro rec=views are fake read here every single person will tell u not to ever use wax
all real reviews are very very against wax
wax caused 2/3 of our members to start over
wax is pure evil
dreadheadhq is a scam

But won't twist and rip hurt? And I want thin dreads that look nice; I don't want them to frizz too much or be thick and knot together. I want dreads that look decent, thin, and clean. Not all stuck together like large three inch dread lumps.
no backcombing hurts like crazy if u do tnr yourself its very getle
but niothings as easy or gentle as going natural and that is the best way to dread
backcombings agressive and mothers of 4 said it hurts worse then childbirth

How long should my hair be for that method? And how do I do "twist and rip"? I read the article but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. Can I still wash my hair? Should I not use conditioner? Do I need a specific shampoo? Can I still wash my hair every day? Or at least every other day? How can I make my dreads thin and at least mostly even?
4 inch min 5 is bestter ofcourse longer is best
twist a sectuion split into 2 parts randomly piull them away from eachother put together split in a new spot pull repeat u dont gotta retwist everytuime the more randomly u split the better
yes u must wash your hair
u shouldnt every day or every other day your oily because u wash too much
no conditioners art all
since your oily
id wash with baking soda and sea salt every 3 days
make the sections thin like pencil to do=ime size if u want thin nickle size for medium thin
