Had to join after reading this thread. Im a stylist and I have created dreads for a long time. I have a set this week so if you don't think stylist can do it I will add photos and updates. BTW the real way is backcomb with a small amount of wax only in the beginning to help the dread lock in at the scalp quicker and tighter. the best way to create a lock is to back comb a knot tighten that knot by pressing the teeth of the comb down and comb the rest back out and repeat the next knot on top of the first and repeat. it takes hours to do it right... do not add the wax till the very end and use a hair dryer to wick the wax (petroleum free) through the dread.

wrong wrong wrong you prove that a stylist will screw u u never use any wax period none ever and backcomb is not the best methiod at all

You are not going to get any kind of support in this forum as long as you use any wax at all. I would waste my breath trying to argue about it since you won't get anywhere at all

Hey, Jon! Totally agree with everyone here! I had waist length hair, and a friend and I backcombed my entire head in one long day. For me, dreads are a spiritual process and I chose my best friend with beautiful, loving, positive energy to help me begin my process because I wanted my dreads to be given "birth" with the right kind of energy! Just something to consider! Best to you on the start of your journey! Keep us posted!

fyi, i don't think you guy realize that this discussion is almost a year old.

Ahaha! I didn't even notice that it was that old! Oops! Wonder what they ended up doing...

lol i don't know but on their page it says they've had dreadlocks for 11 months.

thanks heather
