I want dreads so bad! I have a few concerns the first person I talked to said I would lose 4 inches of length when I did them, so I will want to wait a few more months if that is true. I had another friend who has had her dreads for about 8 years do one dread in my hair, it looked like a caterpillar. Is there any way to start the dreads where thry will look a bit more mature in the beginning? it was so fuzzy. I have been told wax helps but not to use it. I do not know what to do or where to start, help!

Desperate to start my dreads, dont know where to start! Help!
how did your freind do that dread
do not use wax! any way that makes them look mature fast makes them not last
you will ruin them if you try to hurry them its a journey in fact the slow way is the best way
just stop combing

sorry about that. I am not sure what she called it, I know it wasn't backcombing, she was very clear I shouldn't do that and she didn't use any chemicals or wax. I read that page and it had a lot of information, thank you!a
Just her hands. 
She said it was mostly natural but took a year to lock up?

its called twist n rip its the next best thing to natural and u got damn lucky to find someone who knew a lil about dreads
yea dreads will take w year to mature..they lock up in months but take a year to mature
its a beautiful wild organic process

Alright, well I am glad. She seemed to know what she was talking about and her dreads were amazing. So is there no way to tame the fuzzies for a while or just let it do its thing?
best to let them be
anything that tames the frizz will slow progress or harm them
frizz will get betterover time but u will aklways have some so ..get used to it..ignore it
