Thanks for the advice guys! I think I'm going to go with the r&t method. I just have one more question..
I want to do the r&t method first and then just let it do it's thing.. is this a good idea? will they require a lot of maintenance?
I'm definitely not using any wax or anything like that xD glad I found this site before I fell into a trap!
So, I'm considering joining the club. I haven't completely made up my mind yet, but everyone who matters in my life is on board with the idea, and I think I'm almost there too.
I have a couple problems I'm concerned will arise..
I have very oily hair, and if it isn't washed every 36 hours it turns into quite the greasy thing. Any tips on how to make the transition from 1- to 3-day washing as simple and, ah, professional, as possible?
Also, I prefer the look of thin dreads, and so far in my research everyone seems to agree that the thinner they are the harder they are to lock.
I like the idea of the twist and rip method best but my helpers would probably rather backcomb, it seems a little easier. One better than the other? They seem to have a similar ratio of pros and cons.
I'm a little unsure about the sectioning as well.. Should I get a stylist to section for me prior to backcombing?
Any other tips you have for me, I'd love to hear from you!
