Some questions about my dreads

Dread Maintenance

The thing is i haven't used any wax on my dreads.

They've only been backcombed and a bit of crocheting in the beginning.

I'm thinking about comb them out but i haven't decided yet

Some questions about my dreads

Dread Maintenance

Thanks for all the good answers and tips. I think i'll just ride it out and see how they turn up. A friend of mine started his dreadlocks about a year ago and he's been using crochets and wax and they doesn't look like dreads at all, more like hair "needled" together (i hope you understand what i mean)

I will do an update when they're a year old

Some questions about my dreads

Dread Maintenance

Hello. I got some questions about my dreadlocks but first i will tell you how i started dreads.

I started dreads in june, this year (2013) because a friend of mine is studying to become a hair stylist. I didn't have plans to start dreads, i actually planned to cut off my hair so that's why she could do dreads on me first.

The method that was used was backcombing and a little bit of crocheting.

I figured i could keep the hair during the summer and see how it turned out,and cut them in August.

Now it's september and i haven't cut them yet because i actually like it and feel a little "spiritual bond" to my hair.

The question i have is: I want natural dreads but can my dreads turn out natural if they were backcombed? I haven't crocheted them since my friend "made them".

Should i cut off my hair or start over, or will my dreads turn out looking good anyway?

No wax were used, no products at all (except that little bit of crocheting.

I hope you can understand my english, i'm not as good at english as i wish i were.
