Introduce Yourself
Totally, well said. I went natural at first for a few months with nothing except for separation and curls due to naturally curly hair. Then, I twist & ripped some, but the knots came out completely in a short amount of time. I did a gentle backcomb and it was crazy for a week or so, so I wore hats alot and after a few months I have pretty much dreaded completely. I did try crochet once on a few of them, but I didn't like how tight they were afterwards so I've gone back to natural (mainly because when I palmrolled them with aloe vera, it took me close to 2 hours and my arms felt like they were going to fall off). So, yeah, anyway, its all a matter of personal preference, but the way I see it, if you are starting out dreads, they are going to grow out and the new growth won't be backcombed or t&r or anything, so whatever you do to start them (aside from dumping stuff on them that won't ever wash out) isn't going to ruin your hair forever.
