Backcombing


Dreading Methods

i really gotta thank you for the feedback im getting on this site. But seeing how long it takes to get nice and "real" dreadlocks im beginning to change my mind about this. I dont think im willing to wait that long to get them to dreadlock on their own, and i certainly dont wanna mess up my hair with wax and stuff. Since i havent dreaded any of my hair yet , i can easily just get a nice haircut for a reasonably price ;)You've got a killer site here and i respect all the work you have done to help others.Keep it real.

Backcombing


Dreading Methods

wow i cant believe how fast i get replies here! :D ok i can see that the crochet method isnt very popular. The thing is the owner of the salong has dreadlocks her self and she used the backcombing method. She is offering mo hair extensions, and thats mainly my reason for going there. My hair isnt quite as long as i want it to be and i wanted to get dreads before schools starts. Im really lazy and i dont know anyone willing to help me so the sallong thing is really my only option. Ive read some topics and figured out that the backcombing method does work if i give it some time, correct?by the way, is extension a good choice untill my hair grows to the right length? soaringeagle said:
let me explain something to you the path to dready glory is the path of least effort
the more you do the worse off your dreads become
so bare minumum is best
that means going natural is your best option but if not then twist and rip
backcombing if dont very gently isnt too terible but a salon will be total torture you'll be taking heavy pain meds a week
and your hair will be ruined

now t&r is very gentle almost as gentle as natural

but crochet is just destruction everything u fix by crochet breaks more requiring more fixing and 10 years later your still fixing em if thewy havent fallen right off


to get the best dreads..throw away your comb..and thats it

Backcombing


Dreading Methods

So im getting my dreadlocks pretty soon... ive googled a lot about dreadlocks in general, and i stumbled upon this site quite recently. In the sallong im getting them the hairdresser only offers the backcombing method. I read the "dreaducation" here and it doesn't seem to bee too good of a method... my question is, is it really that bad? i have no intention of using any products such as wax, but i do, however, intend to buy a crochet hook to tighten them up. does this seem to be a good solution?
