What size sections would yu recomend?Ps my hairs not that curly
Knottysleeves said:
1-inch sections sound a bit big. Keep in mind that dreads tend to get thicker with time, so it's better to start them a little smaller than you'd like them to be at maturity.I'm a fan of backcombing, but curly hair often doesn't need much encouragement to start dreading. Does your hair tangle easily? If so, backcombing would probably be wasted effort.

What r the dangers of sectioning?
soaringeagle said:
why would u7 do that the best way isnt to put them in but allow them to9 formif you dont go natural then twist and rip but dont do silly 1 inch squaresstop brushing for 2 weeks and let the hair section itself then either let it dread from there by doing nothing or twist and rip using the natural sections as a guide

Idk she said she had some "other stuff" mixed in with the dread waxDo you beleve back combing is a good way to get dreads
soaringeagle said:
if your able to get all the wax out without combing it ourt yes but twists wont really hold together so u will end up going natural anyways all the sectioning will probly come apart and u saisd she used or did "other stuff" what else was there a dread perm> interlocking? the more details u give te better cause some of what she co9uld have done can be totaly devastating even worse thyen waxwhat was the "other stuff" Leo said:So adding on a question
Could I clean the wax off each twist individually cause she did a good job sectioning it
Could I just section it off and wash it with that soap and each section will eventually start dreading?

Hello, I just got dreads at a salon,didn't feel like risking messin it up by doin it myself, she used the twist and pin method (I'm white[don't kno I that matters]) she used dead wax mixed with some other things, is what she told me.She told me to: occasionally to use hairspray on them; palm roll them; not to get them wet for a long time; and wait1. Idk if this is good or how long I need to use it, how much to use, or when to use it2. Idk when I should start doing this because I tried this recently and it made one loose (remember white person hair; twist & pin method)3. She never actually told me how long before I should wash them, just kept telling me a while:/4. How long will it take?
