So, what's the best way to dread?

Dreading Methods

I would suggest you look at some pictures of tnr, backcomb and separation method dreads to See which style you like best. Also how much time you have and if theres anyone who can help you if you decide to tnr or backcomb. separation method is easier because all you have to Do is wash and separate them, with tnr and backcomb it is going to take hours and would Be better if you had someone to help you with it, but not necessary. In the end they all will take about the same time to turn into real dreads. Keep in mind that all methods except the neglect method, involve some ripping and breakage of the hair. Its all part of the natural dreadlock journey
