good start for sure
they will be fine they will dread the tricjk to tnr is total randomization how often u twist the ammount of hair in each hand at each split where i split the more random the better in fact at some times u may have only 6 hairs in 1 hand and 99% in the other if you split in 1/2 every time it will be bvraidlike
journeys only end if you believe they hwave just 1 destination nut when yiu reach that destination theres always further you can go
the journey never ends
well
u got wax in them which prevents dreading so its not good enough to stop weaxing you must agressivly remove the wax
the crochet will delay progress alot as well
you never ever rebackcomb they are young they should be loose so they will dread just remove the wax and give em time they will be fine
but the wax gotta come out
sounds like he wants them now
i think its not too ypung to let em dread at birth as long as you dont force em to keep em when they are old enoiugh to decide for themselves after all untill that age they cant decide themselves so its up to you to decide with their best interests in mi9nd ..but u should explain things as well as u can wether they fully uunderstand or not and ask what they want and let them know they can decise to go back at any time
depends what you mean by dread a childs hair if you mean let a childs hair dread..as in n aturaly you can do it from birth
if you mean by backcombing or tnr id say 6 or 7 when old enough to explain it will hurt
hippie momma dreaded gages at 2 by backcombing very k]loightly but barely backcombed so was mostly natural
if it tangles so easy thenlet it dread
oh explain that and im betting you are fine completely
