Welcome. The most healthy method is to just let them knot up on their own. All you really have to do is wash them with a non residue shampoo and separate them as needed.
Check out the dreaducation page for tips. You can use a starter method like TnR or back combing. TnR is much gentler than back combing and does less damage.
What you need to make sure of to to NEVER use wax or crocheting. Salons will only screw you over
Welcome. How are you "getting" locks? Locks take a long time to mature. You can't "get" them done and have mature locks right away. Mature locks take about a full year to form. If you are planning to have someone crochet your hair, check out the dreaducation page and the recovery forums first. Crocheting is the MOST damaging thing that can be done to locks. It does nothing but rips your hairs into smaller and smaller pieces, which weakens your locks and makes them brittle.
