Hello everyone!Well I am less than a month away to having dreadlocks again. (Long story short - had them 11 years ago, used a DIY kit, was grossly misinformed, removed them after only two months). The reason I am waiting is that I have a posh wedding to go to and since my wonderful boyfriend is going to be the one to dread me, I am honoring his request to wait (he is very supportive in my journey). This time around, I am finding that I am completely deluged with all this information. I am 100% mind, body, and spiritually ready for dreads, I am just (k)not sure which method to use to start them and aftercare. I am caucasian with mixed textured hair (it's coarse, thick, and curly on the bottom and fine, limp and super wavy on the top.) I only wash my hair once or twice a week and only use a wide tooth comb or pick once every month or so. I used the back-combing method the first time and I found that my hair doesn't take to teasing very well and all those hours were wasted because even though I used wax, they were coming loose. (I also wasn't washing it which probably contributed to it because of the excessive oils, maybe?) I was thinking about getting it started in a salon but there are just way too many horror stories. So, if there is anyone out there that could offer a couple of pearls of wisdom it would be much appreciated. =)
