Hey Guys n Gals of the dreadlockssite.

I'm new here and am looking for help. I've been really thinking about getting dreads for many years and in the last month or so I've decided there is no better time than the present. I know a handful of people with dreads and all of them used wax to create theirs. They look great but after reading up on the whole wax thing im quite unsure if I should use it in tiny tiny amount's or none at all.

Also what is the best way to prepare my hair. I intend to use the backcombing method to create the locks.

Any help that you guys can give me would be very much appreciated.

Thanks all
