so as of right now i have no dreads and i am trying to decide what is the best way to go about this. i do not want a bunch of wax in my hair for the next ten or fifteen years. but i also dont want to go the natural route just to have my dreads turn out to be well ugly for a lack of a better word. how much control do i actually have over the natural dreading process. and are there any other methods that dont require wax? can anybody help me with this?

finally all the info ive been seaching for. and not from people who are telling me what i want to hear because they want my money.
