    Curly hair is especially good for dreads, as it knots up more easily than straight hair. I've heard that using pure aloe gel is good for the friz as an alternative to wax... but other than that, there isn't much you can do about the wildness, haha.

    I'm about a week into mine now... they still look pretty neat... I'm just waiting for the frizz explosion :p.

    Oh and as for the best way... urm... I guess its more of a personal preference, there is no right or wrong way to start dreads... just keep em clean and you should be fine.

    natural is by far the best way to go althougfh can take longer
    although with curly hair natural wont take all that long
    backcokmbing and twisty n rip atre options if your impatient but both are agressive painfull and dammaging to hair they can rip alot out at the roots even
    salons huge mistake
    dreadperms yuck the hatural dreads that grow in after the perem have a different look fereel and techture

    the best way to get dreads is to do nothing dreads happen on theyre own without any effort on your part
