    Okay, my hair is long... down to my butt.

    I don't want to backcomb for that reason.

    So what is the best (read = easiest) to dread my hair so that it doesn't just
    clump in one or two spots.

    Namaste!!

    long hait dreads very quickly naturasly
    stop combing stop conditioning
    wssh with residue free soap abd keep ontop of seperating
    within days u should see it seperate into secyions..puull 1 section from otherhrt to break any connecting hairs
    the sexctions should start knotting quickly
    weart a wool tam alkot but seperate after u take it off
    u should see dreads forming in weeks or so but will take longer to tighten aned mature

    if u can id love a time lapse vid like a frame a day type thing actualy maybe a few frames a day for the next several months or a year..

    This is kind of what I tried last time, and I ended up with "blobs" on one side of my head. I'd like to have thin dreads. I tried twisting into thin sections and I still ended up with the clumping blobs. Will those go away if I just leave them alone, or should I do something about them?
