    here is a link to the photobucket album I created for y'all. I need help badly because I am currently trying to do this by myself. Please tell me what you think. Up to this point, I havn't really done much other than section them off, backcomb and simply not wash them (when I do, I use Dr. Bronners). And I believe I started them about halfway through september.

    Thank you,
    Jake

    How old are they? Don't worry about how often you wash them, just make sure you rinse thoroughly. Washing is good for it anyways. Just leave them be and they'll dread. Your back combing will probably fall out. This is normal

    did you keep backcombing them? if you did, stop. It slows down everything.
    Also wash your hair, as often as you did before dreads, you can wash less often gradually to help your scalp get used to it. Also the backcombing will fall apart, it's normal, the hair will dread on its own.
    read the FAQ if you have more questions http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=365451&f=209
    good luck!

    What exactly is it that you need help with?

    For one, wash them like you would your hair before locks. Not washing is gross, and not conducive to knotting.

    There's a great FAQ located in the thread "Read this before posting" it may help you out. let us know.

    I think it looks freakin awesome. Kind of reminiscent of Sideshow Bob...
