    so, i've liked the idea of dreads since forever and i've been seriously considering dreading my hair for about a year now. I finally decided to do it, yay! I was going to wait until my finals are over (this thursday) to start the process, but I got too excited and backcombed a few sections of my hair. I did two last night. Then one this morning, and two more a few minutes ago. I'm thinking I might just do this gradually and backcomb a bunch everyday or every few hours, or just whenever i feel like it, instead of going at it and dreading my whole head in one session.
    so my question is, is there a problem with this? will it turn out the same as if i sat down for many hours and did it all at once? it seems easier this way, and i don't really care that i'll be walking around with half of my hair dreaded and the other half not. what do you guys think?

    I think it should be fine. There's no golden rule that says all the dreads have to be done at the same time. Do whatever feels right for you. :)

    it won't make a difference. if you go natural, some parts of your head will dread faster than others. so really, your sortof replicating it...i guess. bottom line, it's your hair, do what you want
