Do different dreading methods make different kinds of dreadlocks?

I've always wanted dreads but now that I'm doing some research it seems there are lots of ways to make dreads. I'd like some nice thick ones but not with the neglect method. Do all the different ways to make dreads give different looks to them?

As long as you don't use sh*t in them, it'll pretty much all turn out the same. Everyone tells you to use wax and gel and crap, NEVER DO IT!!! So many companies do this, especially with the wax, to scam these kids into thinking that it's how you "do" dreads. The truth is that you don't "do" dreads. Dreads come in time. Backcombing is a very good alternative to neglect. Just get a friend to do it with a flea comb. After that, all the maintenance is to wash about weekly with non - residue shampoo. You could use baking soda like I do, though. Remember you only need to backcomb once to give the dreadlings a kick start. Anything done to them after that aside from ripping apart to keep them from joining is just hindering the process. And yes, dreading is a process.

Totally use that. Works so good.


By the way, the site that this guy mentioned up here is excellent. Definately read it around before you dread up.
