How I did it: I didn't section off my hair. I just started grabbing small pieces and back combing them. To be more specific, first I bleached my hair back to blond. I wanted it to be a little more dry and damaged so it would hold the tangles better. After back combing, I palm rolled them. Every other day I twist them until they fold over on themselves and make little twisted balls on my head. Then I sleep on it that way and take it out in the morning. They have a little wave to them after that for a while, but they are super tight too. I think that dreads are awesome. I'm excited for mine to get super long. If you are thinking about it JUST DO IT. I have wanted mine for 8 years and just never worked up the courage. GO FOR IT! You will love it! The pic is of my two day old dreadies.

Lessons & tips: be patient, dreads take a little bit to mature. and one they do, its worth the wait.

Resources: just keep researching online for tips on your hair type.
