How to get dreadlocks
It made me
Excited! 
"A 70-year-old woman told me she loved my nose ring and had always wanted one, and that it was one of her biggest regrets. I decided I never wanted to feel like that about dread locks. I don't want to live with regret. "
How I did it: It took me about 3 days to backcomb my whole head, because I was doing them myself. I started from underneath, and worked my way forward, in imperfect sections. I ended up with 72 by the time I was done.
Lessons & tips: Definitly find someone else to help you, if you can. I could have had someone help me, but because I wanted it to be a spiritual process for myself, I decided to do them alone.
Also, a lot of places will say to do 1-inch square sections, which would probebly be helpful to have perfect dreads, but don't feel like you have to do it that way. Your putting knots in your hair, you can't really go wrong, especially if you want your dreads to be uniquely you.
Resources: Get Up Dread Up on Livejournal is a life saver!
