Dread heads

I've been growing my hair out for some time. I'm thinking another 2 months and I'm going to dread it. My cousin said he would do mine for me reverse crocheting it. I've seen his work. He spent 9 hours on a guys hair and looked like the dude had his dreads for like 3 months and they were fresh. Any advice as to the process, taking care of them, etc?

...say goodbye to shampoo, water only if you must wash them for probably a year.
If you let youf haif dread by just leaving it alone you need to do a lot of pulling apart to stop it all ending in a fat clumpy mess.
If you're putting them in yourself, section your hair into equal squares about 2 cm depending on how thick your hair is. Get a steel comb, dog combs work, and gently back comb a section. Roll it in your hands, back comb, roll.... get the big loops out with the hook. It'll take hours.
Of course it can take months or years if you just let the form naturally, the way Bob intended...

dreads and beards in the toke and talk- I'm finally becoming mainstream...
