Backteasing

      Backteasing is a very effective way of creating dreadlocks. It is performed by using a comb (not a brush) and running it from the ends, to the roots. the hair must be section into finger lenght parts, or bigger depending on you thickness prefrence. After your whole head is backteased (it will look frayed and tangled) you through a little waxe in there to tighten the dread. After your whole head is done dont wash your hair for a while (about a week) and let the waxe sit. Of couse this is only if you are just starting your locks. if your dreadz are already formed it really doesnt matter when you put waxe in, or wash your hair. Backteasing has to be performed several times before the dread actually starts to form and twist. so keep this advice, and try this method.
