Well if you start your dreads with really short hair I recommend you go with the brush rubbing method. If you go with the bush rubbing method expect the dreads to form rather easily, all you do is rub the brush in a circular motion to form little dread balls. You will see results right after you finish forming the dreads.

If you start your dreads with hair that is longer than an inch then you should use the twisting method or the twist and pin method. The hair will look very similar to dreads after you are finished but they will require a lot of twisting before they will lock up.

1. You should make sure you have the right products
  A. A good moisturizing and holding product. You can use a wax based product like DreadHeadHQ or a cream based product like Knatty Dread.
  B. You should also make sure you have a good shampoo that doesn't leave any residue behind in your dreads.

2. You should also make sure you have the right tools to make your dreads. If the method you are going to use requires a comb or rubber bands or pins make sure you have these items on hand.
