Community PageI like the aloe vera idea.
I had 'em twice, first time over a decade ago and used Dredhead HQ, which worked great. Bleached 'em too much one time though and half of my hair melted off at the scalp.
I wanted them again six years ago but wanted to do 'em naturally (but fast). I think I just soaked my hair (especially at the scalp) in really thick salt water and lemon juice and did quite a bit of back combing and palm rolling, but not near as much as the first time w/ the products. My hair seemed to want to dred up on it's own (and I have very fine, straight, oily caucasian hair). I just made sure to keep seperating them. Anyway, they took off fast, and no wax that time around. I remember I went into this vegan restaraunt and the guy behind the counter (who had dreds down to his ass) said "Wow, your dreds look good. What's it been, about four months?" I said "No, four days."
