I did also find this video that seems about half back-combed and half rip-and-twist... obviously I'm still very much a newbie to the whole dreads thing, but that seemed like it might work pretty well. Is this nuts, or have people done similar things with good results? I've read in the memories that using thread/elastic isn't a good idea on the ends, like she does in the video, so I'd steer clear of that, but do you think that version would hold without it?
Basically, I was looking for something that was slightly more polished than the back-comb-only baby dreads I was seeing, but less braided than the rip and twist ones I've seen, and didn't think there was anything in between until I saw this video, and so was planning to just back-comb. However, I also have no idea if I have a clue what I'm talking about, so... ;-)
