Sorry about the non-elaboration:
"true" dreadlocks are the actual knotting of your hair. "Natural" ways of dreadlocking is just washing your hair, not conditioning or anything, and letting it come together. There are other methods like backcombing and things that you can use. I dunno, there are dreadlock snobs who dont' seem to think those ways are acceptable .. but who knows.
Anyways, wax sticks around in your hair FOREVER. Like, its disgusting. It can mold, and be gross. I guess its a good solution if you want to start your dreads quickly and not have to wait for them to lock up. However, I cut my boyfriend's dreadlocks in September, and he used a pencil-eraser sized thing of wax .. and it was in his hair still. It looked absolutely disgusting .. (this was after 9 months or something like that).
So I dunno, if you're not worried about the wax, go for it. I just was snobbed up by my natural-dread sporting boyfriend awhile ago..
Good luck with them! And post a picture.
