First of all your hair should be as long as possible or the longest length you are alright with. Here my advice would be at least three inches you should own, then much patience is needed to finish this task. The second job is to think how big you want your dreads to be. Thicker dreads become compact easier and sooner. As a result, it is harder to brush them out. Commonly it should not be thinner than half an inch either no thicker than an inch.

The secret is that greese actually lubricates and prohibits real dread formation. Shampoo your hair beforehand, and do not use conditioner as this will make your hair become harder which is not good for dreading your locks. Then you need to unknot, untangle, and section your hair. Start with the underside of the hair and work your way forward would be great. To fix your parted hair, rubber band would help. Leave one strand to backcomb it through. This step is very important and would require a bit patience to make the section resemble a dreadlock. Then start your twist. Then you could rub fine wood fire ash through your dreads to make a big difference in the beginning, and remember to clean out the ash later which is harmful to your hair. After done all the strands, just leave the braids in for 10 days. During this time, you could wash them, but do not use conditioner. Ten days later, you could remove the elastic bands one band at a time. Then apply a metal comb, startging from nearly an inch off your scalp and towards the end. You should handle the strands one by one. Remember after backcombing and twisting, reattach the elastic bands at each end of the dreadlock. All right, after done all that, you will finish all, and the dreadlock you desire would be. During the process, do not use wax, which absolutely will make your hair more hard to comb.
