Natural is always considered the best and healthiest method, and tends to last the longest. However twist & rip is a good option too. Back-combing is popular but can do harm to the hair. If you're african, twists work well. Wax is a definite no no and should be avoided at all costs as it builds up, attracts all kinds of dirt and residue and over time can destroy dreads. Crotcheting and dread perms should be avoided as well as they are very damaging to the hair. Copy and paste this link for more detail on each method..

How long does it take for new dreads to shake?

Newly formed dreads can take anywhere from a few months to a year to fully mature and tighten up, depending on your hair texture and maintenance routine. Regular maintenance, such as palm rolling and crochet hooking, can help speed up the process. Shake-out, or the dreads becoming firm and well-formed, is an ongoing process that can continue for several months as the dreadlocks lock and tighten.
