ACCESSORIES
----Glass or Pyrex Beads----
Glass or Pyrex are very nice but will cost you a pretty cent. There isn't many place online you can find them... but go to you local head shop, and they may have them or ask about the glass blower(s), they may be willing to make you a couple beads. Check out the links page for resources.
----Bamboo beads----
My favorite! Mainly because i make them myself... bamboo grows in my back yard. Bamboo also comes in all different sizes, which is great because dreadlocks come in all different sizes! I've only seen bamboo beads once, they were in a boutique. So, i dunno... if you really want some, just keep a sharp eye out....

Wood, plastic, bone, brass, copper, metal, shell... ect.... can be found at craft & bead stores.

You will need a flea comb if your going to use the backcomb method.

Certainly not necessary, and some people think it slows down the locking process. However, i thought they were great in the beginning for keeping the roots apart.... i hated ripping them apart, ouch!

Certainly not necessary, but great for days you don't want to get your dreads wet... a plastic grocery bag would also work.
