Im thinking about getting dreads and I was wondering about the process. Should my hair be twisted or is there some other way to start the process?

There are a few diff ways to get started. You can get the comb coils, or 2 strand twists, or the organic way (just let the hair matt up naturally and keep it seperated) Is there a loctician in your area to get you started if you don't want to do it yourself??
First things first - beeswax is horrible for black-peoples locks.. I think white people use it because their hair is so straight and they have to do all types of things to it to trick it into locking. Try to stick with a light gel or something like organics loc n twist gel (available @ beauty supply stores)
Twisting = overtwisting can cause the roots to be thin and break off. I only twist about once every 2 months with a light/clear gel and the little silver slips.. Other methods involve latch-hooking and that is a popular method too.
sleeping = To prevent lint I sleep in a satin bonnet, or a silk scarf with my head covered, and also sleep on satin pillowcases.
oiling = About once or twice per week I'll use a lil Kemi Oyl or melted shea butter to rub on my scalp when its lookin a lil dry.
I've been locked for a year now and I love it

yes do the twist. either the palm role or the comb method, make sure that you really want them before you start, cause the process can take sometimes years and they have to grow out or cut off to get rid of them

Strangely enough I was looking this up just last night. I would type in Dreadlocks and there should be quite a bit of information for you there.

Your avatar looks black so I will assume that you are black. Good because white people look stupid and unwashed with dreads. So just start twisting...
