Backcombing involves using a fine-toothed comb to tease the hair and then forming it into dreadlocks.
Crochet and latch hooking involve using a latch hook to loop the hair into the dreadlocks.
Interlocking is a more complex technique that involves using a needle and thread to secure the dreadlocks.
Each of these techniques has its own advantages, so it's best to do research and find out which method works best for you.
