Hi Muchquashim. THEY WILL GET FATTER......Your dreads area certainly still on their journey. by the look of your pics, they are a perfect size. To reach maturity, they do their thing of shrinking and looping. causing them to slowly creep up and become that scalp section. This can take up to one - two years. I am at 1 1/2 years and also did T&R. Mine are a lot fatter now, but not yet all the way up. The T&R method actually sets us back with the journey, so it takes us a little longer for them to mature. Your dreads will still get shorter with shrinkage, but that's a good thing, it means they are fattening up for you. Have patience, don't let them congo. Like I said, in your pic the sections look fine, especially the scalp area size, don't worry, just be amazed when it does happen.....if you did your T&R too tight, then it will take longer......peace
