My dreads are 6mos old, will they fatten up more? They vary in size from a pencil, to a hammer. If they will fatten up more, I'll have the look I'm falling with, but if not, I will start tying more together. I tied two into one with a rubber band the other day, waiting for them to lock into each other.
Yes they will get fatter. I have fine hair that at 6 months I could still wrap a band around it 2 times. I am now just past the 1 year mark and can't hardly even grasp it all to put a band on, and it now only goes around 1 time. The more hair you lose (roughly 100 hairs a day), they will become entwined in your locks continually making them larger. They say the size of your dread part at the scalp is what size your dread will eventually become.
