Hi,I'm new here and joined because this seemed like a good place to seek out all the answers to my questions! Though I am sure you all are sick of hearing the same questions over and over but I hope some of you won't mind helping me out! Here are my main concerns : My hair is very fine and silky, what is the best method for this hair texture? Will it dread ok and how will the result look? I would still like volume to the dreads and I am afraid that since my hair is thin they will be very sparse and flat. What is the maintenance like? I have a feeling my dreads wont redread themselves as they grow in since my hair is fine, what is the best method for dreading the regrowth? I've read in several places that dreads can be shampooed (since my hair is fine it tends to get oily pretty quickly) are there any popular name brand shampoos that are good for use? I currently live in Romania and I am afraid that I many not find special shampoos for dreads here. Any pre-hand tips, during and after tips? Anything is a huge help since this will be my first time dreading.Thanks!

Dreading fine hair
I honestly think neglect would work but TnR would work great too! Otherwise leave it be, you don't want your roots to dread straight up to the root, you need some loose hair, but they will dread just fine growing out. Dr. Bronners is really good shampoo as well as anything natural (maylees) but BakingSoda wash and AppleCiderVinegar rinse is by far the easiest to get (imo) and cheap! You can also get essential oils to add to the mixture for whatever you are looking for!
yea your hair will dread just fine the only concern being the oiliness
wash lil less often washing strips oils so u produce more strip them less your scalp adjusts
you can also make a thyme tea to sopray on the scalp that slowly adjusts it
sea salt sprays dry it so it dreads fasrer
it will dread on its owen trust me a babies fine hair does
yours will too
but twist and rips a good option as well
just keep in mind that art 1st thery will look thin but thicken over time
a mix of sizes (pencil size yo thumb size) will give a blended fuller look (judge the size not by the dread but the root areas)
baking soda (bicarbonate soda) and vinager can be used for washing
the new growth will dread on its own it has no choice to not
but the 1st few months will seem like it wonrt up until 8 months it will seem like its not dreading at the rootrs but it will
the looseness at the rootrs eventuaky gets tight
just do nothing

My son's super fine baby hair kept dreading up when he was between 8-16 months old (stopped only because I cut it)! So, just to echo everyone else...yours will definitely dread. =)
Thank you all for the advise, it is much appreciated!! Hopefully it won't be long until I can start posting photos of theprogress:)
I agree with SE on how your dreads if you decide to t&r or any other method to make them they will look thin at first but don't feel discourgaged or panic if this happens. They will definatly get their thickness back (as SE said, the thickness will come in the size of the section). Having thin, fine hair myself, there were times in the early stages that frusterated me because before they get tight they loosen, and mine looked so thin at first but now at almost four years, you wouldn't even know that is my hair type! 
Yours will dread fine. I would def go with the sectioning advice that SE gave as well, it will help in fullness. Also, the rinses are pretty good but if you wanted a shampoo type thing like I always do when not using a rinse, I would recommend Mayless dreadlock shampoo bars.

Welcome and much love on your new lock journey!!
I've actually given this more thought and I think getting them done by someone would be better for me since it is a more instant result, though I am sure I will love them and will want to keep them for a long time... I tend to change my hair a lot! I am aware that dreads are pretty much a permanent hair style but I think waiting almost up to a year to wait for the dreads to form will burn me out before I even get to enjoy actually having them (though natural dreads look so nice!). I was also wondering about coloring the hair, lets say I do decide to do them naturally, when is the soonest I can bleach or dye my hair and when is the soonest I can shampoo?
Your dreads look beautiful dreaded delusion, definitelyencouraging considering you also have fine hair, you are living proof that they can look full and nice, thank you
One more thing, I notice when I crimp, tease and load my hair up with hair spray it tends to dread up pretty easily, I used to use this method when I put up my mohawk and it instantly makes the hair stand on end, would crimping and adding hair spray to it before getting it dreaded help at all with keeping the dreads tight? Or would leaving hair spray in the hair be not the brightest idea?
Thanks Knottysleeves. Your description is exactly what I've expected to hear. I have done a lot of research and I am prepared for the bad hair days, having them look not quite as I expected and all of the above stated. Maybe Synth dreads would be the best way to go, I've had them installed in the past, guess my main issue is finding someone in Romania who knows how to braid in theextensions, I've tried doing it myself but it's rather difficult and I can not get them in tight enough 
I plan to do a narrow mohawk, much more narrow than the previous photo (I've attached a photo here) so maybe having such little hair to dread won't be so difficult as a full head. I actually don't mind if they are little messy, I like the crusty look, I guess I am more concerned about getting them started so I have a reference point, I have all the time in the world to maintain them
"If you're someone who likes to change their hair a lot, you will be very very tempted to comb them out during those bad days" haha and that sounds just like me )
hehe I plan to try and turn my husband into my personal hair dresser, hopefully he will get the hang of it 
Yeah I had a deathhawk for years, loved it but I want to do more of aChelseyhawk type thing but dreaded, I know about how the dreads want to eat all the loose hairs, I used to glue in tracks that I dreaded at the back and I'd have toliterallyrip them out because the lose hairs in the back would tangle after just a couple days :-S If it gets to be too big of a pain I will probably just shave the lose sides into little side burns and let the bangs dread too
