I began twist and ripping a few days ago. I have 7 on the left front side and and 6 on the right front side. Some of my dreads are thinner than my pinky , maybe half the the size. The rest are pinky size, 2 that are fatter. In the long run will this be bad? I want thinner ones.

I'm trying to debate on whetherI should keep going or

yeah, different sizes are great. They will also congo together as they mature. It depends on how big you want them. I've seen ones that are even smaller than that. Eagles, right. The lock might be supper thin, but if the root section is bigger, you'll be fine.

Definitely keep going. They'll mature and you'll find out what they really want to do. Just keep an eye on them so they don't become one giant mat

I finished my head, I ended up with 28 dreads. Most people seem to have double this. Is my head small? My sections all about inch square or less.

The dreads are about pinky size average after tnr is done.. But a decent mix of bigger and smaller also.

I ended up with 23 at first and then combined them to make 12 big ones. your's might just be a little fatter than other peoples. 25-35 is normal pencil sized locks. your head "might" be smaller, but chances ar better your locks are just a hair bigger each

inch dreads are gonna be thick dreads they fatten up to the section size 28 dreads will be medium thick averaging 3/4 inch

if you wantyted pinky sized dreads then the section sizes should haqve been 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch

your heads not small your sections are just big

Here are my finished dreads. My left side looks good, and then the right side looks so sparse! But I have equal number of dreads. Some are shaped slightly awkward. I did these myself with no one around to help.

When my hair is down, right down the middle of my head is sparse also. This might be the way I was holding the hair to tnr. But with the right side being so empty, should I just go ahead and redo them now while it's early? Or just wait and see what happens?
