They look ok, but from the picture, it looks like your sections are pretty big. The locks may not seem that big, but as they mature and grow out, they end up being roughly as large as the section. it looks likeyour sections are about 1 inch or bigger for some. If you want fat locks, let me know. I have massive ones, and can give you some tips on how to wash and dry them so they don't grow mold inside. fat locks retain more water fr MUCH longer.

Yeah i defiantly want skinnier dreads, so thanks for the tip, and ps i was looking at your profile and noticed your also from philly, go flyers! haha

your from philly too join our new site www.phillyhangout.com tooooo

now i would actualy comb those out and go natural backcomb looks goofy as hell early on plus you have the perfect hajr for ntural dreads and vbackcombing extra curly acfro like hair is extra damaging to the hair

so comb em ot[=ut start washing with a dread shampoo or use the baking soda recipe and watch it dread it will dread fast but if u want skil=nny dreads seperate often to keeo em thin'

No worries. Where in philly are you at? I'm in the North East.

Yeah, I'd comb them out, and start just washing with a lock friendly shampoo/soap. There are a few really good ones. In Philly, you can use either Dr. Bronners or the BS/ACV wash without worrying about hard water. Or Bucks County Soap makes really nice ones. Their site is dreadlockshampoo.com. Vicki love dealing with people from the area and is really friendly. She ships super fast too

yea she not only makes the best dread soaps shes super kind..and local is nice too
