my hair was about the same length as yours when i started and grew all the way to my butt before it really started shrinking. wash with bs in the beginning to encourage knotting.

my hair was wavy but super soft when i started. i didn't get my first knots until around 5-6 months. i didn't start to get shrinkage until 23 months. it had a lot of time to grow long during that time. most of my hair is now at or above my shoulders. i think most of the shrinking is done. yours will probably knot up a lot quicker than mine though since you said it tangles easily. that was never a problem for me pre-dreads. i never even brushed my hair before. drying it out with bs washes was the trick. oh and sea salt sprays but i don't need to do that anymore:)

How long did it take to start knotting? I feel like my last set woulda tightened and matured so well if I hadn't messed up and crocheted and used wax That's why I'm starting over, neglect. I feel like my hair tangles and gets scraggly pretty fast lol, so I'm hoping it'll go kinda fast! But patience is the key!

Our hair is totally different, but I had baby dreads by about 3 1/4 - 4 months, and it was probably shorter than 6 inches. But, with the time it will take your hair to section out it might have grown 2 inches, maybe.. Then the dreading can really begin. So don't be concerned that it is too short. Just enjoy the ride
