Hey there Dreadlies,
I was wondering when others' dread had matured as it seems to be different for everyone, what with different types of hair getting the treatment! As I have a baby, and he loooves hair I have to wear my hair up alot and I'm certain that hinders my dreads- they are 10 months and still fairly loose- not that I mind this as I know it can take a few years in some cases, and it's all about the journey....riiight. Anyway, just to feel the waters guys, when did your dreads mature, or look like dreads?
When did your dreads reach maturity?

Mature to me would be not loopy and beavery tail at the end of the dread- when they 'look' like dreads. I mean you saw my pictures, you can't really differentiate between the loose hair and the dreads because they are on fire with wild abandon lol

Nice, thanks SE
None of mine are mature yet, but I started about 5-6 months ago and my first dread to form is getting close I think. It's still bumpy and beavery at the end. So I'm not really the best person to answer but it sounds like our hair might be similar since it seems my hair is the type that'll take at least a year (hopefully not two!) for them to all mature.
Actually, half of my hair hasn't even started to lock yet. ;\ I'm not worried, just really wanting all of it to at least start locking! How long did it take yours to get where all of your hair at least started locking up?
