Is my hair just dreading slow?

General Questions

So i started this jounrey, idk, late june of 2012? so i think it's been around a good 8-9 months. I wash with BS/ACV rinse once or twice every week. I have a very very very mild dandruff issue. When i look around on the site and see others dreads, they seem much much more matured and thicker than mine. I Have a few t&r ones throughout my hair and one backcombed dread. Is there anything that im doing wrong or can do to make it go a little faster, or is it just time and patience?

Hair before, very very old picture, when it started dreading it was bigger and even poofier, just for refence :P:

My hair now:

Parents can be so mellodramatic sometimes xP haha, and i totally understand you're reasoning, it makes a whole lot of sense and i still thinks you just have to explain dreadlocks and how they're taken care of, it really helps lol, "hippy-dippy", that made me laugh xD Just sounds likes she's closed minded and needs a little help understanding dreads, which if you're on this site and have read all the information you can surely give to her

yeah, I'm unfortunately really bad at explaining things :P I did kind of try to explain that for me it's sort of a way to let go of the old me who cared more about others and what they thought than for herself. Mom said I sounded very 'granola' and mentioned how she knew other parents/families like that from while I was growing up and just not liking it or something. Perhaps though I shouldn't have prefaced it with "they're very 'hippy-dippy' reasons" ...

I'm so sorry to hear that, im 16, my parents did the same. Both totally flipped out and said they'd butcher it all off if i did.it can be an upward battle. I made a powerpoint to them about dreads and maintence and everything and they seemed really impressed, you can even ask SE to write a letter to them about their concerns and everything. You can use anyone from this site to show well off and good people. Parents usually give that reaction, educate them and they might understand. You can give them all the reasons why you want them Even though it took very hard times in my life for my parents to finally understand why i wanted them, parents usually end up being okay with it or even excited about the process Good luck and happy dreading!

Parents cutting my hair?!

Help! Save My Dreads

My parents have now made an appointment for my hair to be cut, since its too "wild, dirty, and tangled". My hair is pretty d@mn healthy, i've been washing with the BS deep cleanse for five months now (doing natural), and dandruff is not an issue what so ever. Oh yeah, and using the BS is "unnatural" in their minds. What should I do, or any suggested arguments or anything??? Please, i'm desperate, I love my dreads-in-the-making, they're just going to cut it crappy or completely fuck it up, idk what to do anymore :/

Dreads like Skart? (The Supervillains)

General Questions

I know, i wasn't planning on being exactly like his. I'm pretty sure they're like 6+ years old. I was just curious since his dreads are just the right thickness that i find look awesome. Thanks!

General Questions

I'm a huge Supervillains fan, and absolutely love Skart's dreads. Can anyone tell what method you think he used and how big the sections are? Here's a music video and two pics (Early dreads and his matured) to get the just of them:
