Quoting soaringeagle's post for the sake of adding to it.

Regardless of how any given individual starts his or her dread locks they all take time before they are mature.

If there is one thing I have learned it's this... WAX is BAD, NATURAL is GOOD

Here's a bit of my experience so far, at 44 days in... My hair was about to the middle of my back, 12 or so inches long, it's on the fine side and it's a little wavy... I stopped brushing, stopped conditioning, and started using SE's fabulous baking soda wash 2-3 times a week, after the wash I rub my scalp with a towel for a minute or two and squeeze as much water out with the towel as I can and then separate the forming locks from one another. That's it... I was super O.C.D. about brushing my hair before I took the leap into dreading, and just for personal gratification I did twist and rip a couple locks in during my first week and I sometimes find myself rolling or twisting gently when my hands aren't busy, but for the most part, I just let go. It sounds too simple to be true, but that's all there is to it. No brush, no conditioner and USE THE BAKING SODA WASH MIX! I hope this helps a little. Good luck with your journey :)
