hi there. first i wanted to say thanks for all the great info i have already gotten from this site but now that i finally have my own dreads, i have lots more questions. My dreads are only about a month old so i know they will change a lot. they are backcombed in and my friend spent forever on them--my hair is very long, but i think they are looking pretty good for being this new. after two weeks i went to the beach and the water made them shrink and loop up. i wanted to know how much shrinkage i should expect? might my long hair come above my shoulders, or is that not too likely? also, how fat will they likely get? when we put them in, i didnt realize they fatten up so much. i like them the size they are now. do some ppl have dreads that dont fatten up very much? i read that some get to the size of the actual hair section. is that true? they will be huge then! i have one at the nape of my neck with a double-sized section (see photos in my profile page--i tried to post here but they wont upload), should i seperate that now before it gets massive? how do i seperate? thanks in advance for the answers and thanks for this great website!
