I have all but the front part (long bangs) done. But there are only 18 dreads in total. That doesn't seem like very many... I like the thickness of them right now, but wouldn't want them much thicker. Are they gonna' get thicker? I should have made them thinner maybe....? How are they going to mature?
if you only have 18 dreads....they are gonna be big fatties. The best way to judge mature thickness is on how big the sections are. The dread will mature to be aproximately the size of the section. Most ppl section off 1" or smaller. If your sections are bigger you might wanna think about redoing them.
It has a little to do with your hair thickness and texture .
My hair is really thin and really fine...so my dreads will always be a tad bit smaller than my sections. My hair was about the thickness of a dime when in a pony tail before i dreaded it. Now each of my dreads are as thick as a dime! I have about 30 dreads.
Most dreads will shrink up and fatten up a whole lot during the first year. So you can't judge the mature size by looking at a baby dread
I really want them to be on the smaller size, not the bigger. And shockingly my hair doesn't seem totallydestroyed after twisting and ripping and taking it all out.
you can section it yourself instead of having to pay someone to do it. Or have a friend help. But if you have it sectioned in the salon...don't let em talk you into doing anything else. They will probably try to make you feel like they know more than you do and would do a better job than you would. Don't listen. By researching here you know as much and more than they do.
Good Luck with it!! and keep us posted!
u i can section it yourself just dont go huge go 1/2 inch to an inch or less if u go to a salon they will all be exactly the same size and look weird
just section smaller pencil size to an inch max
