Curly Dreads? (picture included)

So my natural hair is large, corse, curls that is not quite as kinky as African type hair. My nationality is Puerto Rican so there is probably some African in my background somewhere... Anyway. About a month in now, I'm noticing that my dreads are also starting to curl in a similar pattern that my undreaded hair did. Is this normal due to my natural hair type?(see picture below)

yeah that's how most of mine is too! I have parts that are dreading (noticeably) that are getting straighter but most of mine look like that! I am curious if in the end i will have some curly dreads or if they'll all tighten up :P

Thank you all for your replies, its so reassuring to know that theres members here that have dreads with similar traits Not that I don't like them, but are there any herbs or treatments that would perhaps discourage the curl a bit? I know I should just let them do their thing, but I was hoping to get rid of my bothersome curl with the dreads hehe. Anyway thanks again all!

Mine do the same thing, it's almost all ringlets at the back. But I've noticed that some of the more dreaded locks end up being a lot straighter, and only end up curling at the tips. Chucking some beads on there might weigh them down a bit so they don't curl as much though I guess.

beads or wraps.... I do notices if i wear my tam the curls tame down a bit after bedtime except at the very bottom.

They look great! I'm guessing it hasn't been very long,as your dreads mature they will straighten out. Once they really begin to knot up they will be heavier and the weight will help, enjoy it for now though! ;o) Mine are almost 10 months and it's a lil sad to see them losing some of their character. I have a feeling that in a couple of years I'm really going to miss my crazy, loopy, messy young-ins!!
