How long did it take your hair to lock up using freeform?

I know growing dreadlocks requires patience, (and I’m kind of impatient so it’s a true test for me, haha) but I’m just curious. How long did it take you?

I started when my hair was about 3-4 inches long, about 1.5 months ago however my hair is very, very thick and has a mixture of waves and and tight curls (and ginger, which a lot of people think is funny when someone ginger has dreadlocks...but who cares? LOL). 

My hair began to knot up after just the first week, but those knots haven’t stuck yet and keep changing. The waves at the top of my head are still wavy and not knotting up much yet, but the curls at the back and my fringe look to be forming some sort of curly locks that, if I stretch them out, do look like locks, if you can picture that LOL. I’ll try and take some pictures but it’s kind of hard taking a photo of the back of your head.

Peace.

1.5 months isn't very long at all. I went 4-5 months without any locking up but my hair was pretty thin and straight. If yours is thick and naturally curly/wavy it will be a lot quicker..

See what I mean with the curls and waves? When the curls are stretched out they look like mini locks but when curled up it just looks like untamed, curly hair LOL.

I don't have much experience to share from, as I'm only 2 months deep and I didn't freeform. But I can tell you that at 2 months, if I had to comb my hair out it would take days. I definitely have some knotting going on! You're hair is already looking good, and patience will result in some awesome locks for you.😊

Can't be bothered with half way pics. When I've got them all done you'll get your pics fix. Hopefully tomorrow but maybe the day after.
