okay so i have yet to start officially 'dreading'basically, i've let my hair grow out, not sure how long it is yet, i'd say about 4 inchesis that long enough?i haven't been combing it or brushing it or anything for the past few weeks/monthsso my idea is to switch to a residue free/ non conditioner shampoo and wash my hair only once or twice a week or whenever i do something that makes me sweat a lotand then i will continue to not comb or brush or anything and hopefully dreads will start to form!am i missing anything though? what else should i do to get my dreads to form?btw my hair is kind of curly/wavy/shaggy i have pics in my thread in the Introduce Yourself sectionplease help me!

I would def recommend a wool hat it will help them tangle up as they grow. As far as the length, I wouldn't expect a lot of dreading till at least 6 inches. But who knows, dreads are funny little things.
