I can probably find it in the forums but can someone give me a more detailed chart or estimated chart of natural dread progression? Also some more info on do's and donts would be nice. It's been almost a week since i stopped brushing my hair and i can see the front of my head sectioning pretty well but I'm not sure about the rest. Thank you.

worry
Thank you, the advice and words of wisdom from fellow dread heads is what will keep me going in this. I hope the good work keeps up, my hair seems to want this as bad as i do.
How long should i wait before i start to see tangling? To be completely honest I'm not even sure my hair is staying sectioned it seems to come and go or it could be because my hair has gotten very curly.
The combing and going is exactly what it should be doing in the beginning. Tangling also comes and goes. You won't see it tangle and stay there until you are a bit in.
It's different for everyone, though. Some see sectioning start in the first few days. Others don't see it for months. When you stat seeing sections stay, tangling is not far behind. But like I said, even that tangling will come undone and then tangle again and undone again before it starts to stay and progress forward only.
If your hair has gotten curlier than it used to be, that's a good sign. Curls will make it easier for hair to get wrapped around each other and build knots.
it might come and go and how long deoends on like 10,0000 factors
or 10 million
its impossible to calculate withot a phd in abstract mathematics
it could tangle in hours or days or weeks or months
but if u pay no attention to the time it takes it tangles when it tangles
lol. Whenever you get something new, the expectation is always to be able to enjoy it in it's fullest right away. But that's the beauty of locks. Even though, they come in the "some assembly required" state, the journey of assembling them and watching them change is part of the fun.
getting dreads vs growing dreads
when you get dreadss as a prepackaged thing you expect them to be perfect and keep you happy but the very next day or at least within a week pannic sets in
omg my hairs so frizzy omg the roots are loose the tips came loose theres loose hairs everywhere im afraid to wash it im scared to slp[]=leep without a stocking over my head and rubber bands all over
now the natural drader that grows not makes dreads
day 1 ah it feels o gfood to not comb and let go nothing much is happening but thats aok
sometime later ahh its sectioning aleprady its so beautifuly messy and uncointeolled i love it
sometime later i have tangling looping knotting and a few real dreads wow its messy theres lots of looe hairs but i love it i love washing i love waking up to see it changd overnight what a wonderfully exciting journey
u see the backcomber pannics at the exact same thing the natural dreader gets excited about
1 sees disaster where the other sees progress
its a way more relaxing experience to just let it haqppen

That makes this seem less stressful. Im just too excited about finally getting my dreads that im not being patient. I need to learn patience and just wait.
