Everyone's dreads are different and shrink in different amounts, etc. Also depends on how long your hair was when you started. I started with shoulderish-length hair, got a lot of shrinkage initially, but then hit a couple of growth spurts and they're now mid-back length (almost 3 years later). But I've seen people who started with long hair and 2 years later their dreads are still shrinking!

till it got there?

ive never owned a watch in my life or paid attention to the day or even year (only tell the seasons by the temp) so i never measure time by anything but the events so they got to mid back when they did

if i had to guess 3 years? but where are u defining as mid back anyway? bottom of ribs? 3-4 at a guess i dunno

but line started off short
