Yo so i had an afro before, and it looked like my hair was long enough to dread easily. But now, 4 weeks in, i don't know if it actually dreads. looks way too short since it twists so much. i'd like to post some pics, and hopefully read some of u guys' thoughts about how it is going. imo i don't think i got to the baby dreads stage yet. btw my last haircut was in july 2016.
so how's it dreading??
replies much appreciated
starting journey. 4th week already. hair too short to dread?

its progressing well but you might want to make a choice between freeform that forms any way it wants even if its 3 huge flat dreads and organic which form naturally but with a lil control
it looks like a fe areas maybe matting down close to the scalp forming what some call a hair helmet with lil whispy curly tuffs sticking out from the matted areas/?
i maybe wrong that's why larger inline images are often better then attachments
but it kinda looked like a few spots had flattened tightened matted areas close to the scalp between lil hair curls sticking out
if you decide on organic you might want to try to separate the flat matts into individual dreads b4 gthey are too set in to do anything about
if you want freeform and let them form any old which way then yes i see progress at 4 weeks with hair relatively short its about where i would expect
what you wash with, and how though can make a big impact
