Your hairs are beautiful, as are you. I went through the same thing as you. Thinking I wanted perfectly maintained, uniform dreads. Didn't take me long to get over that! heh I quickly fell in love with all the lumps, bumps and craziness. Even after almost 5 years (next April), I can't keep my hands out of them.
These are beautiful!! So are you 
I loved reading this, I wanted "perfect" dreads at first too, now I love the crazy stuff each of them does! Only have three so I admire you going for it all at once
They're beautiful. I'm thinking of doing some t'n'r myself, as a gauge, how long did your "wiggles" take to settle down?
My wiggles an loops are settling but they won't be completely done for a while. I'm in my 7th month now and they started popping up around my 2nd thru 4th months. The twist and rip method is what works best in my opinion. I had a friend do my whole head with a mixture of tnr and backcombing and they started locking upimmediatelybut I did one dread near the front of my head myself using just the tnr method and it looks better than the rest. I'm so proud of it too.

My God, you are gorgeous!
My family reacted the same way with my dreadlocks. My dad even yelled at me because he said "he didn't like the path I was heading down" because of my dreads. And then everyone in my family assumed I was some pothead all of the sudden. It was awesome reading this, to know that there are other fellow dreadheads who have endured the same reactions. You're beautiful!
