Herrro!! Just a quick question I've been wondering about my hair. I'll just state I've been naturally dreading for about 4-5 months and one knot has started (yayy). But what kind of bothers me is the hair in the front, I tend to push it behind my ear a lot and may cause movement in the hairs and I want to know if I keep doing that, will it still knot up? Or will it keep messing with the locking part?
Ok thank you guys. Was just curious. I'm still being very patient
Okay so I've been wondering and want to ask this question. It's kind of difficult to explain but i'll try my best. So, Is there a certain amount of time that it takes for each section of your hair to knot up or when your hair starts to knot up, it all wants to? For instance.. Say I have been dreading for 6 months and parts are knotting but there's a few sections that have been finger brushed (on accident of course) once in this amount of time. Is it going to take longer for that section to lock up than the rest?
I know it's a weird question just really been wondering. Hopefully you guys understand what I am talking about.
Thank you for the support! Yes, there is sectioning. Just no initial knotting yet. Which I'm fine with, I just wanted to make sure I had enough hair for, I guess i'd say 'enough dreads'.
What exactly does wool do to your hair? I've been using Dreadlockshampoo bar. been drying it with a towel, just damp it and then wait for the rest to dry.

well a wool pillowcase would do more then a hat
but they look thinner but fine they will dread up nicely
what are you washing with
how
how are you drying
Thank you! I have been washing my hair every 2 days. I don't see much clumping but yes the strands are finding their way into each other. I haven't thought about a hat. That's a good idea! Well thank you for your help.
Hellloo, all!! So, i'll just state I've been a victim of wax.. 
. Which made me have to completely pull out the 'knots' and that thinned out my hair. I'm not exactly sure how much it thinned out. But,I've been dreading naturally for about 3 months and it's been going okay. So far nothing is knotting up yet. Now I'm starting to think that maybe I don't have enough hair to have a 'nice' full head of dreads in the long run. I just want to make sure when my hair locks up i'm in this for good. I'm not saying I don't hair a descent amount of hair, I just look it other people with dreads and think I wont be able to have as big and as many locks as they do. I'm scared I might shave my head to restart.
The first photo attached is old picture with 'Waxed Dreadlocks'
The second photo is 3 months into 'Natural Locks'. Which that one side is most of the back and the side of my hair.
Thank you for any suggestions and opinions.
Thank you! I will definitely not wear it when I don't need to.
Well for work I have to wear something to hide the, the very messy mess hair I have. So I chose a bandanna but it kind of rests on the bottom layer of my hair and the sides, and wonder if it will slow down or prevent the hair from doing it's locking thing?
