how do i get dreads like this?
Dreading Methods
Thanks for the additional tip! I have a question about separating them after the two weeks of letting them section on their own...
When I go in to separate the larger sections ( I want really skinny dreads) do I start from the tips and split them up or do I start at the base of my scalp and then pull them apart? hope that makes sense.

Forgot to mention this to you. We recommend that sections be no larger than one inch where the hair meets the scalp. The reason being is that once mature, the entire dread will shrink and become that thickness. 1 inch (2.5cm) mature dreads will take 24 hours to fully dry inside the core of them. You can certainly have sections fatter than that if you choose, but be aware that really fat dreads can take days to fully dry in the inside core. You can have assorted sizes all over your head, from 1 inch to the size of a pencil or even thinner, they don't need to be all the same size. I don't know if I ever sent you a link to my post, although I started with T&R, many of my tips can be used for any method of choice: http://www.dreadlockssite.com/forum/topics/just-starting-out-what-t...
