Yeah I'm really happy with how they turned out. I had to do a lot of separating to keep them small

Thanks for the inspiration
The dreads took over a year to even start forming but once they did, they took off very fast. Definitely worth the wait, for anybody still considering natural. My hair was very smooth and mostly straight, also very thin, and seemed unlikely that it would proceed at all. I don't have any before pictures as I am on a different computer but maybe I can dig something up if anybody wants to see.

Sweet, well if my hair turns out the way yours is I'll be more then happy. Do you rinse the sea salt out of your hair afterwards or do you just avoid spraying on the scalp?

Thanks for the info, just curious if you went completely natural or used some assistance?

a month and a half? i have thin hair too and its really resistant to knotting. it took a good 5 months for me to start knotting. i'm 14 months now and still have a lot of unknotted hair. its frustrating but it will happen at some point.

Im at a month and a half now (started oct 15) using the neglect method. My hair is pretty thin and I'm worried that it won't work for me. I haven't noticed any significant knotting in the past month.
The best way I can describe it is that my hair isseparatedinto several hundred little sections of baby dreads. Every time that I wash my hair (every 3-4 days, using BS rosemary and tea tree) and shake it out, I notice the same amount of sections of hair. They don't seem to be getting bigger, mixing together, or tangling much at all.
I'm hoping I'm just being nervous and impatient. Hopefully somebody on this site has had the same issue as me and can talk me out of it.
