Thank you so much! and thanks so much for your help! <3 I will see how they go and consider taking the top ones out and making them thinner

Here are some photos of the back of my hair taken today in the grocery store. I wanted to get a few in a less harsh light than the one in my bathroom, to see how it looks in everyday life.

Here is a photo without dreads, and a few photos of how it was sectioned. (Don't worry, we removed the elastics)

Ahh I see. Thank you so much for your reply!

I don't remember the name I went under on here when I was a teen, but I will try to find a picture of my old dreadlocks. It was sectioned very badly back then though  
My hair is on the thin side and slightly curly yes. 
I've had dreads for almost three months now so they are in their baby stages, I just get so critical of myself and go through the "oh god what have I done" stage a lot. 

I will attach a photo of my hair without the dreads, and some photos of it being sectioned.

Hi there! 
I used to post on this site when I was a teenager but I had to take my dreadlocks out. Now they are back and I am back.  
My dreadlocks are only about 2 - 3 months old, but I am such a self conscious person... Some days I get so down because of how the back of my hair looks.
I was always under the impression that my hair was just not suited for dreadlocks, because when I tried to do it myself I couldn't section it properly and it always showed way too much scalp for my liking. However, my boyfriend sectioned these for me and they are the nicest ones I have ever managed to get.
They are done with twist and rip at first, and then I have left them to do their own thing, only washing and seperating. 

I know a lot of people post questions like this, but I feel like mine is so icky looking.

Granted these photos are taken in the bathroom in the bright lights, so I may have made it look worse than it is. But, I just absolutely hate the 'gappyness' of my dreadlocks at the back. They always seem so far apart and just way too much scalp showing. I wish it looked nice and full like a lot of pictures I see online... 
I'll attach the photos. 

Will they get thicker and fill in? Will you always be able to see this much scalp in the light? 

Thank you for your time!
