I've done it like that. All you want to stay away from when drying with a towel is rubbing your head. That and frizzy towels that tend to loose lint.

there is a post somewhere on this site about how to make your own tam with no crocheting. I tried to find it, but the one that popped up wasn't it. If you search, there should be a picture of a nice colourful one somewhere. The first one the pops up is plain and grey. But if you keep looking, it is there somewhere, All it involves is sewing. If you've got a machine, it;ll be easier, but I bet you could do it by hand

That hats probbably going to be too tight. you want something like a tam that you can tuck all of your hair into but will leave a ton of room to move around in
flat dreads
Help! Save My Dreads
I've got one flattish one. But it's also the fattest one I've got. It's only flat by the root, but I think that's just because of all the weight pulling it that way and the shape and angle of the root
DISCRIMINATION
General Talk
Eagles right. More often than not, you'll get good reactions. And even negative ones can normally be ignored and chalked up to ignorance. Don't let the one loudmouth rattle you.

Introduce Yourself
yeah, normally I'd say once a week after you wash them. But your's do look like they'll get a little too knotted, and fast, if you leave it go that long. Maybe every 2-3 days separate. Best to try doing it when their wet though.
And that's exactly what mine looked like. Check my pics to see what you're in for

There are 1001 factors that go into how hair locks. The obvious ones are hair type, eg., thickness, how much hair, how long it is to start,coarseness, kinkiness, etc...
But like Jdwood said, there are environmental factors, too. Humidity, how much it rains in your area, how dry it is outside, what water quality you have to wash with, etc..
And then there's how you take care of them. How often do you wash, what do you wash with, how do you dry them, do you wash in the morning or later in the day, how thick do you want your sections to be, how many locks do you want to end up with, did you go natural, TnR, back comb, are you recovering from any maintenance, etc...
The moral of the story is that no 2 people's hair will lock up the same. You can look at the timeline forums and see if someone has similar hair to yours. But if they live somewhere different, wash them slightly differently, or want more/less locks than you do, you won't be on the same timeline as them.
