Questions about sectioning hair!

General Questions

its not 3 inches thick, but the part that is 3/4ths of an inch thick is 3 inches long and then it goes into being 1/8th of an inch thick.

does that make sense?

How much will they thicken?

The babies i have now are about 3/4th an inch thick for like 3 inches at the base and then 1/8th of an inch thick for the other foot of their length.

I don't think my hair is so thin, but more damaged and broken because i have had it long for so long.

Thank you!

id make em smaller 1 and 1/2 is pretty damn big 1 inch is the max id recomend

1/2 inch i[or less is best g]for thinner hair

id actualy mix em up alot 1/4 1/8 1/2 maybe 1 or 2 that are about an inch to 3/4 but wouldnt gio over an inch unless u want big fat huge dreads

but with fine hair a blend of mostly small and a few thick looks best

otherwise u will have like 10 fat dreads huge gaps between

Hello, This is my first post!

I did the bottom layer of my hair and there are 4 dreads and each section is about 1 and a half inches square, but after using the twist and rip method to dread them, they start at about half an inch and then quickly taper into being thinner than a pencil.

I am wondering how much they will thicken up and if I should comb them out an go with smaller sections? or bigger? I am just worried that my hair is too thin. My hair is also quite long and it goes down to the small of my back/waist.

Thank you for any help!

Lia
