I dont think I can make them any smaller. Its been really difficult to twist and rip with just a square inch of hair cause its already so thin, I could also be bad at visualizing an inch.. but its gotta be somewhat close.
Alright, bands are gone. Was told they'd help form for the first few weeks but if they just do damage Ill lose em.
Most locs are now around an inch even though for the time being they look a little crazy :D
Like I said, the ones in the front are around an inch NOT 2 inches, the ones on the side are around 2 inches. My wrist isnt 2 inches but I get what you mean. I dont want dreads that big but they just formed very small. That's why I was asking if they remain that big or grow to be the size of the section...
Thanks for the reply guess Ill leave the front and take out the sides and redo.
So after a few years of going back and forth about dreading I finally made the decision about a week ago to go ahead with it.
To kind of cut back on loss of length and ease of use without any 'tools' I decided to do the twist and rip method, worked great but my only problem is the new dreads are tiny. I used 1-2 inch sections thinking that would be around how big the loc would be. My big question is will they eventually grow out to the size of the section?
Also my hair is alot thinner in and around the front compared to the sides and back so I dont know if i need to make them bigger in the front and all 1" in the back?
Ill attach a picture to show you the 2 in the front around a little larger then an inch and are like a little smaller than a pencil and the on on the side is easily double around 2" inch + and is just a little fatter than a pencil.
