Super tight curly hair dreads pretty fast. natural dreads usually mature between 6-12 months. I've seen some that have a lot of progress in 3 months. With your hair type you won't have too long to wait
tight curly hair will dread fast but depends on other factors too like oilines if u run fingers thru it alot or even how u sleep
but
noone can predict natural dreads speed it can be weeks or months
if its short its slower if long faster (in general)
im betting yours will dread fast from the description
but u might have to be extra careful to seperate so u dont get huge dreads
"Perfect" dreads are ones that make their owner happy.
Some people want dreads just because they like the style. They don't care about "the process" and are willing to gunk them up with wax and spend hours every week palmrolling and doing maintenance, etc. Nothing wrong with that, if that's what you think will make you happy.
No matter what path you take though, it's important to educate yourself and be realistic. If you have very firm expectations about how you want your dreads to look once they've matured, or want to develop dreads that look just like another person's, you will probably be disappointed. Dreads are unique, and trying to force & control them (with products, maintenance or destructive tools like the overpriced crap DHHQ sells) will drive you crazy and is a huge waste of time and effort.
Of coarse, the picture of SE up there (Guy with super long past his feet dreads) is 100% neglect. We promote free and healthy dreads here.
just look around on this site a bit more and you'll see the truth about salon "dreads" and wax schemes like dreadheadhq. they arent the dreads you want. unless you don't want the locs to last...
