Dreads only a dream, sittin on the verrryy beginning

Introduce Yourself

oh and one more question, once my hair gets long enough i was planning on holding most of it back with a bandana or something, that wont hamper any dread growth or development will it? Of course I wouldn't be sleeping with it on.

Yea why not, all i gotta do is...nothing, right? with the exception of getting the non residue soap for my hair and mix up that baking soda/vinegar wash...

I was going to stay away from backcombing, wanted to go completely natural. So i guess ill just grow it out, and leave it alone for the most part, hopefully it wont get to messy as it grows. But thank you for your responses!

I had dreads once before, way back when i was in middle school i dreaded my mohawk, but since i was totally naive and misinformed, me and my friend created them with backcombing and wax, not to well done. Long story short, only had em for like 6 months. Since then I've been wanting to get a full head of dreads, just decided that this would be the year i start...8 years later.My hair is just a little over an inch now but you gotta start somewhere, right? Natural is my preferred and chosen method, my hair grows straight and thick, so my question is at what length would you guys recommend i start the process?Thanks a lot, and this website has been unbelievably helpful.

Those look amazing, especially for how young they are! Some serious inspiration right there, guess I should set some time aside for wind therapy.
