Decided to do a timeline myself if I can figure out how to keep it in date order.

Pre Dread. My hair is moderately curly naturally.

At about 2 days I already have a few locking up.

2 weeks roughly, starting to see some action.

Well, not completely uniform, just relative. Much like yours.

Thanks.

People usually recommend separating while wet, since it is easier.

I personally do it mostly when dry, wet hair confuses me. But that's just me. :D

Not sure if this meets the criteria for a dreads disaster. But, I have come to the point where I need to start separating.I had let the back go to where I had a giant congo forming and when I seperated it it actually tore some hairs.

So, what I'm wondering is:

Seperate after washing to minimize damage?

How do you keep some uniformity in you dreads while attempting to separate? I don't mind bumps and squiggles, but want to have a reasonable amount of uniformity. I'm having a hard time with that.

Should I start beading to keep newly formed dreads from the one not yet started or does this make no difference.

Plus any other general seperation tips.

If this is on the wrong thread, please feel free to move it and thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. It is in a tam, about 7 hours a day and out of it most other times.

Deadheadbill, real name Bill, duh. I dig all kinds ofmusic, especially the dead and other type of jam/heady music. I have had long hair and a beard most of my life and a couple weeks ago I decided I was tired of maintaining all that hair, hence dreads. I've always liked dreads but they werent acceptable in my work environments.

So, one question. I own a landscaping company and have to wear a tam all day to keep all the debris from getting into my forming locks. Is wearing it a help orhindrance?

Lastly, very nice to meet you all.
