Hey everyone. I thought I'd kinda introduce myself. I'm on day 2 of the journey. I've got pretty fine hair, which is more on the thinner side as well, but not extremely thin or anything. The length is about down to my nipples. I'm really looking forward to this whole process... I believe it's something I need to do. I don't have any previous experience with any form of dreads or anything... I've gotten most of my info from this site in just the past few days. So, if any of you have some advice about starting out, especially advice or experience with my kind of hair type, I'd love to hear it! The only thing I'll be doing is separating... other than that, I'm just letting it go. It's gonna be great. Like I said, I'm on day 2 and my main question right now is... how often should I be separating? My hair forms pretty big, gnarly mats very easily (especially underneath, near the base of my skull)... should I be separating these already? And if so, what general size should the separations be? Or should I just leave them for a while?
Oh, and I'll be washing with the baking soda and acv method. I've actually been washing my hair like that for quite some time, before I even thought about letting my hair dread.
