Hello, my name is Skylor! I just began my dread journey a couple days ago. I am going the path of natural dreads. I had a few questions if anyone could help me out. (:

Pictures of my hair are attached to this forum. I have very thin strait hair with no insight on how it will react to this natural dreading. I was wondering if anyone had any tips concerning my hair type.

How do I influence more knotting?

How often should I wash with water and how often should I wash with Shampoo?

And above all; Tips for separating my hair as it begins to dread. I have no idea how big the sections of my dreads should be which is why I attached the pictures. I want as many dreads as I can get 1-1&1/2 inches thick. Please help(: 

Thank you!
