the truth is more often then not natural dreads don’t take too long often faster then you expected.
in some rare cases it does take longer but for those who it did they really feel they earned their dreads and cherish them forever
its kinda funny to me when ppl say they don’t have the patience to go natural when growing dreadlocks cause very often it takes no patience at all
recently many freinds started growing natural dreads, and nearly all of them were amazed by how fast the hair dreaded naturaly, some found dreads by day 4, others by day 7 and a few by day 14
and yea i said day..not week..not month
every 1 of them was excited every day by the changes they saw.. it wasnt any agonizing waiting game, no it was constantly being surprised by the constant evolution on their heads.
its kinda funny to me that they dont have the patience to just let things happen, but they do have the patience to have their hair pulled for 9 hours straight, then to work on them 4 hours a day every day month after month..
makes me wonder how they would feel if they only tried doing nothing a few weeks

I have stopped combing and brushing my hair for over a week now. I’m African American but my hair is naturally curly. I only have an inch on top and less then that on the side, but I am enjoying seeing my hair in its natural state. It seems stronger as the gather together to appear as a thicker curl, and it feels stronger. I have a long way to go but I look forward to some congos!
awesome just remember fat congos are harder to care for and can cause problems
Could u go more into detail please?
over an inch thick they take way longer to dry and are harder to clean at 2 inches they take forever to dry and are very likely to get moldy
they can pull unevenly causing pain be very hard to clean the scalp beneath sich a thick base unconfortable to sleep on etc etc
I have stopped combing my hair about weeks ago but the dreads arent looking very good. It just looks like a big rats nest in the back of my head. What can I do to make them look neat and small/tight.
its only been weeks u need to give it months and months but seperate often so u dont end up with a huge dread
