How long was your hair before you got your dreadies?

I want to get mine as soon as possible, but I've seen 1 inch dreadies before and they look like ass. So what's the best length to dread up?

P.S. I'm at 1.5 inches.

 

nearly 20 inches

 

I don't know how many inches it was, but it was down to my ass.

 

ditto neoteny, from top of my head - 30 inches

 

like...7? lol

 

just a bit below the shoulders in the back, and just above my shoulders in the front.

 

not an inch, but short is nice because they will become really really tight as they grow very quickly, easy maintinence for the time maintinence is needed. I grew my hair out from scratch withno combs or anything, and they locked up very very tightly and continued to grow very tightly from the root.

 

backombing about 4-5 atleast but nautral just put down the comb and get sime dread shampoo.. i recomend knotty boy

 

my hair was about 3 or 4 inches in the back maybe 5 or 6 in the front.............

 

My hair was about an inch or 2...but it's extremely curly so it looked more like half an inch

 

my hair was about 3 inches when I got mine done
they kinda looked realy thin locks, 18 months on the've
phatened up a little

 

Ok, so the majority is between, 7 - 30 inches. That's cool. I'll probably do 'em up at maybe 5 inches.

P.S. Could I let 'em go natural if I use dread shampoo?

 

^^ ya dude stop combing and using regular shampoo and conditioner.. wash once a week amy be less for natural and in a year you will be proud

 

Mine was about four inches in the front. The back was about half an inch long.. I just let that grow out and it locked by itself.

I had the trendy long front, spiky back thing goin' on.

 

mine was to my shoulders or a little past them... haha idk how many inches that is tho

 

mine was about 12-14inchs .. reasonably long!

(how wrong does that sound)

 

Mine was between 1 and 5 inches depending on the location on my head. The 5 inch places are doing fine but all the backcombing on the short ones came out. I just left that hair loose (it's at the base of my skull) and I figure it'll do what it wants when it wants.

so, as for methods, you can backcomb, use the special shampoo, or just barely ever wash your hair? are there more than that? roughly how long would each of those take? my hair is roughly 3 inches, well right at the bangs zey are, at least thats what my mom just told me....(she dont know i want them)....would that be long enough to begin one of these methods?

 

Yeah, that's pretty much what happened with mine. The back has formed itself into some nice fatties.. but I still have a lot of loose, straight hair around my neck.

 

i's is likin some answers ......anywho i actually went an measured the front part of my hair an it was like almost six inches...i also took a regular comb and did some backcombing just for some fun and it seemed to get real tangled after only a few small combs....so could i just go with backcombing my hair? i went to knotty boy for some info and they said to use wax and i really am not likin that idea so any help would be appreciated
