Hey there everyone, My good friend Andrea convinced me about 8 months ago that getting dreads would be a good thing for me. I always wanted them, but never had the ambition to grow my hair out. I've always had really short hair, like under an inch. So it has been over 8 months now since i've had a haircut and my hair is a little bit over 5 inches. We decided to start backcombing part of my hair on Monday and then finish up throughout the week ... and I am sooo excited that the day is finally here, I have been anticipating this for so long now. As soon as we get started i'll have some pics up here for all to see! Anyway I did have one question regarding the legnth of my hair ... I have heard mixed opinions as fars as legnth to start dreading ... 5 inches will fine, correct? I heard you can start as shor as 3 ... any opinions?
