    Sooooo here's the dilemma. My hair was naturally straight/wavy before I backcombed (nearly two weeks ago) some of it, and so the baby dreads are wavy. I don't mind, I actually quite like it, but I haven't really seen anyone with "wavy" dreads. They seem like they are tightening ok, but should they be straight? Are they not tight enough? Or is the waviness ok? Will they straighten with time? Ahh the questions...

    They look fine. You're only two weeks in... In two months they should really start to take shape and tighten up. use salt water spray to help.

    Right, your hair hasn't matted yet, just have patience, wash a lot and they'll change in time ;) maybe they'll get more wavy, maybe they'll get straight, you'll never know ;)

    I have wavy hair too and mine are only a couple weeks old. Except the only time mine went remotely wavy was when I washed them. They've straightened out since.

    mine are the same, my waves are actually even tighter and thicker than yours. loose curls i guess. honestly, i wish my dreads would be wavy, but i'm guessing they will tighten up and be straight just like everyone elses, heh.
