    Hey, I recently counted my dreads, and got to 37. I've always felt that I dont look like I have enough, though they are not overly thick. Hopefully the longer they get, the more it looks like I have. Was interested on how many you guys have and what they look like.

    This is the thickness and layout of my 37 dreads

    well
    last time i counted i had close to 250 i think with 30 or so babies sprouting
    that was in june..i havent ripped much sincfe alowing as many as 6 to congo together (theres 3-4 that are 5 or 6 combined and maybe 15 that are 2-3 combined, the babies mostly got eatten by others)
    i have no idea how many i got but betting its still at leasst 100
    i think i started with just 78 though..the other 180 or so just apeared over the years

    so as u rip, the fuzz between dreads may form new babie dreads as it gets long enough
    5 years frokm now u might just have twice as many as u do now
    its all hard to predict

    no recent pic though so ill just piost the sajme 1 your all sick of..lol

    it does at least give ya a fairly good idea how many there are (and how easily that many can become a tangled mess..lol)

    edit

    maybe 6
    all but 3 broke from sitting on em
    now have 3 long ones and 3 short..and 1 more trying to be born

    about 27 but some are like thinner than a pencil, so if you don't count those about 23. I have really really thin hair to begin with.
