Well, now that I've made a new account and have some real progress to show, I've decided to make a new timeline to go with it. Bear with me here as I've gotten pretty enthusiastic with documenting their growth up until a month or two ago. My phone running out of room was a good sign that I'm probably a little too into this. And so that's where this timeline comes in. One more thing in my life being put into its proper place. Feels pretty good~
Some details- I started my dreads July 12th 2015. I tried backcombing which didn't take as well as I had hoped. so I did some T&R which helped a little. No wax or any products have been used. I'll try and include what shampoos I used at what time and anything else I can remember. I've got a lot of pics to go through so consider this a work in progress...
Month 1

Month 2
Month 3
Month 4
Month 5
Month 6
Month 7
Month 8
Idk, probably month 9
Month 10
Some from today (5/30/16)
Here's a better look at what still needs to finish up.
I'm pretty proud of them so far.
I finally hit the one year mark! Decided to celebrate with a new hair color and a New! scented Lush shampoo bar. I gotta say, I'm a fan of the Lush bars. made my hair feel tight and clean and was easier to use than liquid soap. Definitely worth it. Now, on to the pictures!
17 Month Update!
I was trying to wait for 18 months, but whatever. I got impatient. I still have loose hair that needs to get put into the right sections but other than that, I'm loving my hair. I've got just under 70 dreads if you count a couple tiny ones that probably should be combined. It's still a work in progress. I'm digging the layered look now that all the layers have more or less shrank the same amount. Now I just wait to get some length. I could do without the bang-length pieces in my face all the time lol.
There's one of my teeny ones~
I've got a lot of clubbed ends. :/

yours look good! 
I'm also debating on a new color. Dying dreads is tricky business. But it's gotten easier since I can do things one dread at a time.
the lumps and bumps are awesome! (Especially the one that looks like some kind of ballerina-lizard)
