The size of your finished lock depends on a few things: the size of your section, and the density of your hair. If you want skinny dreads, your best bet is to start with smaller sections. Keep in mind that you have to palmroll every single one of those dreads OFTEN – and that’s a lot of little locks to keep from joining up together at the root. Short story: it’s a lot of maintenance on your part. Make sure you’re up to it before you decide to give yourself a bazillion dreads.
