Anonymous asked: I have very fine hair, and not a lot of it. When I section my hair into 1" sections, each section of hair is thinner than a pencil. Once I backcomb and the dreads mature will the sections fatten up? Or am I going to have thin little dreads unless I make the sections bigger? I'm afraid my scalp will show and I won't have a lot of dreads if I make the sections bigger. :c

I wouldn’t make the sections much larger, 1” is pretty big. To a certain extent, dreads do tend to fatten up a bit as they mature. This is because your hair sheds just like normal, but it doesn’t fall out of your head. So after a while, you’re walking around with a higher volume of hairs on your head then you would naturally have. It isn’t always a dramatic difference, though.

Thin hair is going to stay thin- that’s just your hair type. Pencil-thin & then thickening just a tad is just fine for you, so don’t fret it!
