Dreads check in!!!

[LongCurlyLocks]

I don't know if a post like this has been done already, but I would like to see you all has dreads here, how long have to had them and what is your regimen. Pics would be nice too!!! I'm considering dreads and I guess I want something to push me over the edge-help me make up my mind. Also, for those that have like type 3a or so hair, how long did it take for them to actually dread up and mature??

DH has dreads and has for over 10 years. His hair type is 4a. It took several months for his hair to lock. He was getting his hair retwisted every two weeks for a long time.

These days he does basically nothing to his hair. He gets the roots retwisted like once per month and at least twice per year each strand is trimmed down the entire length to remove any stray hairs.
