If you have a fade how long will it take for you to grow dreads?

The time it takes to grow dreads from a fade haircut can vary significantly depending on the hair growth rate and desired length for the dreads. On average, hair grows about half an inch per month, so it may take anywhere from 6 months to a couple of years to grow enough hair to form dreads, depending on how long you want them. Additionally, the process of locking the hair into dreadlocks can take several more months. It's essential to consider hair texture and maintenance during this time as well.

Curly hair are usually the best kind of hair to make dreadlocks with. Short hair might be a problem though.
