Your hair will form knots and start to cling together. Your hair will naturally start to separate into sections within a few days and will form distinctive sections within a couple of weeks. Be patient. This stage can be short or take longer, depending on what your hair's natural texture is. The coarser your hair is, the faster dreads will form. If you have very straight hair, as with most Asian hair textures and some Caucasian hair textures, you may need to help dreads form by backcombing, adding wax, or crocheting dreads. Clean hair dreads best, but washing your hair too often can prevent it from dreading. At most, wash your hair every 2 days. After about a year into the dreading process, you will only need to wash once a week. Try looking for a dread-friendly shampoo. These shampoos leave less residue and help your hair knot. If you have greasy or oily hair, it won't be able to knot and form dreads. Dry your hair after showering with a microfiber towel by squeezing out extra moisture and then wrapping your dreads. You can also use a hairdryer on a cool setting to speed up the process. If you have naturally greasy hair, you may need to wash it more often to keep your hair as dry as possible. Blow dryers can damage your dreads. It is best to air dry them, but you can use a blow dryer on cool, constantly moving it around between sections. Do this by holding both sections and slowly pulling them apart up starting from the bottom and going up toward the scalp. Or, to separate 2 dreads more permanently, run your finger along the scalp along a section line, then hook your finger underneath the hair where it is crossing over into another section. Pull from the scalp away from the head. Any section larger than 1 inch (2.5cm) around will produce 'Congos' or 'fat dreads'. The area of the section where your hair meets the scalp will be the thickness of your mature dreadlocks. Short hair around 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) can take as little as a year to lock up, while hair longer than shoulder length can take 2 years or more. Mature dreadlocks are tightly knotted and you can't pull them apart with your fingers. You will also notice that they don't change in shape or appearance anymore. You will need patience, but the end result will be the healthiest dreadlocks possible. There are no definite timelines for how long hair takes to lock. Everyone's hair is different and will mature at its own rate. Longer hair usually takes more time to mature, because it needs to shrink and kink more for dreads to lock up. Coarse and curly hair locks quicker than fine, straight hair.

Article: Use a tape measure or extendable slide rule to measure the width of the window opening at the base, middle, and top. Write down the smallest of these measurements as the width. Be sure to measure from the surface of the jambs or frame, not from the short extensions that hold the window in place. A slide rule with extension may result in more accurate interior measurements. If you are using a tape measure, make sure you account for the width of the tape measure itself, which is usually printed on its label. Your window may be surrounded by a plastic or aluminum jamb liner that slots around its vertical sides. This will be removed before the replacement window is installed, so measure its width and add it to the width of the window opening. If you cannot access the liner's width to measure, use 1/2" (1.25 cm) as an approximation. From the windowsill surface closest to the window itself, measure the height to the top of the window opening. Do this at the left, center, and right edges, and write down the smallest result as the height. If your windowsill is sloped, measure from the highest point, which is usually right against your window. Measure the depth between the two stops that extend in front of the window frame. Try to measure at the shortest point, but it is not vital that you measure in three places as you did the weight and height. If you cannot open your window, measure the depth on each side and add them together. Alternatively, approximate by measuring the depth on the interior side and multiplying by two. To the result from either of these methods, add the thickness of your glass pane if you know it. A single pane of glass varies in thickness, but 1/8" (3mm) is a reasonable estimate. There is usually a minimum depth required for installing a specific replacement window or storm window, but as long as the depth is larger than that minimum, you do not need an exact measurement. Measure the window opening from the top left corner to the bottom right corner and write it down. Measure the distance from the opposite corners (top right to bottom left) and compare with the first measurement. If these lengths are not equal, your window opening is not square or rectangular. In this scenario, you should let the manufacturer of the new windows or shutters know that the opening is "racked" and give them these measurements. Some manufacturers of replacement windows, storm windows, or exterior shutters may request that you order items slightly narrower than the size of your opening to make sure they fit. You may follow that manufacturer's instructions to reduce the size by the appropriate amount, or give them the exact dimensions of your window opening. The important point to remember is to be absolutely clear which method you are using, since if both you and the manufacturer narrow the window size, it may not fit at all.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Measure the width at three points and use the smallest measurement. Account for the lining around the window if present. Measure the height at three points. Measure the depth of the window if you are installing replacement windows. Check whether the window opening is rectangular. Be clear about where you measured when ordering windows or shutters.
