It depends on which method you use.
Backcombing
You will loose about 20%-30% of your length when you dread your hair, you will loose more if you make the dreads really big or if you backcomb large amounts of hair at a time and you will loose less length if you make smaller dreds and backcomb a little bit of hair at a time.

Twist and Rip
You could loose, 50% of your length or 30%, it could go either way, your hair chooses, how it wants to knot

Neglect
You could loose, 50% of your length or 30%, it could go either way, your hair chooses, how it wants to knot

Dread Perm
You shouldn’t loose much length at all, but you could loose a lot, because a lot of your hair could break off.

Twisting
You will barely loose any length, maybe 20% at most.

Comb rubbing
Well you don’t have much length to start with; you won’t loose enough to notice.

Dread Braiding
You will probably only loose about 10% of your length, because braids do not take much length once they are in and the hair won’t have much room to move and shorten.

Silky Dreads
You won’t loose any length; these are just temporary dreads. When you are tired of them just take the extensions out.

Industrial Dreads
It depends on what method you use first to make your dreads. Industrial dreads are just dreads with wire in them so they are flexible

Loomed Dreads
You will not loose any length with loomed dreads because they are temporary. Loomed dreads are dreaded hair extensions added to your hair.

Twist & Pin

You will loose 10%-20% of your length.
