Freeform dreadlocks are the only way 

Haha man I appreciate the comments mate. Starting my journey again to get that full locked up head

Thank you so much man! Love that

Thats mint to hear so glad you went to freeform its the most natural and liberating. Thanks you for such positive feedback too keep locking up

That means so much man! I love to hear that journey is good I hope your doing well in yourself bless up! 💚

Thank you for watching my dude!

hows the journey?

How did they turn out

@@w00daperky67 Unfortunately I quit 😭 the pressure from society and problems I started to have with them due to my heavy sweating I just couldn't. Also some of them got way too big for my liking. If I ever try again, I'll probably get them done and then freeform from that

Thank you so much! Its the only way I know 💚😊

What you need to know man

Thanks alot man! Means so much

💚

Amazing stuff keep me posted on your progress

This Is a lovely comment and I'm glad you've got something from my content ❤️

How’s it going ?

Thank you my man! And happy journeying trust the freeform path my dude

I started noticing my first few locs about 1 year in. I have to say I have separated what felt comfortable rather than big knots of hair just clumping together. If you check out my earlier videos you'll get a better picture of what's to come Thanks for a lovely comment

Thank you so much for your swift and helpful reply!!

I dont tbh I use soaps which contain herbs that help feed the scalp but this sounds interesting what kind do you use? Thank you so much 🙏

@@JackGashRawandUncut i buy the avocado infused oil from an herbalist Wild Wood Apothecary, gives major nutrients. I’ve also enjoyed her Rosemary Castile Soap. Wild Wood Apothecary personally only uses the oil and hot water.

No problem man thank you for the support feel free to drop a message anytime 😀

@@JackGashRawandUncut Thank you i was watching your video last night at like 5 am so i decided to message you later in the day lmao cause that wouldn't of been good 🤣. Thank you again

So what if they complain bro,?

Had that and it passes. Your life, your hair, your decision ✌️

Glad to hear it brother!

Let nature take its course 💚✌

@@JackGashRawandUncut what do you recommend to do for starters? You said basically just do nothing but is there anything I can do to help the process move along? I've been thinking of getting a first light twist and then never get a retwist

Thats the best way man! Gradually they'll form and then all of a sudden you'll have a full head of dreads

now 6 months later about 8% of my hair are dreaded. so barsoap works and patience pays out in the end.

​@alspezial2747 how are they now ?

@amandam4148 i had a bad encounter with great burdoc, so i had to cut them But it looked really bad in the before

I'd say every couple of days or so I work in construction so I have to wash dust and debree out

I wouldn't blame the method my dude sounds like you have some shadow work to do. The expressive side of the freeform it's an organic natural method in a synthetic world haha. What made you have the pressure on your mental health?

@@JackGashRawandUncut you know what? I truly don't know. It took me 2 months to come to the realization that I don't know. I don't know. that's the truth. because even after brushing out my dreads I still feel like shit. so it mustn't have been the dreads like you suggested cause that has already been addressed. so you're right, it must be a something else. but i don't know what it is.

Give yourself some time man. Sounds like you might have some stagnant energy that needs moving. Tomorrow get up at 5am and run 🏃‍♂️. Guaranteed you'll feel better about yourself

Cornball

Its entirely everyone's personal journey I just find the pure natural way more appealing for me! I know a few people who have done it that way and its still a nice outcome

One year later.update. Shits all good. Got hella Congos now. Going strong

How are you going to make your dreads through freefrom?

@@JackGashRawandUncut i've been trying towel rubbing method, more semi-freeform because i don't want large locks, more thin ones

If I was you I'd try to avoid the rub technique as this will scrunch hair together which will form bigger locks. What do you think to the size of my locks? I didn't use the rub technique. Maybe let your hair grow some before you allow it to knot

Wash when ever you feel the need to and I’m sure you could use residue free shampoo right away if you want. Give it time with no brushing is key.

i only wash my locks once a week i guess every other day with water would be sufficient

From my experience, you can wash them everyday. Although I can't see why you would unless you were washing your hair and scalp everyday before freeforming. To let your hair, but especially your scalp, get used to getting washed less often, you could, or should, wash when needed and gradually wash less often. Used to wash twice a day (with shampoo) before freeforming; 2 years into freeforming I'm washing 2/3 times a week.

I'd say look in to rescue tonic or scalp tonic. This will sooth any dryness. I personally use dreadz shampoo that is all natural residue free, I found this at the beginning of the journey and used it ever since. I havent used the brands you've mentioned so I wouldn't be able to give an opinion my man

@@JackGashRawandUncut Okay mate,,I will give a try on Dr Bronner’s as it’s a natural bar soap and has recommended by many dreadies, If it ain’t working for me, I will surely go for Dreadz Uk which I really wanted to give a try in future,,How many times a week will you recommend to wash in the beginning of this journey?

@@JackGashRawandUncut I forgot to say your Dreads look really osom man,the roots for your life.Let it touch the floor❤️✨

@@shyamsoorya5121 id recommend once a week but avoid letting dirt are dust get in your dreads as they form. Thanks alot man they are roots for life! Long locks all the way 😁

@@JackGashRawandUncut Cheers mate,,will follow up in your journey,,love and light to you❤️🕉

I'm from the UK 🇬🇧

Little bit of separating my man

It will begin to attach itself. The only thing with lengthier hair is that it can start to knot anywhere up or down the strand. Makes for some loops sometimes

I guess I was natural so they just did there thing. A little thinning in areas but just be aware they will gradually thicken

@@JackGashRawandUncut awesome thank you so much man I've been worried about mine because I had a few ends fall off nothing major and then the middles are thin but tops and ends are locked

@@Nothin55 keep patience my man. Before you know it they'll be like ropes!

@@JackGashRawandUncut thank you so much almost a year in

I've never used spray but u recommended spray first lather and leave for a second rinse repeat till clean

@@JackGashRawandUncut thanks, and can I use essential or growth oils while massaging scalp in the beginning stages to maintain healthy and strong scalp as my hair are now down to my butt srr, and having strong scalp is essential

Personally I just use some scalp oil but don't forget the healthiness of our hair is effected by diet and many other factors

Try coconut oil and try intaking oil in your diet dude helps with dryness. Also rescue tonics are beaut

I think if you have dandruff using oil is the last thing you should do. Especially with greasy hair. Person said they have oily hair. Not dry. That is wrong advice.

Mine never got lice was just really hard to keep them clean with my job and everything

Lice don't happen because you have dirty hair. You need to get in contact with them to catch them and if anything, they like clean hair better. Lice are insects that are caught by contact. They can't fly.

Thats brilliant! Would love to see how far they've started to form!

I've never posted on yt before but I put a lil short up on my profile.

Yes man! Loving the dread action

Aw thank you I appreciate that. It's truly been a freeing experience but I can't lie I do miss my long hair. My hair was almost to my waist and it all got sucked up into the dreads so I have some really thick ones in the back It's hard to show. They're spiritual to me and I've really gone through some changes. I usually have my hair up and back and wear a lot of headbands because I don't really like when random people come up asking me questions about them because .."you're white why do you have dreadlocks" and in the last year I can say I haven't even been in photos really so I don't have a record of my dreads forming like you have made here on youtube. Maybe I'm too sensitive but I hate being labeled as just a white girl because my mom's side of the family is native american. It erases half of my identity to even get pulled into the white people/dreadlock conversation. Hair is hair.

You do you! Dreadlocks are for everyone and if you have them freeform how can you denie that nature put them there. I used to be a little bit ashamed sometimes till I just said fuck it this is me! Rock it girl let people pass there judgments

Left it mate

Patience. Do whatever is comfortable and don't over think

Thank you so much but wearing like a hat or badana wont mess them up?

dont get dreads ur setting yourself up for failure

Hair turns grease due to trying to repell products in your hair. Grease can also be effected by diet

@@JackGashRawandUncut ive done no poo twice, once for 6 months, another tie for 3 months, for me the grease never went away, apple cider vinegar stuff was not strong enough to get rid of the grease, and the grease never stopped overproducing one bit so i think mines caused by something else. But i think there was a method of preserving dreadlocks by "overshampooing", atleast thats what i heard 1700s polish people did... I mean could shampooing like normal be an option for people with dreadlocks too???

I'm never used a crochet

Nope I can't say i have

I got lice from a hug a year ago I have been freeforming for over 2 years now and soaking your locs in rubbing alcohol over 70 percent and then tying a bag over your head for 30 minutes will get rid of them if u do it every 3 days for 2 weeks. Hope this helps

I suppose but they aren't true freeform if palm rolled

@@JackGashRawandUncut do you still get frizz and loose ends at your root with freeform dreads?

?

@@JackGashRawandUncut you sound like Michael Bisping lol

@@RippyClippy ahaha it's the accent

Yes wrap it in a towel and let it dry

They aren't separating dude and probably matted with debree

@@JackGashRawandUncut What’s debree?

Like muck and dirt

@@JackGashRawandUncut Ouh okay

Try eating my oils in your diet man. Fish, nuts ect. Helps

@@JackGashRawandUncut thanks, I'll try!

@IlyaArlenka may take a week or two to kick in but trust me it pays off. Even cod liver oil also. Keep me posted how it goes

@@JackGashRawandUncut, deal, but i still not sure if I will be able to start :) and when I sleep on the back for example, my hair on the back of my head are forming a single pancake-shaped dreadlock xDDD should I separate it into right straight strands?

@IlyaArlenka depends how freeform you wanna be man. When I grew mine I didn't want the flat dreads. But over time the flats do work there way out too

I havent didgeridoo and guitar

@@JackGashRawandUncut no I mean on your locs. When I say Congos I mean a loc consisting of other smaller locs on it etc. You can look it up quickly if you dont know what I mean.

@@ariesgirl6745 I do have a couple of them yes

If you do what I was on this journey I think everybody would understand. I probably should feel it I just put on RU-vid and I hope you will help me would probably be the best. But time is money and I anit got much of each. Except the nights I don't sleep witch is three days out of every week. That's my only me time . And I'm usly beat by then and patience war thin

Thanks alot mate! All go through changes who knows they may make a come back
