Galapril: Dreadlocks, 56 months | Galapril 

I would like to point out that a long time ago, before brushing or combing was ever a thing, everyone had dreadlocks. It is not a racial thing. It is something that occurs naturally for all humans. Stop the ignorant racist comments.

Good God you are insanely beautiful.

you've grown into such a beautiful woman!

god, i love your dreads so much, they look amazing, just amazing! you can be lucky having such beautiful dreads! and i think you are an awesome beautiful person. wish you an amazing new year :)

But honestly, if your so called friends turn against you because you have piercings or a certain hairstyle - get rid of them! They are NOT your friends, if they don't accept you the way you are.

Yes but if you wait for the approval of your parents, family and all surrounding everytime you want to do something, you won't do a lot in your life.... Once you're 18+ you have the right do to whatever you want, just understanding the consequences your actions may bring... But we have to live for ourselves not for ppl around. This is very important.

Awww :) You have SUCH a sweet personality.... love your locs!

your accent has changed so much since you started RU-vid :O

You should be a fashon model! I love your locks. God, you are one beautiful lady; don't break too many hearts!

I am at 26 months and it all began after watching that video that I didn't understand a word of! Lol! One dread turned into two and two turned into 67!!!! I'm at 63 now! And proud! Thank you soooo much galapril!!! My dreadlocks began during a very difficult transition in my life and i believe they helped me get through it!!! I wear them with honor!!!

Are you danish or something?

Coolest dreads I've ever seen! :)

ARE you bad at answering youtube comments? What advice would you give to the boy with short hair who grew his hair the hard way, ALL NATURAL. No shampoo, hot water, no sports or stories to tell, just growing his hair. Never brushing it, or trying not to, and then the day his natural dredlocks have finished sticking together and are all natural, complete dreadlocks, well, then he takes a (photo) of the back of his head, and just shaves all of them off?

Is this your natural colour? if not how did you achieve this? it's beautiful!

Holly Willoughby aint got shit on her x

April, what foundation do you use?????????

You are absolutely stunning

1:30 - 1:55 I kinda have a different view on that. I personally believe that I should not live in the image of how other people think I should Look, and that if they don't like how I look then it really shows how shallow they really are. I believe in judging people by there personality not there looks, but what are you going to do this is the world we live in. With Parents yes if you live in their house you should respect them, but at the same time just because they made you doesn't mean they own you. They had fun making me, I'm going to have fun being me.

That's cool! :) Congratulations on getting married. I think such thing is a compromise. While I do this for him, he does things for me as well. It's nice that your husband doesn't care, but if I didn't do anything, I'd miss out on something more important to me :)

You are so pretty and so nice! I would love dreadlocks, but it wouldn't suit me haha

We started dating first, and dated for a couple of months. I felt a bit weird, and it took some time getting used to. But I got a happy boyfriend, who thought it was very nice instead, so definitely worth it :)

I got a boyfriend who is very particular about that, and I decided to it. We made a compromise ;) So I guess it would affect it, if I didn't, but you kind of have to get your priorities right ;) Thank you!

I think it really depends on how tight they are. I think after the first couple of months they wouldn't. Mine definitely wouldn't move at all. I think they got that way after about 6 months :)

I think it is cool when people keep up the work :p I did for the first 6 months or so, and now I neeeveeer do it - Bad dreadhead :) I think it does a lot! Thank you for writing :)

How do you have such perfect skin?!?! You should do a video☺️

Hi! Thank you very much. I wore Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 004 Indulgence, lightly dabbed on, and GOSH Light'N'Shine Lip Glaze in 102 on top :)

You are really gorgeous, even more so without your piercings. That's just my opinion

Wow, you are effortlessly beautiful !!

Your are so Gorgeous!!!! Omg Ive jst started my locks and you are a great inspiration!!

I absolutely love your dreadlocks!

Of course you should compromise. Not everything in life is equally important. It's all about knowing your priorities.

It does sometimes. At one point it was really bad, but training and wearing it down more helped a lot!

the dread locks is the best a way of life in all time... drannak nabil more than 10 years of wild dread locks good luck

Sometimes they are really heavy and I have to remember to take them down to not get at headache!

I love the way yours looks. You don't have to palm roll if u don't want to. Lovely skin! xxx

Just like normal hair, just takes a little longer. I make sure to use residue-free soap.

I do wash them. During the summer I was them a lot more, about once a week :)

Cool! I was surprised they kept changing so much. It's really nice :)

Er du dansk? Jeg kan godt lide din blomster halskæde!! (Ps. Jeg er ikke dansk, jeg er en udvekslingsstudent. Dansk er meget svært..)

QUESTION: so I had dreads for 8 almost 9 mounths and then my roommate cut them off wile I was passed out (they are not my roommate any more) but I miss them so so so much I feel like my arm was cut off that part of me is missing! I can't get over it ( and my head is cold lol) I was trying to figure out a way to get dreads again but the hair that is left is too short to lock up. then I had an idea; COULD I USE DREAD EXTENTIONS TO START MY NEW DREADS? EX: if I put in dread extentions in my regular short hair would my short hair lock up like new growth ? also I do not know how dread extentions work or how to attach them. do you have any suggestions my hair is now 3 inches long and I don't want to wait for it to belong enough to lock on its own. my dreads are deeply missed !

I was 16 years old. And I guess that was a little early :)

Don't know if I grew up that much :p Haha, but thanks! :)

How was his comment sexist? He's obviously mistaken in saying that she's not wearing makeup, but nowhere in his comment was there a sexist bit. If anything, he was empowering women to stay natural and be themselves.

Check my newest blogpost at galapril . com to see it :)

Just by washing your hair with the right shampoo will dry your dreads enough to make them knot up with your loose hair. This is all I did, and I barely have loose hair now :)

Christ !! i came on this youtube page cause i saw you ! Really don't care about dreadlocks, i came here to ask you to marry me... So here i go.... How do you do dreadlocks.... Doh !! Will you marry me ? :D

I remember a video, years ago, where you said you like the loose hair (to give it a more natural look) and that you don't wash your dreads. If you want the loose hair to go into the dreads naturally just keep your hair very clean. As the loose hair rubs onto the dreads they will find their way into the dread. With long loose hair you're more susceptible to having the loose hair find a dread far from the loose hair's root... usually something people don't want. If you want to promote hairs to go into the dread closest to it I suggest cutting the loose hair to about 6 inches and getting a wool hat/mittens, something to rub the dread BY ITSELF to get the loose hair tangled into that ONE dread. By doing this you wouldn't have to worry about loose hair finding a dread far away from it's roots. Once you do this, try your best not to mess with it, like young dreads, the hair may fall back out of the dread. So let it sit, and do this multiple times to ensure all loose hair found their own dread. And again, like all dread heads know... there will always be loose hair. Just be as you have been and love them all the same. :) Hope this helps :) Oh, and btw, you're suuuuper cute ! :D

Oh wow, they've gotten so much thicker! This makes me happy. I have very thin hair also and I feel like my 27 month old locs are getting thinner. Hopefully it's just a stage because I would love fatties :)

i am sorry but Caucasians and dreads kinda don't look right. It kinda looks like their hair is super dirty and nasty looking.

I am 2 months in starting my neglect dreads...you are right to just let them do their thing! I am so excited to see a new video from ya...love ya

I can remember watching your dreadlock journey a few years back, actually had dreads then, sorta gave up, and im starting them again now. You have been a major inspiration. Thanx :D

I would love to see an update on your sister's dreadlocks!

what camera are you using?

OH MY, it's you! I watched your oldest videos a long time ago but I haven't been able to find your youtube account since! You're still as gorgeous as ever.

What a difference 2 years made on your appearance, for the better! You've grown mature: virtually no bids nor rubberbands on your locks; and much less piercings :) Do you still don't wash your hair? Because I got curious about this: you don't just wash it or you don't even get it wet at all? Don't you ever feel the need to? (Also because if you go to the beach you really have to treat your hair after) :)

Continuing last comment; The third biggest problem is washing...I heard you dont was your dreads, I rarely did either the first time I had dreads but that eventually lead to serious scalp-problems for me. So now I wash about once a week och every 5 days with head&shoulders dry scalp care, it kills the fungi and bacteria really good so nothing starts to grow in the scalp or dreads. But damn it´s heavy when wet...and that problem only gets worse and worse, and it takes longer and longer to wash.

The weight is by far the biggest problem I think...my hair gets so heavy fast and if I don´t work out my neck just breaks down. But I have had dreads 3 times and started as a 13-14 year old so I guess it has put a lot of pressure on my neck before I became an adult. The second biggest problem is the scalp, it gets harder to maintain good scalphealth the longer and thicker the dreads get, less and less air get in and fungi grows fast in moist weather (the cause of dandruff and other problems).

I'm waaay tooo short for that ;) But thanks! :)

We want a new video

The videos, your wording, your acting in front of the camera have improved remarkable over the month. Just don't cut off the dreadlocks - have a nice christmas.

So the loose hair at your roots, must you twist or maintain them too? Or do they just naturally maintain themselves and become dreaded locks? I absolutely adore your beautiful hair. I long to have dreads like yours one day :) thanks for sharing all the helpful knowledge

My Dreads are getting thiner with growing, because I didn't put the lose hair in them for a quite long time, and mine are growing soo fast! This is interesting how different they are. Mine took over a year to be really dreaded and felted. You dreads looking so wonderful fluffy! They must be a good pillow in the night :) love them!!

You have the most interesting accent IMHO, and your videos are really interesting. Keep up the good work matey. Andrew

I always re-watch your dreadlock videos. I LOVE your dreads so so much. My dreads are only 4 months old and they have a lot of lumps and loops XD. But honestly cant wait for them to look kinda like yours.

Your hair looks beautifuuuul mashaAllah !!! I'd love to get dreadlocks, but I get headaches from my hair already cause it's so long and very thick. And I plan on wearing hijab inshaAllah within the next couple of years. So getting them would be kind of pointless as hardly anyone would ever see them lol

Did I clearly not say "be themselves"? That obviously states independence of other's opinions and self love.

Thank you! What would you like videos about?

Lovely

Your hair is beautiful as usual, but my God, I'm jealous of your perfect, glowing skin.

Do you remember how you did your make-up in this video? I realy like the look and so flawless! Woud you love to make a video about it or could give us some tips? :)

I think dreadlocks are so pretty! I just love the hippie look and era. Lol. But you are very beautiful!(:

hey!! beautiful!! I would like to ask u , I rootrubbed my roots an I noticed a lot of frizz after I did it do u root rub an if u do do your roots get frizzy??

i love how they changed!! i had dreadlocks for 1 year but i had to get rid of them because the profs at my uni didnt accept them and gave me bad grades... i really miss them

You should check out my other vidoes :)

I'm just curious, but do you still not shave under your arms? And have you ever found that it effects your relationships? Glad to see you back! :D

Your hair is amazing! I would love to make them but I wouldn't be able to pull them off.

love your dread locks! I was just wondering if it's easy for people with thin hair to get dread locks, or does it work the same way?

They look amazing! And I like them up :)

I love watching your updates on your dreadlocks please keep making vids (:

Now I am done complaining, I still love having dreads and it´s much more than just a hairstyle for me. And you look great as always!

Your stunning :) the dreads look amazing on you, how long was your hair b4 you dreaded them.?

I started out with a lot of really thin and tiny dreadlocks, so I "battled" that for a long time. Don't be jealous, everyone's different ;)

What should I make videos about? :p

usually here in my country "Chile", are still in high school have dreadlocks

Wow April, you are beautiful. Keep the dreads. I'm jelly.

Wow, I hadn't been keeping up with you since your 25 month update and your American accent has improved so much.

YOU ARE GORGEOUS

you are so beautiful...like a princess...I think I have a crush on you XD

its good to know how many dreads you started with vs. what you have now. i've been questioning my dread sectioning and if i have enough because in places (especially the back) it seems like the gaps between are too big. mine are about 9 months old and some are still thin because of my hair type, but i have 50 dreads now. i've always admired the beautiful way your dreads have grown!

That honestly sounds quite shallow. I can understand appreciating natural beauty, but it doesn't make her any better than a girl that is less "natural" or a model or anything of the sort. Also she is clearly wearing makeup and cares about her appearance, it's very natural for people to do so. Please do not compare women, especially on appearance. it's not a competition. Anyways, Anna you're absolutely lovely and I love hearing about your journey. You make me regret taking out my 2yr old locks!

NEVER cut off your dreadlocks !!! I want to watch your videos everyday ;))))))Greetings from Poland.

thought only hippie girls had dreadlocks:O it looks gooood

I was wearing a dark brown with a slight glitter from a discontinued palette :) And then just a gel liner :)

It seems your hair is straight around the hair line when you have your hair up, but when you have it down, it covers it - does it turn that way after you've grown it out for a while? I assume the straight hair near your forehead and nape of your neck is that way because they cannot grow into the dreadlocks (like you said). Or maybe you just keep them very loose?

You shouldn't try to cater to your family's and friend's opinions about you or your hair, you should do what makes you happy.... you only get 1 life to live and family and friends don't gt to dictate to how you live your life (If you are under 18 and/or depend on your parents, this really doesn't apply). your dreads are amazing!!!

Love your videos your dreads are so beautiful and you are very right about picking your battles with dreads I had them for a year when I was younger and realized that maybe just because I loved them didn't mean that was enough to keep them thanks for giving such honest advice to everyone who needs some help. You are so beautiful inside and out :)

some people are just blessed with goregeous skin it's not always about how you take care of it xD

It's not empowering to women to act as if your opinion on how they should decorate their own bodies matters. It would be empowering to tell women of all styles and shapes and backgrounds that they look beautiful no matter what they do. You don't need to put some women down while lifting others up

You are so unbelievably gorgeous, & that was very good advice that you gave. I think alot of times, people feel that their hair, what they wear, piercings, etc., is necessary to 'being yourself' or 'expressing yourself', but those are just things,not the essence of who one is as a person.

you know, most girls don't look good when they didn't do their hair. but with you, it doesn't seem to matter at all what you do with your hair, how long it is, how old or long your dreadlocks are or how you wear them, you still look great every time! it's like your superpower :D
