It's just hair. Simple as shaving it off and starting new. I started new a few years ago and have bra strap length hair now. People put too much emotion into something that continuously grows. You just have to figure out how to care for YOUR hair and keep it healthy so it doesn't break off. Ppl think their hair just not growing and it is, you're just losing your ends at a faster rate because you're not caring for it correctly. *I'm not referring to anyone who has a condition that stops or slows hair growth.

These aren't dreadlocks, these are mats. Dreadlocks is a hair lock pattern that can be brushed out and cleaned, these are knots and tangles that are going to garner bacteria when they get wet because they trap water and can't be washed properly.
dreads also trap water. Pls don’t make us look dumb, the difference is that backcombing is LITERALLY MURDEROUS to hair. It sucks but they get to look like Vikings so win win?
@@Takerofbootyeaterofcoochie I have a motto that I will forever live by: If a viking wants it then it's my pleasure & duty to see him with it; he can get it lol.
Cute until you have to shave ur hole head off bc white hair isn't rly supposed to be kept like this, it can mold but beyond that straight strands aren't really meant to lock like this which is why you see them literally forcing the hair into a kinky fashion. I have thin straight hair and love black hair culture. Cannot do it myself.
@@Homeside301 - I have long curly hair. I was in the hospital for ages when I had my kidney removed and I was so unwell, I could only have a sponge bath and I certainly couldn’t wash my hair. When I finally went home it was really matted and it was so painful to brush out. Every time I see matted hair, I get flashbacks of the painful hair brushing sessions. Bleugh.
@@1browngirl29 - Eh? I’m not traumatised in the slightest, it was more tongue in cheek than anything else. I do actually have PTSD due something horrific happening, so the notion that someone would actually feel truly traumatised over something like matted hair is ridiculous 😂 But a ton of lefties do just that and have ridiculous “service animals”, like a support peacock. What?!
@@sinkvenice857 well matted and dreaded or loced hair is different. Matted means it's dirty, locs are cleaned regularly and quite habitually. But I'm not trying to convince you of anything I'm just saying what I think. I had matted hair right before my last year in high-school because of depression and I couldn't comb it out. I tried. I had to cut it there was no point in destroying my scalp for whatever was left of my hair.
"how to show people how ignorant you are". You obviously don't know that flat ironing, haïr colouring and most of the things you people do dammage your hair🤦🏿♀️. Ponytails aren't good for your hair and yet you still do it
No one is hating. They’re just pointing out that this is not the same process nor did they get the same results as the black people they’re trying to emulate. Thats why ours is called locs and theirs are called dreads.
The fact is we keep trying to tell yt not to get the styles because it messes your hair it’s not for your hair but to each their own. Another point is this isn’t how locs are done for Black people at all. This is called mats not locs.
The ancient people used to form locs due to religious purposes or after taking vows. They promised not to brush or touch their hair. Their hair kept on growing while tangling and developing knots. The tangled hair then, over the course of time, became matted
As a Blasian kid with straight ass hair, I finally decided to try it out. I think I prefer braiding my hair but I'll give it time and see what it looks like in a few months.
@@LeeLeeLeeLeeLee no no no locs DO NOT have to be permanent. They can and have been brushed/comb out. It doesn't always require a cut. In fact I took out my bottom two rows and redid those when I was 6 years in. This here what's on video wouldn't be worth it. They would NEED to be cut.
@@skylarjaxx2399 proper locs that are done correct don’t have to be cut. These locs are quite literally ruining this hair and creating split ends and horrible hair tension in order to matte them together. This persons hair likely isn’t salvageable because she is literally felting the hair and the amount of frizz and damage the hair will have once it is attempted to be combed out won’t be worth keeping. It’s like trying to brush out a felt piece of fabric back to straight
@@kennyannprice2500 these are doing the opposite of what locs are supposed to be doing, then? I've got stick straight hair and I'm just learning about different hair types. It's really interesting. People with curly hair put so much effort into keeping it kempt!
dreadlocks are a protective style. this is straight damaging the hair and turning it into a matted mess. hence why STRAIGHT HAIR does not belong in dreadlocks... all youre doing is paying for irreversible damage. all to look dumb in the end lol
This is beautiful. I got instalocs like this (crochet method). 10 months ago and get re-twists every 3-4 months. I've always wanted close-up footage like this of what exactly my loctician does but, she only has low quality footage from far away on her countertop that she records with her phone. I don't understand the negative comments here. Anyone can get locs. It's not a locking technique itself that damages hair, or that a particular texture is incompatible with the locking mechanism, it's the individual's lack of maintenance after the initial installment that will do it. That's not a comprehensive explanation of course but nevertheless, this is cool. Tysm for this.
Woah!!! Masterful Skillz...NO Lie! This Was The Most Visually Impressive Technique I've Seen Yet & I've Watched Thousands Of Videos Perhaps A Good Million, This Is Perfect Teaching. I Appreciate You,Thank You
Bro what you mean naturally 🤣 this guy ain't white. 🤷🏼♂️ I'm a white boy and I've had dread used the twist n rip method and every now n then used a pin to neaten them up. Ngl my friend mom used to touch it all up for me ( Carribbean mom ). Don't judge bro. Anyone can have dreads.
@@wonderfonder4279 what you're talking about (for white people) are mats made of knots and tangles. Dreadlocks only happen naturally with certain hair lock pattern types that pretty much only people of African decent have.
I'm an African-American wife with a Caucasian husband who has dreads. I have cared and maintained his hair for over 6 years. Omg, his Viking sexy red locs goes down to his hips. His hair is cleaned weekly, no odor (scalp stank), no flaking/dandruff, no scalp issues. I use a locking gel bi weekly to lock each section and crochet loose bobbled strains. No one has had the balls to confront us and we had MANY compliments mostly from the black community. When I retire from the military, I will be starting a business in dreading hair for ALL people of different backgrounds.
😂😂😂 I did as well, I was like what in the world! All sticking out like popsicle sticks on that poor lady… if she wanted locks, I would of suggested sister locks, I have never seen this type of method..
Nahhhh that's 1c honey, my hair is 1a and im asian btw but my hair never looked as frizzy as the before photo, but yeah i agree with you, people should just really accept what they naturally have and just love themselves...
@@ukmedicfrcs Should you really want a new hairstyle at the expense of the healthiness of your hair?? That person would have to shave all of that off if they dont want “dreads” anymore, there’s no combing that out. There’s no washing that out either.
I disagree, locs can form with any hair texture in the right circumstances and given time. This person seems to have wavy, medium porosity hair and they probably wanted to speed up the process. But most people who loc their hair want to enjoy the process, they've taken a shortcut and I'm personally not a fan of it.
Not really, its just hair goin in and out, in and out until it forms a loc, doesnt harm your hair, its hard to comb out, if you want to get this type of dread removed to get back to your normal hair, you should probably just shave it all off cause it will take hours.
that’s what I’m saying like doesn’t everyone go through an awkward phase? im Puerto Rican w 3A hair previously with 3B (damage) and these people got me nervous to even start 😭
@@slabmonster1950nah fr all the hate im the comments "if ur not black don't get them" bruh i have natural curly hair tho 💀 it's a protective style and also a STYLE. for FASHION 💀💀 if it's not your hair why hate on someone else if it makes them happy
Yall, stop hating on this dude because of his differences, he can't get dreads the same way most of u can, but it's a hairstyle he wants so let him have it
Looks dope but I can't stay that long on one twist, loc, crochet,twist,crochet, twist,roll,repeat before moving on to the next...u got the skills and the patience. U go girl😂😂 .... everything ain't 4 everybody...but U did great sis!
Right! There's mad negative comments, if her customer wants that style then they signed up for that long term commitment they will become less stiff in a weeks or so. They will grow to. And if he doesn't like it, it's nothing a simple hair cut won't fix. I have 4c locs myself.
I was in awe of how fast she was moving her hands with the pointy bit and never once stabbed herself. I'm the type to trip over thin air so doesn't matter how practiced i am at something, i would spear myself at least monthly 😂
For people with straight hair, you can buy dreads that look way nicer than this. Don’t damage you hair with this technique. Alternative people have been doing it for ages. You can get them in all kinds of colors too. Just putting it out there
Someone who's jealous. My mother told me don't let everyone in your hair ESPECIALLY if you have a good grade. Granteed, they will either wack it off if you ask for a trim, put chemicals in it a ruin your hair. What happened to your hair is your glory?
@@lallen8131 you’re mother raised you to be stupid and self centered, it’s just hair. Do you really believe people look at you and get enraged and jealous and want to bring harm to/disfigure you because YOU think your hair is high quality?
This is what I did 👏🏽 🙌🏽 and I'm so happy that I totally did it 😊 When the panic began and now my hair is almost to my back bra straps best decisions made ever!!!!
@@estephanucha y’all call it dreads for a reason…. We call them locks, they are NOT the same lmao. And it not being the same is okay. Doesn’t make one better than the other but stop calling them dreads cuz that’s what white straight haired ppl called black ppls locks- dreadful. So let’s use more positive words with our hair :)
Not all do. Some braid the hair and let it be. There have been a few who combed them out and retain length. This is just damage, especially if they continue to maintain it in thid fashion. Can't comd that out.
This reminds me of getting bored and bunching up cat and dog hair into long strands when I’m done brushing them to see if I can get em into animal shapes
I went to all black schools in elementary and middle and I miss my friends always wanting to mess with my hair. They would braid and twist and brush. I would just be in heaven. ☁️ Aaah never thought how much I would miss someone just messing with my hair💕
yea lol, just realized this but the guys scalp is not gonna have a fun time because the girl that made the locs didnt start an inch away from the hair, nonetheless the locs look dope.
It's just hair. I shaved my head 2 years ago and its longer than it ever was now. Nothing wrong with trying new things and when you're tired try something new. I found out I loved the low cut with some designs cut into it and ny hair is naturally curly so shorter hair is much easier to manage and keep conditioned so your curls pop. I love it long now. Might want it shaved on one side and long on the other side tomorrow.
The point of locs is the commitment. You don’t get these and then take them out. Your with them for life until you cut them or spend days tediously combing them out (not a popular choice)
As a brother with locs I don’t understand the distain for this method and the results. I mean if you hate interlocking because it’s permanent that’s something I guess but her knotting the hair is assisting in getting the same effect we do on straight hair (I don’t discriminate against hair types or skin color). I can promise my locks have tons of knotting and wouldn’t easily comb out as has been alluded to im the comments, but dreads arent a hair style and removability isn’t how we judge them where I’m from. Enjoy the locs man it takes extra work when your hair doesn’t comply and I can relate to that from previous parts of my own hair journey (curls why 😢)
I am just gonna say this as a "straight haired" person we can get dreads naturally. I actually struggle with them everyday on the nape of my neck and back of my head and my fam used to keep my hair short because the struggle is real. Just cause your hair is straight doesn't mean it's silky
That's your "kitchen" & it's just nappy. Locks & dreads are purposefully formed. All the people saying you can get them "naturally" by just not washing or brushing their hair sound crazy AF...That's just dirty, nappy hair, & that's just plain nasty 😂
@@Rose-zf1jw no you get them more when your hair is clean. Yeah people can get a congo from non washed but it's when you wash your hair you struggle with them. Noodles without butter stick together lol specially if you have coarse hair. But whatever
Your dreads are not like mine, definitely don’t look like mine, and have a negative connotation to it sorry but nobody wants their hard working locs to identify with some stringy matty hair that’s looks nasty by how your describing it.
I wish y’all would stop calling them DREAD loc’s, smh it’s just “Loc’s” dassit, dass all! 🤦🏽♀️ the DREAD part was added as an insult .. y’all think this is just another hair style , smh this a LYFE style.
Damn, these comments are seriously toxic. Yall realize people use the crochet method on natural hair too right? Also, matlocs are a thing. They exist in cultures where the people have straight/ loose curl patterns. Ex. Native american culture And as a native american, culture is meant to be shared and hair is sacred. Your body is a temple and is yours to decorate.
I've never heard this song before (that I remember of, anyway) It is MESMERIZING! Taking me back to the mid- 1990's when my regular group & I would all go to the club & dance. We were a big group with an equal-ish number of Men & Women , so there was ALWAYS someone to dance with. I'm WAY happier now- to be a boring, cookie-baking, church lady now, with amazing, stable, successful grown kids & beautiful grandchildren. I wouldn't go back for ANYTHING. But this music has me to where I can almost smell the cig smoke & taste the cranberry vodkas & the sound of the music, & smile of my main dance partner. 💃
WHYYY? It’s hard enough for me to comb through the hair without using conditioner first and now some people do this. Is it fun to have your hair ripped out of its root?
@@lindseytchappi1329 Mature locs are just that, matted hair....There is no meaningful difference unless your locs are new and still in the coil stage when the style is still reversible.
@@KnightofAntiquity noooo- even old looked hair is still just twisted hair- yeah it can get a bit messy but what makes the lock is the fact that the hair is already coily. Our hair textures aren’t the same and that’s okay
