it's going to be a ugly stage for the first 1-2 month's not washing your hair. what I did keep a hat or Bennie on and the was it after the 1 month-and-a-half go ahead and wash it with a shampoo called "Jamaica mango & lime Tingle shampoo"
MrGamingHouse - Please do get your history facts straight. It's only logical that each culture wore this hairstyle at some point for some reason. White people did have deadlocks as a part of their culture. The least you could do i read the Wikipedia section on dreadlocks "Locks have been worn for various reasons in EACH culture: as an expression of deep religious or spiritual convictions, ethnic pride, as a political statement and in more modern times, as a representation of a free, alternative or natural spirit."
Y’all are complaining so much like wtf 😂 he literally is giving them credit ! I’m happy he showed this because it’s extremely helpful and this person probably appreciated that he showed their video!!!
Yessss!!! My hair is awfully straight and fine. I've wanted dreads forever but never thought my hair could hold them as it can't even hold curls. 😞. Unfortunately I couldn't do this to myself due to neck injuries which keep me from holding my arms up for too long. I'll have to find someone who could do this. I'm so happy I found this video. Thank you!!! ❤
OMG!!! I NEED SOME HELP... LOL! I feel like my hair's a mess... I don't know where to even start to get it back. My friend, who started my dreads, is gone and I can't find any good help to get me right! This creator makes it seem so easy to do, but it's really overwhelming. It's not him... He's a really good teacher! It's me... lol! Thanks for the positive directions and you really love what you do... I can see it!! The VIBES!!!
I have the straightest and softest hair. I did dreads in the beginning of summer one year and washed it at the end of summer and all my dreads were gone. It went right back to what I have now. I don’t need conditioner or detangler. It is just straight and soft. I now have a 2 foot long Mohawk
Yeah but u have to know that it grows straight from his roots then it curls so that means he still has to use the twist and rip method because his hair isn't afro textured
The light fluff along dread... Get lighter if u don't mind smell.. Quickly run along with lighter.. Singe the fluffy ends down.. Super neat.. A dread don't catch fire. If u accidently catch it alight haha it runs up the sides and again looks nice and neat tho I don't suggest leaving lighter long enough to set on fire... Hawaiins use a hot ember of a stick and run along like comb.
z alex depends on the type of loc you're going for. I know for Afro textured hair it's the easiest to form. You can legitimately just coil the hair using a finger or a fine toothed comb. That's how you start your locs. Then you neaten them as time goes on and more hair grows in. I've almost accidentally formed locs myself by leaving my finger coils in too long. I know that method won't work for someone with straight hair though. For people with straight hair, white people specifically, a lot of manipulation and possible damage must occur to achieve the "look" of locs. It also seems to become really matted together and tangled and really...dirty. In other cultures and religions, locs have a special meaning instead of just being stylish or trendy and to upkeep them is a lot of work and commitment
† Glock yeah, the biggest Afro I've seen in person was on one my brother's friends, who's white. I mean, his hair is dense because he's Jewish, so yeah, white people can have dense hair too
To not confuse anyone it's not a crochet hook it's a hook and latch tool .. I have been on the fence don't know if I want to commit to dreadlocks bc I'm obsessed with washing my hair.
I’m not sure where u got your information from, but you wash your hair with locs , they wouldn’t lock up if the hair is greasy dirty ,unwashed, etc… a loc is knotted up and when the hair isn’t going uniformly one way, to the point where it finally mattes together to make a loc or dreadloc.
DreadlockOdyssey if you don't fuckin take care of it. Kinky curly hair dreads naturally and was made to do dread styles. You're hair isn't. It's clean when kinky hair does it , nasty when others do it.
People w straight hair doesn’t dread naturally it usually just locks up that’s why people w straight hair struggle w dreads cause it’s just not meant for straight hair.
By Asian, do you mean Indian or Oriental? I've seen Indians with dreads before. Theres a huge Dub & Reggae scene in UK, and one of our local soundsystems (only big in the scene, not big worldwide like Iration or Aba-Shanti) was ran by an Indian Rasta. My dads mate used to run his own Reggae soundsystem around early 90's. He was the selector and his MC was another Indian Rasta. They don't seem to be as common as white-locks but I've seen a few around. Now, if you're talking ORIENTAL, then I've NEVER seen one, not even in the world of fiction, so there you have it!
BRO THAT VID WAS PERFECT DIY THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I DID MINE AND AFTER THE PERSON DID IT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVNT TOUCHED MY HEAD SINCE I'VE ONLY ROOT FLIPPED THEM EVERY COUPLE MONTHS THEY LOOKED PRETTY MUCH LIKE DREADS SINCE DAY 1
Don't just stop brushing or conditioning your hair, look for a video about dreads. My brother had a mixture of finger coils and two strands twists to form his dreads and used Jamaican locking firm wax. He had touch ups about once every week or 2 weeks to make sure they kept their strength and shine. Also he still washed his hair when needed.
Yo, Gunther, I got like curly semi-straight hair Willy his work for me? Or do I need to use a different method, also won't it be easier for me to do sense I have curly hair?
Katelyn Blanchard clearly some people hadnt been able to find it otherwise they wouldnt have been asking him for help. Smh ppl complain about anything these days
so many people are so misinformed, thinking only people with afro type hair should have dreads, aztecs had dreads too and crochet hooks prolly didn't even exist back then lol, anyone can have dreads without even starting them, it just takes longer for people with straight hair, but anyone heard of neglect? just ignore your hair and it will dread, if you want cleaner dreads you need to separate the hairs that are making the dread look bad. I personally will get my Hair dreaded soon cause I don't wanna wait for it to dread itself, but my point is hair dreads itself just by neglecting it regardless of the hair type.
I’ve been using this method on my chin. The latching crochet seems to loosen my dread up. No latch gets it tight but wild looking. Lots of loose hair with a rope in the center. I finally got one with a latch & im trying like hell to grab loose hair and pull thru but after 3 or 4 inserts, the whole thing loosens a bit.
I have dreads and it doesn’t matter what kind of hair type you have. You stop brushing and you’ll get dreads. I’ve had mine for 2 years and never once crocheted.
I will never understand why ppl with hair that silky straight want locs. That wispy grass look is not cute. No different then ppl with thick n nappy flat ironing and frying it to death. Either way, it seems it just wasnt meant to be...
Why do people want any hairstyle? Hair type doesn’t matter when it comes to dreads. ALL HAIR DREADS. I don’t get why black people think they own dreads when In fact it started in India and ancient Egypt. Guess what, those people have beautiful sleek hair. 😂😂😂 who cares about skin color or hair texture. Let people live with the hair they feel reflects their personality.
Why? Why the heck would you want tangles that ruin your long hair?? This just looks like you got left in the wild and haven’t washed your hair in YEARS🤢 yeah, very “pretty”.
