I have to say, you're one of the few people who look like they were born with the bright pink hair color. It's amazingly complimentary to your skin tone! I'm about to turn sixty and have a few things that have been on my bucket list and one of them is these loc's. Thank you for the tutorial!
Not saying these aren’t “real” dreads, but for real dreads no matter the amount of time you have actually had your own hair dreaded you can brush them out. You never have to shave your hair to get rid of dreadlocks. Most people don’t know that. But girl this is awesome!
I also brushed mine out. I had waist length dreadlocks for over 2 years. And once I was done . I brushed them out. Took patience and alot of conditioner but well worth it.
Also, she's pretty much doing the exact same thing as she would if she were to get (DE) synthetic/faux dreds which are also no commitment & temporary without damaging or having to shave/cut hair.
theres always the option of trying out synthetic dreadlocks with Kanekalon, or trying woolies which is roving wool. both you could even make on your own. but you wouldnt have to ever shave your head lol. I thought the same exact thing before researching more into it all. love your video and color choice 💜
Hi there😃 I just love this idea and I've made four in my hair and just loves them🥰 thank you for the tutorial and by the way, your hair is just awesome 😃
Wow this is a great tutorial. I always wanted dreads for many years but I didn't wanna ruin my hair, I'm gonna try this on my hair! Thank you. Very Random You almost look like the actress from the sixth sense (Toni Collette).
If you wanna try dreads without the commitment, why not try synthetic dread extensions or wool dread extensions? I wear them they are awesome and not damaging
The BEST compliments are from kids! I have butt length vivid purple hair and the other day I got an "I love your hair" compliment from a girl that looked about 13 and she had a kick ass 1986 Madonna look going 💜
Just a friendly FYI you don’t have to shave your head if you loc your hair … I have locs with my natural hair and I can brush it out when I’m ready for a change.. you will loose a lot of dead hair but you won’t be bald 😆 but it is guaranteed that you can brush your locs out without shaving your head
I just wanted you to know that you can change dreads up for the seasons and you do not have to shave your head to take them out you could do the braid in dreads and they are beautiful as well. I love these yarn locs tho so cool
It's been 9 months, what are your thoughts now on the yarn dreads? what would you do differently or would you keep it the same? I'm totally doing this....
@@tillytenillle88 hey! For the ends get you a crochet hook (the SMALL side 0.7, 0.6, or 0.5) or a felting needle (they are different than regular needles because they have little notches on it). For the both methods you'll end it just as you did here but for the hook you'll stick it in and grab some of the fibers and pull them out to the other side (do this all around multiple times) the twist in your hands. For the felting needle you'll literally just jab it in and out multiple times and those notches will grab the fibers and pull them merging them together...then twist in the palms as well! This is a much better method...you really doing even need the knot you can create a nice tapered end with these two methods if you don't make a large knot!
I would also suggest not making a knot since it looks a bit bulky. And to seal the ends, you can use a hair straightener. Sandwich the ends with some parchment/ baking paper to protect the straightener from molten yarn.
I loved it!! How often can I wet it, or even wash them, bc I wash my hair everyday and maybe I have to change this habit... Also, when the hair grows, how can I match the straights and fresh roots with the locs?
If you take a wet wash cloth and place it over the end, use a hair straightener over the washcloth which is covering the end, and it will seal it without burning it
I used to do my hair back in the day, can I recommend something ... I would finish the ends of mine with a drop of nail glue.. it would melt the kankelon ( fake hair) and could also be used on my real hair too.. then when I wanted to take my brains out, snip the tiny end.
Dreads do not need to be shaved off which I seen someone already said. Seriously tho, you can braid dreads in your hair the same way. They're just as easy to change out if not easier cuz you don't have to wrap the whole thing.
Hey Could u maybe use wax instead on the ends or even that sealed wax stuff they use on the ends of like shoelaces more of a dip type thing i think i have no clue here kr even what that stuffs called i just used hot glue for other diy things incl haur extensions & hate it cuz it doesnt stay or last & stay put usually hut inkjow nothing about that other stuff the dipping wax maybe someone else does tho im hoping anyway lol
You should just do real dreads. They don't ruin your hair at all, it's a protective style. Do a few at the back (twist and rip/crochet method would likely work best for your hair type) and see how you like it. If it's not your thing you can always brush them out but if you love it you can do more✌️
Any advice on keeping them from sliding? Im trying them out for my first time and i got a handful in so far. I decided not to wrap all of them but some of the braids are sliding down. Are they not tight enough?
100% wool yard no? You mentioned acrylic coz it wont dry out hair. I put in wool locs that look just like dreadlocs and braided in. LUV how these look. I have a death hawk so I only have the center of my head with hair😎🤘🏻
Gurrrrl can't see any of ur how to actually braid ya gotta do one maybe on the table with the camera directly at the situation cuz while I absolutely love ur hair and have been dying to do this I'm still totally clueless as to how u did it completely lost pls do one just showing the actual braid darlin begging here lol ❤
I put it all up when I shower. And then I wash the top part that is when its wash day. I have gotten them wet tho and I didn’t feel like they smelled weird. I for sure would not put shampoo on them tho
@@tillytenillle88 okay thank you🥰 i’ve never done this or had real dread but i plan on it and i’m excited, just wanna make sure i’ve got all the information
do not do this if you want the roots of your hair to get knotted and matted to shit, she forgets to mention that part and i had to rip out most my hair as i did the entire bottom half of my head with this
Has anyone yelled at you or attacked you for cultural appropriation over dreadlocks? There was a case here where someone was attacked and I got so scared of having dreads and cut them all. This looks amazing but it's kinda scary.
Hi, I have not been attacked for this, but if I was I would probably just lovingly bring up that my ancestry is Norse and Celtic which also used hairstyles with dreads, braids, and beads. Again with so much love, peace, and respect. 💕🙏🏼
@@tillytenillle88they didn't have dreads, but instead had Plaits, which are very similar. However, if worn with respect, I don't feel as though it's cultural appropriation for a white person to wear dreadlocks. I also have Norse ancestry (Swedish and Norwegian) but I also have a few extended family members that are black. Haitian Creole to be exact. So I've got such weird blend of culture lol. Part of my family is Native American, then you've got those that are Norse, German, and other western European countries, then Haitian Creole 😂 I love it.

You wouldnt need to shave your head, it is possible to brush them out
I brushed mine out, took me about a month lol, I have a lot of hair
I also brushed mine out. I had waist length dreadlocks for over 2 years. And once I was done . I brushed them out. Took patience and alot of conditioner but well worth it.
Ty for this
Does that damage your natural hair?
Also, she's pretty much doing the exact same thing as she would if she were to get (DE) synthetic/faux dreds which are also no commitment & temporary without damaging or having to shave/cut hair.
Use a hot handheld garment steamer instead of a lighter. No brown/black melted plastic.
Or even a hair straightener would work. Maby just sandwich the ends with some parchment/baking paper to protect the straightener from melted yarn.
I use a damp washcloth, nice for keeping the hair I use down and a nice clean closure at the end
Thank you!! You guys are awesome❤
Absolutely love your pink hair and love the 2 different shades, really suits you!

Your hair is beautiful!
Thank you for the tutorial! 😁
Thank you so much for showing us! Please do more videos about care and upkeep!
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing ❤
Use a torch lighter...you won't get the black from the regular lighter...it's not the wool and heat it's the chemicals from those lighters
I'm gonna have to try this 💜
LOVVVVE IT!! I'm ordering stuff right now after your video. ...this is so my style..I like my mom bun wild and full 🎉 Funn!! I can't wait to try.
Use a flat iron and damp wash cloth to seal the ends.
This is soooo beautiful

Beautiful hair i wanna learn this 💯👌

I would love to learn how to do this!
You mention using hot glue. Fray check clear fabric glue is another good option. Cute hair btw!
It's been 9 months, what are your thoughts now on the yarn dreads? what would you do differently or would you keep it the same? I'm totally doing this....
When kids compliment me it makes me feel young and hip again, for real lol.
PS- when I'm old I'm totally having Targaryen dreads 😁😉
Love it ! Can you please speak to the placement? How many for the partial look ?
What are the colors you used in your hair? I love the deep and highlight pinks
Question! If I brushed out yarn. Backbrushed it and crochet it, to make a loc do you think it will be a sturdy dread?
Have you tried looping the ends back in with a crochet hook? Love how you're doing them but agree the burning doesn't leave it a bit dark
No I havent, I would love to learn a different technique for the ends tho. The hot glue worked but was a little messier than I had planned lol.
@@tillytenillle88 hey! For the ends get you a crochet hook (the SMALL side 0.7, 0.6, or 0.5) or a felting needle (they are different than regular needles because they have little notches on it).

Love it! Any chance you could put a link to where you got the beads? 🧡
I loved it!! How often can I wet it, or even wash them, bc I wash my hair everyday and maybe I have to change this habit... Also, when the hair grows, how can I match the straights and fresh roots with the locs?
Thx for the tips
If you take a wet wash cloth and place it over the end, use a hair straightener over the washcloth which is covering the end, and it will seal it without burning it
Could you brush the end few inches out with a pet slicker bush and then twist and dip in boiling water to seal?
I love the hair color!! What color is it?
Or use a needle and sew the ends up into the braid.
I used to do my hair back in the day, can I recommend something ... I would finish the ends of mine with a drop of nail glue.. it would melt the kankelon ( fake hair) and could also be used on my real hair too.. then when I wanted to take my brains out, snip the tiny end.
Maybe you could use a flat iron or curling iron on the ends. On low heat but hot enough to melt a bit. It might do the trick without discoloring them.
Dreads do not need to be shaved off which I seen someone already said. Seriously tho, you can braid dreads in your hair the same way. They're just as easy to change out if not easier cuz you don't have to wrap the whole thing.
Probably easier to start if you clip your other hair up as well.
Hey Could u maybe use wax instead on the ends or even that sealed wax stuff they use on the ends of like shoelaces more of a dip type thing i think i have no clue here kr even what that stuffs called i just used hot glue for other diy things incl haur extensions & hate it cuz it doesnt stay or last & stay put usually hut inkjow nothing about that other stuff the dipping wax maybe someone else does tho im hoping anyway lol
I wear synthetic curly dreadlocks and they are extremely low maintenance and it takes me like 3 minutes to fix my hair.

did you find anything out
Can you wash them?
Yeah if your using acrylic yarn I looked it up 😭
100% wool yard no? You mentioned acrylic coz it wont dry out hair. I put in wool locs that look just like dreadlocs and braided in. LUV how these look. I have a death hawk so I only have the center of my head with hair😎🤘🏻
Have you thought of using a hair straightener instead?
seal them with clear super glue
Instead of a lighter u should try a flat iron.
Gurrrrl can't see any of ur how to actually braid ya gotta do one maybe on the table with the camera directly at the situation cuz while I absolutely love ur hair and have been dying to do this I'm still totally clueless as to how u did it completely lost pls do one just showing the actual braid darlin begging here lol ❤
Do you shower with them?
do you just shower like normal ?
I put it all up when I shower. And then I wash the top part that is when its wash day. I have gotten them wet tho and I didn’t feel like they smelled weird. I for sure would not put shampoo on them tho
@@tillytenillle88 okay thank you🥰 i’ve never done this or had real dread but i plan on it and i’m excited, just wanna make sure i’ve got all the information
It Will stink if you wash them. There are clipp ins you can buy.
do not do this if you want the roots of your hair to get knotted and matted to shit, she forgets to mention that part and i had to rip out most my hair as i did the entire bottom half of my head with this
Or just do Synthetic dreads
