I'm 53 years old (as of 2021) and I got my dreadlocks last August! I wish I nhad it done a long time ago. I'm loving my dread journey!!
So happy for you! :)
I have to watch this twice cuz I'm hypnotized by those eyes!
Aww hahaha thats so funny thank you ahha :)
I’m currently on my 3rd set of dreadlocks. I’ve had this set for 5 months now & SECTIONING IS A HUGE PART of being happy with your dreads!!! 3rd time is the charm for me 😊 I love my sectioning this time and have no complaints at all! LOVE your videos ❤️
Hey Crystal thanks so much for your comment! I'm super happy to hear your finally have the sectioning you want because your sooo right its so important and makes the biggest difference long term :) xx
Love you’re channel !!! Can’t wait fore quarantine to be over and get mine done !!!
Thank you so much! And yaaay how exciting hehe, not long! :)
The problem with doing a straight part down the middle is that as your dreads get heavier over time, a straight middle part will get wider looking and it might look like you're thinning down the middle.
Regardless, I think your dreads look pretty fantastic as is 😊
Aww yes you might be right... Thank you :)
Agreed 👍💯
I think its important to fip your part every now and then and not do the same thing every day. Or maybe go out with it one way, then come home and let it fall down.
I definitely agree with the think about your sectioning. I decided to do fan sectioning for more scalp coverage and it was such a bad decision. Trying to seperate my locs is a pain.
Right! Oh well we live and learn :)
Thanks for sharing your experiences ❤
Great videos thank u, I'm getting mine in a cpl of weeks , thanks for all the tips xxx
Awww yay so exciting! Thanks for your comment and enjoy your journey! 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
Seven years of dreads for me I relate to the middle dread mine is super thick an it’s really awkward I now have human hair dread extensions also ( also I love the 2 big dream catchers in the videos!)
I think your middle dread looks great to the side
Haha thank you :)
Im going on five months dreaded and when you said sectioning I was like YESSSSS. Same for me except for in the back on my head!
I know right how annoying is it! Hahaha, happy 5 months to your dreads ;)
Just got my dread extensions with real human hair, love your videos 🌻✌
Congratulations and thank you so much! :)
Your locks look so cool
Dreadlocks looks more beautiful when they are messy and uneven.
Hey I'm so sorry for the late reply, each to their own ;) Thanks for your comment x
Excellent video..thanks. x
Aww thanks so much! :) xx
Im laughing because I've had my dreads 1 month and I also have a middle one which at the moment I love. I'm looking forward to not liking it anymore 😂 my biggest regret so far is getting my extensions with synthetic hair 🥺 I really can't wait for my natural hair to grow out. Just found your channel and I'm loving it. Thank you so much for all the advice 🙏 ❤
Hey I'm so sorry for the late reply, thats so funny haha I'm wondering how your feeling about that middle dread now :) And thats okay knowone would know their synthetic it would still look the same but I know how you feel (I had a few synthetics in when some of mine broke off) but I hope you got your human hair now :) xx
Thanks love for all the tips , heads up. Im 44 and I've been wanting dreadlocks for afew yrs now. I want them so bad but just don't know where how to begin. I know if I go to have them professionally done I'm going to be paying afew 100 dollars. I really wish I could just do them myself or knew someone who could start partial dreads. I just have so many questions, concerns but ugh I so want them now I'm not getting any younger .
🌙Thank you for your honesty and tips! I’m thinking about dreading my own hair with extensions. Where did you bye them from? You are so beautiful and I love your blonde dreads.
Thanks heaps so glad you like it! I got my extensions from

There amazing :) xxx
your so pretty and your Dreads are to die for. Mine are going on 29 months and I wish I had someone to tighten mine. I am the only one that has ever touched my dreads and at this stage the new growth needs work. I live in Ohio
Thank you so much! :) Yes you can do your own maintenance, I do my own, I will make a video on this soon so hopefully it will help you :)
Hey! I had a hard time finding someone too; I'm in Michigan and I've found a few awesome loc ladies by searching hashtags on instagram like michigandreads michiganlocs Detroitdreads lansingdreads etc
It's nice because you can see their work right there :) good luck!
I did mine installed a week ago by myself 🥴 but I love them! 🌻✌
i got dreadlocks for the first time about 3months ago and i love them. only regret is that i didnt went for the 16inch extensions instead of the 12inch. but i fixed it by adding length with loose hair so its fine :)
for your middle dread-is it an option to split it into 2 thinner one dreading one down to each side? that way you dont have to brush all of them out :)
Hey from qld here...i bleached my hair before and during dread journey, I had to stop cause they started to break. I have human hair extensions and have used them to secure the breakages. Something you may come across
Yes I feel you, thanks so much :)
Haha no way I've got that same middle dread that doesn't seem to have a place!! My boyfriend calls it my unicorn dread because of how it flops to the front 🤣 mine has begun to widen at the root and pull on my scalp which can be painful, have you had that issue???
OMG I knew someone would resonate! Unicorn dread hahaha thats funny as. Mine hasnt 'widened'? (I Cant spell XD) at the root but sometimes it hurts so not sure why. I dont notice it much though....
Please make more videos
You could just brush the one out and spilt it in two matched with the front two that frame your face
Oh my God don't do anything different just stay the way you are baby you are so gorgeous with your dreadlocks Oh what a beautiful blessing you are😍😘🙏🔥‼️🌌☮🙌😘
Maybe the texture of the ends has something to do with quality / how much the extension hair has been processed?
Yes maybe :) x
Can we get a tutorial for the hairstyle in the thumbnail? Gorgeous 😍
Maybe in the future but for now ill tell you, I just plated a pony tail and then wrapped it around itself ;) Hope that helps :)
Beauty😍😍😍
Thank you :)
YOU CAN LET IT GROW CUT THE DREADS OFF REPART IT THEN RECONNECT THE DREAD LIKE AND EXTENSION
Awesome thank you :)
MY DREADLOCKS ARE DOWN BY MY ANKLES
@@thaitran-xh3fg oh wow that's crazy haha congrats :)
QUESTION ?
AFTER 1 MONTH OF GROWTH FROM THE ROOTS AND ITS JUST HAIR THEN YOU DO YOUR MAINTENANCE, EVERY TIME I DO A MAINTENANCE IT GETS THINNER AND THINNER TILL IT SNAPS OFF.
HOW DO YOU KEEP THAT SAME THICKNESS. THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OVER GROWTH TO KEEP THE THICKNESS.
I'VE JOINED A FEW TOGETHER CAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO SNAP OFF
Locksdown:) the cure is here.
Awww hahah thats so nice! Thank you :)
Does your head itch ? I’ve had my dreads for almost 6 months now and my head itches all the time and I have dandruff. I use dollylocks shampoo so I don’t think that my shampoo is the problem. Any suggestions?
Use baking soda and Apple cider vinegar with shampoo
Mine were very itchy at the start but not for that long, I did also get dandruff for the first 6 months aswell. Sometimes mine are itchy when they need maintenance, like the roots get all messy and yea there itchy. I would probably try a different shampoo to see if thats the issue, you scalp might be sensitive to dollylocks ingredients. I would recommend Raw roots, I love there shampoo and maybe the hydrating oil for your scalp. If you purchase from dreadshop.com you can also use code dreadalinaa at checkout for 10% off hehe ;)
I don't use anything but salt, and essential oils. I do to gym every day, sweat heaps and have dreads down to butt.
I used to use dream lock approved shampoo and bars then my new dready lady told me to stop and I love hers, so I did. No more itch or build up or stink
@@aliceschramm7923 thanks for the tip 🌻✌
How is it touching up your roots with dreads??
I’m already bleach blonde but I’m concerned with touching up my roots 😬
Hey :) Na touching up the roots is fine just try to do it before the regrowth gets really close to actually dreading up because I notice the closest regrowth to the dreaded part always seems to go a bit yellow, so the last time I did it, I left the bleach on longer and I also did it with less time in between bleaches so like I said it doesnt hit the dread and then it came out white that time so yea, don't stress, its easier to dye roots cause there still 'loose' hair :) Hope that all made sense hahah
Dreadalinaa awesome thank you :)
@@jedalton5 No worries :)
I got exectly the same dread at the front im not happy olso😔
I brushed that one out recently and split it into the two other ones and I'm much happier so just an idea 😉♥️♥️
