Yes, I didnt do enough research either, I got 2 strand twists then interlocked 3x, that was it, free form all the way! no wax , no oil, no conditioners, best thing I ever did, just wash with shampoo bar, rinse with rosemary tea and go, just soft lovely locs and I'm not fully loc'd. Your hair looks very healthy! Congrats on finding your zooch!
Beautifully said... there is more than one way to loc. Free forming takes the vanity out of it. That’s what makes you free. Continue to vibrate on a different level. Allow nature to do it’s thing 👌🏾
This helped me. I have the same problem with my hair as far as the build up with the products and my scalp getting irritated easily. I'm starting free form locs and the spaghetti scenario makes a lot of sense. So now I know what I need to do. Thanks
I love your hair! Totally suits you. I'll be four years free-form January 1st so thanks for the compliment in the first part of the video 😁 Great information in this video! Thx!
That was a very interesting point you made about interlocking. It makes sense that those knots don't have the luxury to loc up due to the fact that the tension of those hairs is such that it prevents them from intertwining with the nearby hairs. I'd never heard that but it makes complete sense. I like the spaghetti analogy. I think it's fitting. LOL you gotta love the unsolicited advice. That's crazy that that woman came at you like that. People. smh. Good video, bro!
So TRue!! Great video. I love my locs. Yep there is more than one way to get to the loc world. Not just one way. I have free forms. Yep I use a lot of water but I also put some oil some not a lot though. I love your locs.
Your hair looks great, got a nice start to a very even look of good separation. Just FYI to all: eating dairy and/or having any type of issues with systemic candida (sugar addiction) will cause itchy, flaky and other scalp issues. I gave up dairy and my scalp will be totally fine, and then I will slip and eat like sour cream or ice cream or if I have too much wine or something and boom, flakiness that I am scratching at and feeling itchy for days! I have fairly fine Caucasian type hair that is wavy/frizzy not stick straight. I have let it grow past my shoulders now (much effort and trimming with the moon cycle helps) and I have always wanted dreads, but I want them even and clean like the twist style, not lumpy and uneven and messy, but I think I would prefer this freeform natural way that is less damagaing. I work in the health and beauty field and I can't be a mess! I am nervous to start this cuz if it doesn't work or I don't like it I will have to cut all my hair off, right??
heartbreak kidd lmao I hear that all day for some reason 😝 but yeah bruh people always have their side comments and I just learned to not care or tell them they're ignorant and move on, besides it ain't on their head so why do they care lol
People giving you advice that you don't need is probably the most annoying part about the freeform process. My ex told me that I should twist my hair, I go on to tell her that I've already tried twists twice and they just aren't for me(much for the same reason why you didn't stick with them) and she goes on and says "no no you have to twist them the right way" I'm just like...uhh...shraggy? the right way? I mean I think I know what I like and don't like but ok. I just let those things slide though, a lot of people are ignorant to freeform locs in the first place.
Lupo X V I I lol I share your pain bro. people seem to be super ignorant to free forming and I can't tell you on two hands and two feet the amount of times I've been given unsolicited advice. some of them are just haters tho so no worries
I can relate. My first set that I had in 2003 webbed together and it looked like a helmet on my head. My own fault because they were in the in-between stages and I didn't keep them separated. I tried again the next year and I've had this set of locs ever since.
I'm 7 months in and haven't received any itch other than irritation from a rogue hair being tugged by a lock. I wonder if more often than not it's just a reaching strand of hair.
On the note of the crazy washing routine, for some strange reason everybody has itchy scalps. I don’t have itchy scalps but I have flaky scalp. My hair doesn’t itch at all and it so weird. I wash my hair every single week. I’m 7 months in.
I don’t know what to do about the flakes. I. Now washing with a clarifying shampoo that’s helping a bit BUT I have to wash my hair every Saturday period.
All hair is different. Ive been interlocking for years and they have never been mistaken for braids. And wax should Never be used for locs, sounds like the problem was the Wax instead of the Twists themselves. And my scalp doesn't itch by default like you said happens with any locs. All hair is very different. Look into hair types, because they all work differently.

Hey, when you first started to go freeform, before your hair even locked and was still curly, how often did you wash your hair to begin the process?Is it an every day thing, or only a couple times a month?
i started a set using some twist n lock gel too and man o man i couldn't wait to wash that gunk out my hair. my head was soo itchyy. my scalp was super relieved after i washed it out. also while washing it out my hair felt slimy eww just thinking about that experience makes me cringe. you live n you learn lol
Wow, I just came from another one of your vids, where I ask you if you've locked before-only bc you r so knowledgable about them. You just answered my question. I knew it!!!!!!! Cool! And here I was talking to you as if u were a newbie. Ha ha ha. I use jojoba, argan, Vit. E and coconut. A little and not at the same time. I've had my locs for many years, so they're very long, and couple that with the fact that I naturally have thin hair and the fact that I'm 63 y.o., and also that I dye it, like twice a yr, I'm starting to be concerned with my thinning edges. I've thought about buying Jamaican black castor oil, bc so many ppl swear by it, but hv been hesitant bc I know that it's thick. What do you think ?
Juliana Ramirez I haven't heard real heads or tails on whether castor oil works or not some people hype it up and some don't. I'll do some research and get back to you on that! I only had the other 2 sets for a month a piece so Idk if those even count lol
Scrappylocs Sure they count, but it's really that you've done your research and have educated yourself about locs. That's commendable. Thanks in advance for help with the castor oil dilemma. Lazy In 'Da Bronx ;)
How y’all wash y’all freeforms ?? Kuz as soon as I hop out the shower the humidity makes my shit moist and i feel like it slows and un does the process
Scrappylocs great video I definitely need advice can I send a pic to get better advice been using Murray's beeswax is that not good ?? Anybody holla at Ya guy thanks
J Storm yeah bro if you're on Instagram hit me up there same name as my yt channel. yeah I used Murray's and it was the worst thing that ever happened to my hair
So, I let some woman talk me into interlocks..and was too late to even redo it.. however I was thinking about freeform . Are you saying I won't be able to free form with my interlocs?
Why tf do you sound so much like x... You're not even talking about something he would talk but it just sounds like him.... thanks for the video xxxScrappyloctacion
FreeForm doesn't require any of the Maintenance of the other Methods... Just Wash, Keep it Clean & the Hair & Scalp will Naturally be Healthy... No need for Oils or products...Just Wash & separate if you like...Thats all !
champagne5552000 😂 I get that a lot, people always say I'm high because my eyes are always bloodshot from allergies (I don't smoke) or I look like I haven't slept.
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. Yet, I don’t agree with your explanation about interlocks. I Started with platting my natural hair, and then latch hook them for the past 10 years. If interest you can check me out on my channel. When I tighten my locs 4-5 times a year, the roots do look interlocked but after that, the rest of my Locs absolutely look locked and there is no evidence of interlocking as they age. I would imagine softer or straighter texture of hair may have different results. Stay blessed bro ✊🏽
Scrappylocs that's what I thought. cuz I play ball and work a lot. but every time wash em the twists come out and I have to sponge twist em and hand twist the rest
rogeliofelix13 that's all part of it bro they will eventually lock up. I'd suggest washing 1 time every week or week and a half and then more or less as needed. when locs are young they will unravel which is normal
The part about balancing the oils for your scalp. I’m currently using Jamaican black castor oil, and i have that scalp itch heavy. What can I do to calm that down just a bit?
I don't know why anybody would put wax in their hair. If you stop to think for just a minute you realize it makes no sense and is horribly counterproductive. Not only does it not allow movement, it retains water and won't wash.. Everyone always says "residue free shampoo, residue free shampoo!". So why on Earth would you intentionally load your hair up with an unnecessary residue that won't wash out. Uhmmm...

Hair looks very full and healthy perfect start. just wash and seperate man
o yeah and keep scalp and hair moisturized with your fav oils. Scalp is the most important. drink lots of water.
+Tre CVOK thanks bro that's all I do anymore no manipulation just separate and wash

SebAtreyu yess
Yep. Just cut my locs after a year bc a dumbass loctician interlocked my shit for no reason. So now I’m starting over 100% freeform.
Love the Way you present things.

I'm glad this set worked out for you. Looks very nice.

best info I've seen online

I don’t know what to do about the flakes. I. Now washing with a clarifying shampoo that’s helping a bit BUT I have to wash my hair every Saturday period.

How’d you freeform your dreads ?
I didnt coam my hair for like 1,5 years before getting dreads
good video bro! very important info. interlocking is a no no
Natty Twan definitely bro it’s in my opinion one of the worst things you can do to your crown

I started my wash routine about a month ahead of time going once a week which helped my hair get used to the new shampoo and the less frequent routine
Scrappylocs thank you.💯

Crissylocs the key is to learn lol
+Crissylocs also I bet the relief was amazing lol I swear by my statement that some products do more harm than good
Do you use anything anything to lock it? Like aloe or any sort of gel?
They’re free form so he jus washes

If you leave interlocs in they will lose that look
1st video I see
Anybody know how to get your free forms to stick up like this? My hair about the same length as his, but it usually just lays down.
OneBizarreGuy mine now lays down as well. I'm not sure that short of banding your locs to make them stiff that you can make them stand like this again
Scrappylocs Thanks. Got another question. Is normal for them to be frizzy and loose? I'm about a month and a half by the way.
OneBizarreGuy yeah bro that's definitely normal I'm almost 5 months in now and I still have a few on the top of my head that are frizzy and loose.

itching now. lol I was told to have them lock in not supposed to wash my hair for about 3 months
rogeliofelix13 nooooooooooo! wash your damn hair. that's crazy bro your hair will actually take longer to lock if you don't wash it.
Scrappylocs that's what I thought. cuz I play ball and work a lot. but every time wash em the twists come out and I have to sponge twist em and hand twist the rest
Scrappylocs how often
rogeliofelix13 that's all part of it bro they will eventually lock up. I'd suggest washing 1 time every week or week and a half and then more or less as needed. when locs are young they will unravel which is normal
Scrappylocs ok and what about retwisting I heard you should have them professionally retwisted luke every 3 weeks or so
The part about balancing the oils for your scalp. I’m currently using Jamaican black castor oil, and i have that scalp itch heavy. What can I do to calm that down just a bit?
Maybe the oil itself irritates your scalp. Try Peppermint and Coconut combined
deff look n sound like xxx
No
