    he still didn't part each dread because they can still get caught up in strands of hair to where the retwist is just pointless

  • @WOLFGANG634
    @WOLFGANG634 Před 5 lety +2

    Thank you for doing a video like this! I’m really tempted to put my hair in dreads, because I put my hair in twists anyways, so why not have a style that’ll last me longer and protect my hair? Im a bit scared for take down though. Some people say your can salvage the hair with patience etc, but others will just shave them off which I do not want to do! I’m still contemplating, but the risk might be worth it, because I’ve seen so many beautiful results with length retention.
