  • I wanted to share a very informative video on how to make dreadlocks, over the past 3 years I have received multiple messages asking to make a more clear video showing the step by step process of maintenance and how to start a deadlock. I hope this helps! Everyone is different and have different textures of hair, I would recommend dreading your hair the best way for your texture. Love Everyone, I'm sharing my technique because i do not make dreads just for work, this is my passion. Being able to connect to so many others through helping along with others dread journey being me pure joy and happiness, I hope this helps everyone who does not have a Loctician near you! Have a beautiful day!

    Omg thanks for making this video. This was so helpful. I'm going to try this technique once my new crochet hook comes in. Tryin the same size you used here. I started mine using a 1.5mm crochet hook & I can definitely say I'm having trouble with maintenance because of my large hook. I can't wait to tighten them & start my 3rd row of dreads ❤️

    2 Months in to My Dreads. Starting out with hair down to my butt. Mine were done exactly this method. I've watched so many videos researching. This is by far the most straightforward and filmed well. Glad I came across it. I am loving my hair but my loose hair is SO LONG! Trying to remain patient. For being so young, my dreads are firm and thick especially at the ends. I was left with 10+ inch wispy ends that have slowly started drawing up. Trusting the Process. Thank You for Sharing.

    • @rainbowlotus8320
      @rainbowlotus8320 Před 2 lety

      i can only recommend to not tie your hair up in a bun often, as it will break those wispy soft tips over time.

Haha I didn’t know I was being messed with for the longest time.. like until 6 years ago 😂 so my whole childhood I would occasionally settle with tiny braids all over my head lol looks great lotus!

    @Izzy-fr1zu Před 6 měsíci

    I was wondering if it is possible to use (partial) dreadlocks to make the hair look fuller? I have very fine hair which makes my length look thin, no matter how healthy it is.
    I was thinking that I could maybe use hair extensions to make bigger dreadlocks, but I'm a little worried how this would look when the dreads grow out. I propably would end up with thick length and thin roots...?
    Do you have any recommondations how to get as much volume as possible with pairtal dreads?

    Hey, sometimes my crochet hook gets "caught" in a loop of hair that I'm bringing down and the hair in the hook won't crochet anymore because it's caught. Do I just let go of that hair and start new right under it? It leaves a tiny little loop sticking out. Not sure if I'm explaining correctly..

Do u switch the loop e everytime u pull hair down or do u keep that first loop everytime? I hope this made sense lol

      @Briannashihadeh  Před 5 lety +3

      If you are interconnecting the hair you can have it connected and worked through an inch down the hair and wrap more going over it back and fourth I can always do a root maintenance only video to have it show up close and focus on that alone

      put the hook through the dread and wrap the extra hair around the hook and pull it through, weave it down into the dread till its shorter and the take the end and pull it to the center

    The best way is to do nothing to your hair. Don't comb it, don't twist it. Use a sponge and cold water and let your dreads form naturally the way they want to form. That way they are unique to u. No offense to any other ways tis is just the most natural and authentic way of locs. Especially if u are looking for that spiritual journey with them
