If you wear a lot of beads it can be hard to find a comfortable position to sleep.

The more you explain The more I want dreadlocks

Thank you so much for touching on the cultural appropriation aspect. Acknowledging it and really recognizing that when white people get dreads it gets treated differently than for people of colour is so important and you didn't try to ignore that. I've found a lot of white folks with dreads sorta ignore or just refuse to speak on it as if it's not a reality. Thank you for saying we need to listen and respect when people ask us about locs and that topic. It's not the time to argue it's a time to listen and maybe explain if that's where the conversation leads us.

Absolutely. I never want to skip over the topic because I’ve seen too many people have silly debates over it in dreadlock forums and I think most of the time, the point is missed. Thank you so much for your support and words. 💕🙏🏻

You did a great job! that last one was the big one! Culture! Im from a christian family and they frown upon dreads however Sampson in the bible had 7 Long Locs! I also read that people used to knot their hair (dreads) to keep their soul from leaving through the crown of their head. They believe having locked hairs would make it harder for the soul to leave the body. Fun facts! haha

I definitely know that my mom and people respond to me differently and with anger, especially my mom, when I have my dreadlocks. However, I’m a cosmetologist and I’ve known so many people with dreadlocks that it’s more worth the investment to the point where I don’t even have to think.

Another great informative video Thank You My Beautiful Friend .... I absolutely love love my Dreadlocks & embracing my fuzzies & really just enjoying my Journey 🥰

Love your channel! This is not my first set of dreads 🙄 but the last set I took out after YEARS because fear of stereotype (as I've been denied jobs in the past because if "image") and it was the worst decision 😩 so now I'm starting over lol..

A lot of real talk here, things I gained (even with struggle) were patience, and the timeframe for washing and drying. I ended up gaining patience, and bought a secondhand salon drying chair for wash days (game changer). I love your videos, keep up the great work Liza!

Jack!! Thank you so much!!! Really appreciate your support! I need to watch out for one of those chairs because I think it would be amazing!!!

I really appreciate you touching on the culture aspect. I think you handled it perfectly. It just comes down to intention and understanding, from both sides. When I see a white person with dreads I try my best to think that they have good intentions and I try to understand why they made the decision to get them. I also think its important for a white person to understand what we go through for having the same style, and understand where a black person is coming from when they are skeptical.

I appreciate you taking the time to write this. I could not agree more. I’m glad you and I can see each other’s heart. So grateful. 🙏🏻💕

#1 has never applied to me 🤣 I've literally loved my locs every single day! Also, holy shit! Would a parent really not talk to their child because they have locs 😳 damn, some people shouldn't have kids

I know that you and your locs have gone through a big transformation since this was made, but just wanted to say, I think the look here is so beautiful. Love the length and the loose hair, this is similar to how I wear mine :) I agree about the cost of maintenance, and will add, it is worth every cent. My hair is fine, and my loctician consulted with me and worked very carefully, always with attention to the health of hair and scalp. She helped me with things I didn't know about dreads, so I am grateful to have her. That and a high quality shampoo, equally important!

This is so helpful. Thank you.

I’d love to see a video on reasons to get them. I love mine 💕

I love your vid and I love my locs. I love the conversation they create and all the questions and even the ever present talks about "cultural appropriation" even though locs are world wide and all throughout history. I'll talk to anyone about them and even hear out abuse and then discuss said abuse...... But touching them is not on. FCUKOFFANDDIEFORTOUCHINGTHEM I scream to my self and politely encourage them to stop while backing away for their safety. Mine.

Thank you for raising voice to the concept of cultural appropriation. It's so frequently glazed over in videos. Thank you for this video!

I agree with everything you said. And yes 11... they can be heavy!! Specially wet! And this is one of the reasons I got dreadlocks: make myself accept my hair as they are - no dye, going grey! I do not regret any of my choices. I feel so much better with myself. And my scalp thanks me for not coloring my hair anymore!

People need to do what they feel is right for their selves.not what everyone around them wants them to do..if you want dreads,get them,if you don’t ,then don’t.be true to yourself

I only removed mine (except one) bc the sectioning hurt my scalp... I am now regrowing my hair and freeforming them... I really miss having them, I felt amazing with them. If they weren't unnaturally sectioned or didn't annoy my scalp, I wouldn't have removed them...

I've had mine 3 years I do nothing at all ..that's why I have them ...

I'm loooooove my dreadlocs.almost buttlength and I keep them clean

So I have very oily hair and have to wash my roots every day. Even try shampoo doesn’t get it so I have to wash. Do you think it will help getting them?

I enjoy my dreads and I agree with you -- I guess in my case I have never been a part of the norm ha I deal in tribal jewelry have for many yrs from around the world so this a part of who I am --- I hope you have a great day and yup had my coffee waiting for you to pop on here --

Liza Jayne they are at two stages because I didn’t know in the beginning how many I wanted. So I have half my head that are two years old and then two more rows on the top of my head that are almost a year

If you go for freeform locks its something which don't cost at all.. I have my locks since more than 5 yrs , i maintain them myself and i don't spend money on them but it do check your patience.
