Out of all of the Instant dreadlocks tutorials that I have watched, this is the best one. All of your videos are amazing. They very easy to understand and follow. I have had three sets of dreads. I have done each set with a different method. So I have some experience spanning almost 20 years with dreads. And I love your videos. Anybody that is looking for easy videos on instant dreads, this is the guy you want to follow.

I prefer very little maintenance. And if you really want them to look neat and have the money there are tons of locticians.

I've been wanting to do partial dreadlocks starting with maybe 5 at minimum (all over not dreaded under layer like the typical way) and slowly increase the amount till I have a full head. what sections would you suggest I started with? I also have thin straight middle back length hair (knots like crazy) what method would you recommend I tried twist and rip a few year ago and hated it

This is absolutely horrifying to watch. My whole body cringes watching this woman tear another persons hair up. You’re not gonna get the results that you want from this. It’s absolutely a mistake. If you want dreadlocks use a crochet hook. Or freeform those are the only two methods that aren’t going to completely destroy your hair.

This is my first time on your channel and I found it very informative. I've started many new locs with the backcomb method, but will definitely be trying the other two as well now that I've seen this video. Thank you for sharing.

I have straight hair and did some backcombing to start the knotting then used a crochet needle to shape them, then palm rolled them just to smooth them out.

I really appreciate your videos! Currently I am doing locs on my son and this is my first time. I went to cosmetology school many moons ago but they did not mention dreads (which is all they were known by back then), let alone teach methods. If this goes well I may get back into the hair game to be a loc-tician. ;-) Thanks again for the inspiration.

Great video. I think this time round I might try all three methods.When I done my first set over 20 years ago,it was only back coming I knew of and palm rolling,no crochet hooks.They are a total game changer,and I will definitely be using one.

Thank you so much for this video! Learned soooo much! Im soo appreciative!

It helps to use a lice comb, and doing one dread on my hair using back combing took the better part of an hour on 1" sections by 6" long and took 3 days not including the crocheting.

It'll be fun, something I love, and it'll make me happy. So Im going to try it. Life is precious.

Thanks for teaching me that last method twist & crochet!!!

I love this! I'm going to see if it helps with the making of my faux locks. I can NEVER get them as tight as the ones they sell online. So excited! Thanks man! I'll let you know how it works!!

My hairs still quite short maybe about 7 inches.. do you think this is long enough?should I hold out for it to grow a bit more or would it be ok to start the process now? Cheers!

A grinch finger 🤣… I love the whispy look at the end of the dreads but this had me crackin up 😂

I have straight hair dreads and I found it most useful to pull at kinda of a slant so you're pulling it towards the root. Just think about taking the hook and sticking it into the dread (twist and rip or back comb dread) then try to get the crochet needle around some hair and pulling it to the other side, but at a slight slant and just pull it towards the root. But you gotta do that kinda fast and then you'll get used to just sitting somewhere and crocheting for hours while watching youtube or sum

I saw a Black person do this on youtube. I was hella confused as to why they would back comb with curly hair when they can just twist and use the crochet needle. But they did have some heat damage their ends was damanged part straight and curly. I've been using the crochet method since 07, I have similar curly hair to yours texture wise. I think my curl pattern is 3c. But some of my hair is just wavy and straight, mostly my sides and around the lower back of my hair. I didn't bother trying to crochet it in with the thicker parts of my hair. I think this will be my last set of locs, I want to keep these ones for life. I usually get bored of my hair after like a year tho. So idk 😂💀
