    Started mine back in nov of 21 with jamaican castor oil, rip twist method( worked really well with my adhd lmao I would do this for hours a day), and using rosewater with cinnamon mint loc spray to help with the itch and dandruff. I also only washed my hair once a month but put water on my hair every other day. After 4-5months I went to a local loc artist and have been going for once a month she said for how thin/straight my hair is, they loc'd up pretty well within 6months but like they always say you gotta look ugly before you look beautiful.

    Ive wanted to have dreadlocks since i was in 9th standard......Right now im in the first year of college and I've finally started my dreads journey on march went from an inch long hair (crown area only) to hairs as long as they almost were to my chin in almost 6months.... I sure have to say onr thing, that is, though i had a dream of getting dreads for the past 4 years but watching your videos was the only boost to my urge to get dreads. I am 2c hairtype and i used twist and rip along with crochet hooking for a clear looking head and i think the perfect hair length to start dreads would be if your hairs from your crown area reach your nose. Any more length than that is perfect for starter locks and Personally i would suggest crochet hooking only.....no gel, no product just wet hairs and within a day you can get dreads at home.

    best way is rub-n-rip. u take a section, rub the strands together between ur fingers, then pull the strands apart, allowing the tangles to be pushed down towards the scalp. instant locs. only need to tie the ends off for the thinnest straightest hair. given so many friends locs like this thatve lasted years

    So over the course of maybe 8 months I just washed my hair, did a rough dry with a towel and over time... my hair just started to lock up. I am half Dominican (I look white) and my hair is extremely curly and frizzy, when I used to maintain my hair it would just stick up like an afro in all directions. But not nearly 2 years later my hair is pretty much just naturally locked up except in the front. I am glad I found this video because I am gonna buy a crochet hook and see if I can help the front out a bit. The issue that I am having is since its really just naturally locked, the sections are pretty much set, some are THICK and some are thinner :/ alot of them are surprisingly even.. I feel like all the odd shapes looks unique but also kinda dumb, I feel like I am gonna be judged.

    Yea. I’m completely white. My hair is super straight. And I’m 38 and my hair is starting to thin compared to what it was when I was younger. I keep trying everything from free form to back combing and my hair just does not dread. At one point I had someone use a crochet hook to make dreads in my hair but instead of looking like yours did in the video mine looked much thinner and had really long whispy undressed ends. If I’d tried to blunt the tips but tucking those ends in my hair would have lost half its length. Already as it was my hair went from down my back to chin length just from the crochet hook. I ended up shaving my head last year and growing it back out. It’s around 6 or 7 inches now but I feel like it would need to be at least double that to get decent dreads. There’s this guy on KZread named Fabian Pacheco and his hair went from being down to like his waist to barely chin length just from back combing. Doesn’t give me much hope at 6-7 inches

    That's what I was thinking, I remember as a teenager struggling with my hair matting at the nape of my neck due to my brushing technique being bad, and there was no question of it forming into nice separate locks, just a big knotty ball of pain. If I left it unbrushed it would not form into anything that would be wearable or healthy for my scalp. I have mostly straight, slightly wavy hair. I think the freeform thing must only work with specific hair types.
