Dreadlocks, to begin with, can be a lot of work. They're going to do what they want to do and if you try and fight them, well... good luck with that. I'll elaborate - every set of dreadlocks is different, you can get dreadlocks, but you cannot get dreadlocks identical to a musicians, celebrities or friends set. It's just not possible. Everyone has different coloured hair, different thickness, curly, straight etc etc. You have some control over how fat they're going to become if you start with a method other than the neglect method. (If you go neglect then the only thing you can do as far as shaping them is ripping the strands apart to stop huge dreads forming). So, you know you don't have as much control over them as 'normal' hairstyles, as they're going to lock and grow however gravity and various frictions deem fitting.
After you've started they are going to be MESSY. 'Tidy' tight dreadlocks take time to acquire and I mean TIME. On average you're going to be looking at an easy 1 year+ before the locks start to mature and knot/lock up by themselves. The only thing I can recommend here is to grit your teeth and bear it. You can wear hats, use headbands or tie them back (if they're long enough), but you won't be able to escape the fact that you've got loose hairs, tips and roots and that there isn't a huge amount you can do about it. See my Loose Hair, Roots and Tips post for more information on this. So yes for the first year to year and half you're going to have a bit of a birds nest / rats tails, BUT once they start to mature and lock up, well then you can relax a little because your patience will have paid off and they will only continue to mature and tighten more and more!
They take a long time to dry. Each dread is like a little sponge and so they soak up water and cleaning them will involve squeezing them out and drying will also require more of this. The dry time is also obviously much longer than with normal hair. How long depends on the thickness, length and maturity of the dreads. More on washing and drying HERE.
Dreadlocks can also affect some hobbies and activities. More info on that HERE.
But..... dreadlocks really are a get up and go hair style, the extra time lost in washing and drying is more than clawed back when you consider the hair doesn't need brushing, straightening, conditioning.... you get out of bed in the morning and it's good to go. When they're young and messy you can just tie them up (if they're long enough you can tie them back with themselves!) and get on with your day.
Dreadlocks are a fun process, there are active online communities full of like minded dreadlocked people. Unlike with most things you do to your hair dreadlocks don't wash out and once they've gotten going they just get better and better, so you can make picture timelines and really see how they're progressing, getting stronger and longer.
Once you've got dreads they're cheaper than 'most' other hair styles. You buy just one shampoo or soap or bicarb... or whatever you choose to wash with and that's pretty much it. No expensive shampoo and conditioner combos. No expensive trips to the hair salon etc. Once the dreadlocks are left to mature they will do their own roots and tips and will lock in the loose hair by themselves, completely free.
Also, to set your mind at ease - dreadlocks don't attract bugs like some myths would suggest. They aren't inherently dirty (they're as clean as you make them). You CAN remove them without shaving your head.
Other things to consider are the various negative and usually false stereotypes that accompany dreadlocks which get tiresome: No I'm not homeless, I probably wash my hair more often than most, I definitely shower as often as anyone else, I don't listen to reggae, I'm not a stoner, I'm not uneducated - working towards a Physics degree, etc etc, you get the picture.
Still interested?! continue onwards to the Starting Dreadlocks section to choose the method of starting dreadlocks that suits you best and the Preparing for dreads section to get your head and hair ready for dreads!

    I watched this video about a year ago around this time and before that i had no interest of dreadlocks. I don't know why you put such an impression on me but you did. after this video i was fascinated with the idea of dreadlocks and watched all of your other videos. i watched plenty of timeline videos and it was all i thought about. Before when i thought of dreadlocks i thought they were dirty and too messy looking but after researching them i decided i wanted them too. My hair is pretty long and it goes all the way to my waist so i had no problem with hair length. i knew how to make a dreadlock from the twist and rip method since i made one dread in the back underneath that I've had since July so its around 6 months old now. Finally after a whole year and plenty of convincing my mom, I've had twist and rip dreads for 2 months now and i couldn't be more happy with them. i can't wait to see them form over the years :D.

  • @LazyDreads

    @LazyDreads

    9 жыл бұрын

    Growing dreadlocks will probably not make the scalp problems any better and it limits your choice of soaps and shampoos. I would try out some dreadlock shampoo options to see how they work out for you. While oils can be added to dreadlocks for various reasons ranging from scent to helping to trap moisture, it's a balance. Oil should only be added if the hair requires it - if you're needing to add oils all the time then you may quickly find the dreadlocks becoming too oily at the roots to lock as they should.

    @Michelle Jores - can't reply to you directly because your google+ settings to not allow replies. The minimum recommend started length isn't to do with shrinkage, it's to do with getting enough knots into the hair. The longer the hair you start with, the more twist and rip or backcomb knots you are able to create. If you have less than 6 inches of hair you really cannot create that many knots which therefore increases the likelihood that they will just wash out.

    I didnt see what Chelsea said, but that is my question. I have thin hair, and I saw many things where people start to dread hair, and then add on extensions to that dread. I am VERY puzzled about beggining process because I honeslty do not think that my natural thin straight silky smooth hair would dread well naturally because it would end up to less than 10 dreads upon my head with thinkness of angel hair pasta to work with. My icon is an old picture, my hair is currently half way to my boobs, so yeah, 6 inches reached. CHECK! My determination to get dreads and not caring about the starting look process and people, CHECK! But my lack of knowledge about what to do with my hair, since al natualle is not an option, is holding me back. Also, where and who would do them. I do not not trust my self to paint my own nails, not along dread my hair. As much advise, and info would be simply streling:)

    Hello Diana. When people extend dreadlocks, that's pretty much all they're doing - extending the dreadlocks they already have. So if you only had 10 dreadlocks (I think you'll muster up more than 10) then extensions would just make those 10 longer. I don't really recommend extending new dreads though anyhow. That's not to say that you can't - there are plenty of people out there who will do it for you - I just don't personally recommend it. Young dreadlocks are soft and not what I would try to attach a heavy extension to so it's not really an ideal situation. It will also increase and complicated the washing and drying times. With regards to who can do them for you. Well the extension part is slightly more complicated but the general sectioning and initial dreadlocking can be done by yourself and a friend - I don't recommend trying to do your whole head solo. Or you can enlist the help of a professional of which there are many, both salon based and people who specialise in just dreadlocks. They obviously cost more than a friend would do, but sometimes it's the better option. If you are going to get someone else to do it for you I would recommend you fully research the person, ask them questions and what they're going to do and only proceed if you are 100% confident with the methods they're going to use. For example if you were opposed to waxes and products and would suck to pay out for someone to do your hair only to then find out they're putting unwanteds on it!

    Hey man! Great video. I've got dreads that are about 5 months old and I watched this video and it actually helped with my decision to use wax/gel or not. Everyone kept telling me I could and a lot of other youtubers seem to but nobody said if it actually helps lock them up faster or slower. Thank you!

    burningdiamond I have Afro-textured hair and some of this applies to our hair, the stereotypes part (for us, add in some people think black men with locs are criminals, black women with locs are lesbians), the get up and go part applies to blacks who only seperate. But yeah those with Afro-textured manicured salon, palm-roll every 3 weeks or more, or they latch every month or two. Doing it more often than that causes thinning. Personally, I only seperate.

I had heard that you basically had to wait until it all knotted up But I still assumed there was some way to do it instantly.
