    Hair extensions come with a shiny slippery coding on them (so they look nice and to make sure they don't tangle in the package). Washing them before dreading or dying or anything is very helpful. Just a tip!

    @@saragarofano9727yup. Avoid any conditioner on the Dred lengths. Only shampoo them once per week tops. Your scalp can be done with a shampoo and (conditioner if u really need ) but watch out it can & will soften/loosen the hair making them come out.

It's hard to just be you where I live and wish I had friends like you. People where I live are very judgemental and make your life miserable for not following their line here. It is killing my soul living here. Trying to get out of here. Watching your video's help give me hope that one day I can be as free and happy as you. Your a beautiful soul. Don't ever let anyone but your light out. So again thank you for being you.

I find the key is to live proudly of oneself so much so they'll eventually wanna b like u ...happy & will follow...happiness is very addicting once u have a taste of it but ppl cannot help wanting to b just like that chick that's always gotta smile on her face vs not ya feel me?! No1 said it was easy darlin or they'd all do it right?! Mastering the art of "hanging in there" thru it all is the tough part. :)

    Hello. Love your chanel and I find your advises reeeeeeeeally helpful, and I would love to get your opinion on this. So, I have thin hair. I don't have a lot of hair either. I've made dreadlocks (i have left a piece of hair, at the top, not braid to make it more feminine), and they are thin. I love them, they look great when I put them up, I really got the thickness I wanted - when it comes to the dread itself. My problem occurs when I want to let them hang (just have them loose). I have only 19 dreads. The are made with my hair only. Is there ANYTHING that I can do to get a enough volume to be able to let them loose and that having them like that actually looks good? I really hope you'll get time to answer me. Thank you so much for your chanel, you explain everything without sounding boring, and, I find that you making video's in the open gets a bit of sunshine in our homes us well. ❤️ Never change please. 😊

I did make experimental dreads last week. One was too thick and the other was nice and small. I watched another of your vids that said about 60 is a good number. I don't want huge thick dreads that is so obvious. I LOVE yours. It is almost unrecognizable as dreads as they are so soft looking and thin and feathered at the tips. Those are exactly the way I want mine. So, I am thinking, larger parts and thin dreads?

But u have to keep doing it every few months as your dreads grow longer. I have really thin hair.. And I just kept adding a tad too my roots every few months for almost 3 years. I loved my dreads and I think it's the only time in my adult life I actually love my hair lol. I shaved my head last December... Now I'm getting ready to put them back in!

    Loves... please help I have extended my dreads with human hair by 22-26 inch hair and now 22-26 inch long hairs has fallen all over my house and scares me to death having this happen at work. Which is a restaurant. This has NOT happened YET. My dreads are only three weeks old altogether so I feel it's somewhat normal right??? Help. 😒🤢😭
