Thank you! This video was so concise and helpful :) can't wait to start my dreads tomorrow

Hey Christian! Nice choice in name. Just wanted to thank you for creating this video, I linked it as a resource in my one week dreadlock journey video's description. Cheers!

Lazy Dreads Yes! I made my first one from reading around and decided to find a video to be sure I was doing it properly. I want very thin dreads so i started out with a tiny section and I feel like I tightened/knocked it much more than you did to the point it is at least 40% shorter than my un-knotted hair. My un-knotted hair is about the same length as the hair model in this video. Do you think I am doing it too tight, or is it just because I'm working with smaller sections of hair so it's going to compress more? Thank you for this video! You have the best dread information on the internet I've seen, and I've been looking for quite a while! :)

It’s been over a year since I brushed them out, and my hair is longer than when I cut it to brush them out. ☺️

I have had my dreads for about a week but have kept bands in them should I remove them you think?

Thanks for the amaizing content

Do you have any advice for using t+r and backcombing?

should you crochet your dreads a lot to keep them looking good?

Which method did you do? And which one do u prefer?

Hi! Is this method the same method you did in your hair?

What is the best method ?? For straight hair like you showed in this video

What method did you use or did your come natural. If so what method would you recommend for straight hair

will it look thicker and more full after a while, like yours?

hi started my dreads about 3 weeks ago wiyh t/r method washed it today an noticed some were only knotted at the bottom what should i do

What do u do about washing while the locks form

I started with the backcomb method and I think it works well the person who did it told me also that I should not wash my hair for a few months after doing the back come method do you think that that's a good idea when you first get it done and you've got those backcomb dreads

What do you thinki of the new justin beiber dreads?

How long can/should you leave the bands in after you dreaded?

Okay, so almost every video I've seen I have commented on, but with every new video, I have new questions. So, I'm sorry if you keep having to answer my questions! Anyways. Since you've been saying it takes months to form and it looks messy, should I wait until summertime to begin forming them? Because I'm currently in a vocational school and they're very uptight about how I should look. Do you think (since I'm just considering right now) that I should wait (if I do do them)? Or that I should go ahead and do it so they're mature by the time I'm being interviewed for a job? Also, I wouldn't be asking this question, but we are not really allowed to wear any type of hat in school, or else I would get a tam hat to look more "professional," in my environment.

Hi! Please help. I have had my dreads for about 4months but 3 or 4 of the backcombed twists keep coming undone almost completely. Do you think if i twist and rip them up to the point where its locked they will stay or is this a bad idea? Thanks a lottt!!!!

My twist and rip won't stay together help me

when can I take out the elastic bands

I have super curly hair ,do you think dreads will work in my hair and what the best method ??:)

well done

I am prepping for dreads. I have fine hair that tends to be oily because I do a lot of yoga and sweat a lot. I have hair about 10' or so and only on the top, so I don't a lot to deal with. But I am struggling with the technique. Both have pros and cons and I am leaning towards twist and rip. I really appreciate your videos. I keep watching them and think, yeah, twist and rip... then, yeah, back comb. Bit seem solid. But I noticed you tend to leave a decent amount of space close to the scalp and don't dread all the way down. Looks like is alleviates Side Show Bob hair a little. So what I am getting at is, I am close to ordering a basic dread kit, or is that a waste of $$ in your opinion?

what method do you use

I have mixed hair (white and black) probably like 6,7 inches. But my hair isnt that kinky to hold twists without gel/wax. I know wax isn't good but idk any other method to do this. Can i do the TR method? Or do u need fine hair to do that? Thanks :-)

Greetings :). One week ago I back combed my hair. how long would you recommend I wait to wash them? and also I love your dreads, they are what I hope mine will turn out!!

I started new dreads 2 days ago using back comb method. It was suggested that I leave the nylon thread that's separating the sections in my hair for three months ... Or to just let them absorb into the dread. Should I cut these instead ? I'm afraid if they're too tight, they'll hinder the dread from knotting from the thread, up. Thanks !

I had a friend doing one or two dreads a day, but i never threw them up. is that okay... are they going to screw up at the roots or am i all good

How long usually does it take for backcomb dreads to lye down.

Dude how did u make this into😻I love it

How can I find someone in my city to do These dreads? I've Googled just about everything but have had no luck. I'm in Houston. I've been to several shops and they don't so this method. Maybe you can tell me how to search this technique? Thanks.

It doesn't necessarily matter about the method they do it with bc eventually you will get the same end result. They can do a combination of twist n rip and back combing. There's also even the chance tht they do use the back combing just don't have a name for it and just do whatever to form the dreadlocks.

Twist and rip makes things dreads that fall out easy you ;not wanna use that method iv been researching for weeks B4 I started to cover all my bases. I just started my dreads this morning I rubnerbanded my hair; nto sections and backcombed then palm rolled with ORS lock and twisting gel. If u want to find someone to do it for you (I'm whiter than rice and not a racist so don't blow the next part out of proportion) look into an African American salon they tend to do dreads n stuff like that. I'm from buffalo NY n all the places that do dreads r in the hood lol!!!

Do u have to keep back combing every other day to make the dread tighter want to know bc I been grown my hair out for all most a year and going try to get dread hope u see this msg ✌🏼️✌🏼

Okay thank you, now im growing out my hair for about another month what would you recommend me doing with my hair for the backcomb method?. (Besides stop conditioning and brushing)

@LazyDreads

9 жыл бұрын

Zack Dukes I would recommend trying out different dreadlock-appropriate shampoos so that you have found what works for you BEFORE you begin the dreadlocks. You will likely want to stop conditioning the hair as you get closer to starting backcomb dreadlocks - but you'll need to continue to brush it right up until the day you begin - if the hair has already started to knot, you won't be able to run the comb through it in order to backcomb the hair. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ioZ5qaR9Xa2ekrw.html

I noticed that when you back combed the hair, you back combed it straight upward and didn't twist the hair at all. When I back combed my first ones, I twisted the hair as well to make sure I had gotten all sides. Is this harmful or counter-productive in any way? I have half of my dreads made for the second course of dreads

Very good method. I wish it had shown the comparison of length of the freshly formed dreads vs the original straight hair though. I know they will get shorter as they lock up but it would have been nice to see.

@LazyDreads

10 жыл бұрын

As you said, they get shorter over time. These particular ones were not much shorter than the starting hair length - however they quickly lost length after they had started to be washed and so showing how much they'd lost at day 1 wouldn't have been all that representative.

I would wait until the hair is slightly longer. If you want them thick then they will likely need to be larger than 1 inch squares. 1.5 inch squares will result in thicker dreads, I probably wouldn't go much bigger than that though. The thickness of the resulting dreads will be determined by your hair thickness.

Necro666Mole It's difficult to say what is 'tight enough' because there's not really a scale of 'tightness'... you can only get them as tight as you can and either they'll hold up and you'll know you did a good enough job... or they'll wash out, in which case you'll know something didn't work out. How big you make them depends entirely on how big you want them.

D'Angelo Yates Each method has it's own set of pros and cons that can really only be weighed up by the individual. I'd recommend checking out examples of each method - the timelines section of the Dreadlock Truth Forum has plenty to look at - and then seeing which method you think would best suit your situation. I think time is better spent if you start the dreadlocks as soon as you can and let the hair grow while the hair is locking... rather than just growing the hair.

My friend did basically the same thing as you did in this video to my hair so my dreads were really fluffy and soft the first few months. When I went to a punk festival a friend of mine told me I got ripped off (even though I got them for free) and that they weren't "real dreads". Now they've really started to mature and knot together though so I've learned that you just got to be pantient. Did you hear similair thing when you first started off with your dreads?
