Not good. Got alot of sideshow Bob jokes and comments on how beautiful my hair used to be. Whatever. I noticed that most ppl don't know that dreads take awhile to look good.

I just did mine yesterday. My dad asked what I was doing to my hair. I told him dreading it. He said, "oh lord." But for the most part nothing about my hair surprises him because when I was a teen I had a Mohawk.

I’ve had individual braids before so my family and friends can’t tell my dreads are dreads and not braids 😂. We’ll see once they more mature

I come here when I lose patience and need motivation to trust the process. Thank you!!

Thank you for this! I recently got dreads and was nervous about all my loose hair ❤️

Hi Sarah I'm 55yrs old and I have had my locs for 3wks. I'm going in for maintenance in a week. I have real hair extensions made into dreads and attached . I'm so happy I finally did this ! I had long hair most of my life. After cutting it shorter and shaving it, I grew it out to my shoulders. I had this professionally done for my birthday. I have enjoyed watching your videos . Thank you

U don’t need maintaince at 3 weeks…….just patience my friend :) They tell u that u need this that n the other. It’s a bunch of BS,just want u to hand over $$$$

I started my love two months ago, and was worrying that they weren't locking properly. I'm glad I found this video because they are pretty much on track! I still have a few that just won't lock however. The shorter ones are stubborn!

Would LOVE to see a one year update!!!

Oh my gosh!! I just started my loc journey, coming up 3 weeks ago on Thursday the 3rd and I have so many questions about the process! Like you, I researched a long time before finally deciding to do it :) the loose baby hairs on top of my head and around the back of my neck worries me because I'm worried my hair isn't locking :( this video made me feel better about them!!

I'm so excitedddd. Have been looking into extensions vs my own hair and have decided to have my own done. I was worried I'd lose alot of length but it's about the same as yours so my mind is made up. Thanks!

Most my family and friends are supportive of my dread journey they know I like things that are different and dreads have always peaked my interest

Essential oils like tea tree helps the itch. And you dont even neccesarily have to get maintenance done often you can back comb the ends and palm roll them everyday. Palm rolling is super important especially on naturally straight hair.

@Dismal626

they're falling apart because they're new dreadlocks and thats what they're supposed to do when they're new. let them do their thing, they will lock up on their own after u get past the awkward initial stage. if you maintain them you prevent them from truly locking up and the only way they will stay that way is with more and more maintenance or if your hair is extremely coarse and curly. so unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars on something that your body can do by itself if you give it enough time, or if you cant stand the sight of any loose hair, then there's no reason to do it

I've had mine for 8 months. Yeah, you might want maintenance in a couple months--you don't have to, and your hair will still dread up even if you don't, but I found that maintenance made my head feel much more comfortable. The loose hair wasn't horrible, but I was shocked how much more comfortable it was when my hair wasn't tangling and pulling at my scalp. Not to mention the fact that I don't have to separate as often now 😂. I'll keep an eye out for you in the group 😊

Jface does stuff that's interesting. I just checked out your 7-month video and your dreads look so good! I hope mine look like that. I haven't thought my loose hair as uncomfortable but, you're right, that hairs are pulled when I run my fingers through two separate or palm roll. My dread stylist taught me a technique to pull on the dreads to try to minimize loops. Have you heard of this?

Yes, I do think it would make your hair look thinker. You know longer shed hair with dreadlocks so all those extra hairs get stuck in your locks and make you hair look fuller. I hope that makes sense. I just posted a one-year update video. Check it out. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKybxcqwhsaxkco.html

i just wanred to say that. if you dont wash often then they become too greasy and slippery

i realy like how your hair is so wispy looking it looks uniqu and cool i just did 2 my moms spos to help me with the rest when she gets back in a few days but the 2 i have are very frizzy looking and loose for now the wispy tips have a curl and a half tho do to my hair is kinda a wavy curly type i think it makes it uniqu wich i like

If you payed to get your hair crocheted they DEFINITELY should not be coming out like they are, crocheting is supposed to mature your dreads instantly the loctitian did not do what they were suppose too

im on my second day i made my more locked at the ends cause im too scared of them coming loose i have my back and sides shaved and i kept my 4 or 5 inches of hair on the top i had bangs and everything but i wanted dreads for the experience idk why the work employers dont hire people like us cause its actually hard to take care of

i would have gone to the lady and had her make them more pretty with a hook after the first wash or palm rolled them

You needed to go back to tight up to keep the form she needed to tuck in the ends

Now that you will be washing less your head is itching because it's acclamating to less washing, use essential oils on ONLY your scalpto stop the itching. I prefer tea tree oil

I got dreads on sunday

Did you get instant dreads because I’m a week in and mine look like more like twists

Melony I wash with a tea tree shampoo made by Jason brand. I've been using it for years. Even before getting my dreads started. Although it's not a "dreadlock shampoo" I think it does a good job. No residue. What do you use?

@melonydever

There are a few readily available ones. Trader Joe's Tea tree Tingle, Allafia African Black Soap in Peppermint, California Baby Tea tree Lavender. The reason I asked is because so much of your hair has become loose. You may just have very silky hair and need something more drying to prevent any slip.

@SarahThornburg
