Hi! I am in the process of dreading my hair. it's taking me about a week to do. already getting the "you're ruining your hair!" "you'll have to shave your head!" "dreads are dirty!" comments... but i've been embracing a more minimalist life style for a few years now and i feel dreads take me further in that direction. your videos have helped 110% at pros/cons and methods and care. i really appreciate it! your dreads are lovely! thanks for all your videos!

U do not have to shave yr head. I've had dreads 4 times for over a year an each time, with very long hair, I've combed it out. It takes a lot of patience however. And I'd suggest a product called infusium23 for the final comb. I usually start conditioning for a few weeks and then when they're loose do the final comb.

I am just starting my dread journey, and have really appreciated how blunt and honest you've always been in your videos, about the process.

Only a couple days into my dread journey didn’t expect it to be so itchy but it’s all part of the journey

My dreads are 1 week old. I had SUPER slick & straight hair prior to my "baby dreads". The frizz is the most difficult to adjust to mainly bc my hair was SO different before. I do find the change to be an oddly refreshing experience😊 I appreciate all of yr educating videos, they have helped me a lot!

how's your hair doing?

Almost 2 months in, I had no idea the amount of research I should have done before hand. I thought it was a hairstyle, not a lifestyle I was getting into. I have curly thick Latin hair, so I actually have less frizz than before the dreads; really curious to see what they look like in 10 months, I will do a before and after as this stage ain't pretty. I appreciate all the info you're sharing, great stuff I hope you don't cut your dreads off. So many other KZreadrs do that after several videos, they should just delete their channels it's demoralizing for us beginners to see so many just quit. Keep it up!

Dude thank you so much for this information. I've watched a fair few videos and you've answered so much already. I look forward to watching a few more as I'm going to be a very young dreadhead very soon. Love you bro ty again 💚

I've been growing my hair for 2years now and next month i'll finally get myself dreadlocks!!! I just want to say a big thanks to you for giving me all the important information about dreadlocks via your videos :)

I have a bad internet connection right now so this is the first time I read the transcript in the description. Thumbs up for that!

This is awesome…I have had my dreads a little over a year and still trying to get the rest of my extensions in. You have reassured me about the messiness. I was freaking put but you have helped me ease that and I thank you

Just got new dreads yesterday, so thank you for all the great info! Looking forward to the years to come with the maturing process. :)

Ive been watching your videos for the last 2 years on and off an have been wanting to get dreads, now im sitting here FINALLY backcombing my hair while watching this!!!

hi! I'm about 2 weeks in with mine, feeling a bit messy! I just wanted to let you know that your videos have been extremely helpful! I've learned alot about the dread life! thank you!

Awww man i struggled so much with the itchiness. i was going crazy. Almost cut my dreads off a few times but once i got through my first 12 Month's thing's got easier. If i would of found you from the beginning i think my itchy problems would have been easier. I found you a lil over a year ago, now thing's are completely going the right direction now. So Thank's a bunch to you

Thank you for reassuring me that I'm not the only one putting up with others looks & comments!

love you dude , you're so relaxing and you make dreadlock journey not so nerve wracking lol subscribed and I don't even have dreads.. Living vicariously!

I just started my journey into dreadlocks this past weekend. It's been interesting considering that I work in retail so I'm constantly working with people everyday. Definitely gotten my fair share of odd stares so far but it's not gonna discourage me!

7 months old.. the thing that I had to move past was the loopy craziness. Great advice when you said to just ignore it! that's what I have been doing, separate and ignore. embrace the looks and keep smiling! :)

I'm a week and a half in my dreads and this video reassured me of my worries and questions

I've been wanting dreads for some while now. I have been watching your AWESOME informational videos for almost two years now, and I have finally started my own dreadlock journey. I prepped my scalp by washing it less for over a month, and even threw away my hairbrush and only started combing with my fingers. My hair is naturally curly and a frizzy mess but it never seemed to tangle... until I started putting in a few dreads on one side of my head. I'm now nine days in and nine dreadlocks in. I currently have to CONSTANTLY separate my natural hair from my dreads! Little sections of my natural hair that have tight curls are starting to dread at the roots. It's mildly frustrating because I'm constantly battling; I'm nervous if I just let the rest of my hair naturally dread up, I'll have oddly placed dreads and possible bald spots because of all my curly cowlicks I have! Question: Should I continue to separate and dread my natural hair? Or just allow it to take its course?! HELP!

I've just started some partial dreads and this video honestly helped me feel so much better about my dreads haha I was so insecure about how messy they are at the root. The actual dread themselves are ok and I'm ok with the little bit of loose hair but the roots look nuts when I have my hair up! So thanks for the reassurance! I'm gradually hyping myself up for making a new row!

Been watching your vids to prepare myself for when i get my dreads, ive been waiting and waiting for the "right time" to get them, when I realised that there is no right time, so Ive spent the last 2 days doing my dreads :D I just finished them and Im super excited for my dread journey!

Best decision I ever made. I'm loving seeing how each one is taking shape :)

Ive had a dreadhawk in the past that I did with a combination or twist and rip and crochet method. This time around I have a full head of hair and I made the dreads with only twist and rip. Im definitely more aware of how fluffy they are this time around! Considering pulling in some of those loose hairs with my crochet hook!

I JUST finished twist and rip method and my hair looks INSANE! but I love it!!!!

I just started my dreads last night after wanting dreads like my whole life (im 17) and the hardest part for me was just doing the twist and rip method on my own hair because id say it took around 3 hours to do all my hair and i had to take breaks because my arms got so tired and my fingers hurt, but overall worth it, im excited to see how they develop as time passes, ive binge watched your videos and theyve been super helpful thank you so much

I know you made alot of these videos along time ago. this one I keep when I get frustrated for encouragement. I'm a month in, thank you for your videos. very helpful!. I did not go to a salon. I done hr and hrs of research and done them my self. yours were the most helpful

Much love to you my man

you are my fave, I'm back at the beginning after my 4 month removal but it helps after having freeform dreads for 18 months

I'm six months into freeforming have plenty of nice tight locks on the back and sides of my head. Back are way more mature then the rest but I love them and love watching them form and change

Had my dreads twisted up 2 days ago, your videos are helpful man Defo.

4 months in thank you for all the info!!

I used to have long dreads that were 3 years old. I cut them and found out I had a lot of sand in my hair from the beach. Now I'm starting over and will definitely take care of these locks better.

Brilliant!

I love your videos. Glad I found you. I am a newb and the hardest part is my scalp feels dirty and flaking.

I love your videos so much! They're unbelievably helpful. Thank you! ^.^

it's like going through puberty all over again

I started the towel rub method, in August 2021, so that I could get a freeform style dread but I wanted to give them a little kick to urge them to lock up. Anyway after only two months I have a head full of locks. Yes they are young locks but they are locks none the less so they aren't pretty but they are there and getting tighter and better looking,daily, as well.

Perfect timing!!!

Good advice as usual. Your locs are looking tops! Cheers

I dreaded my hair last week using the twist and rip method. Followed tons of dreadlock sites, read about a lot of the upsides and ddownsides of having dreads and your videos have been nothing but great help! Thank you for the awesome content and my dreads are only like 6 days in and some of them have already begun to come of slowly and some are even getting loose. Did I twist and rip correctly and should I twist the loose ones back?

2 days in and I love my crazy dreads! Twist n rip method and started with 6 inches of length at most. They are hella frizzy though and some of my peers are trying to get me to brush them out! Locked for life though! I’ll have my dreams for ever!! I’ve been doing research for over a year and I’m committed

i actually put 3 of my dreadlocks in today! they look pretty good so far given that i had been using the crochet method. i wasnt expecting them to turn out looking like dreads in the beginning

This is the first time i have dreads and after i saw one of your videose, i was totally relaxed and not worried at all. i just let my dreads do what they want to do :) thx for your advice!!

I've had partial Dreads (only the back of my head dreaded) for about 2 1/2 months now and have extensions. What was a really good surprise to me was that the drying of my dreads doesn't take long, they actually dry faster than my normal hair. The worst thing I still have to get used to is the management of washing partial dreads. The dreads themselves are not the problem, just that I have to wash my "normal" hair more often and thus seperate, and that it is so much more difficult to wash the normal hair. But I think partial dreads, although they're so much more difficult to handle, are the best option for anyone who isn't 100% sure if they can handle/want permanent dreads.

At 1 month and I decided to do my locs myself so they are different sizes. Lol I did end up using wax 😔 after the first few days because there were so much lose hair and fluffy not really looking like dreadlocks. Washed at the 2 week mark and wax didn't all come out and only used water. Thank you for sharing your journey so I can learn more about taking care of my dreadlocks.

hey keep up the good work I tried starting my locs this month and found that because I washed my hair everyday before locking that my hair got way greasy way fast and my locks wouldn't stay and thanks to you I found out what I need to do so that I can restart my locs

I just started my dreads today with the twist and rip method. I have straight hair. I was wondering if I have to retwist after my first wash. Thank you for your super informative videos!

The first 6 months with new deadlocks are the hardest. But then again it is during this period you learn a lot about yourself along with humility and patients. With my first set of dreads. I found that that my tips would not lock up regardless of what I did. About 6 months in I added extensions and my tips connected well with them. So when I made my next set of dreads, which was about 8 months later I added the extensions to keep everything locked and to give some added length to be able to get my hair up and off my neck. Dreads and desert heat don't mix well together!

Realy usefull vid. Made my dreadz about a week ago . My dreads are little ones like 1inch 2 inch , i have little ichienes , found out that making dreads with long hair can increase the scalp pain .

Just started my dread journey last night!!! Thank you for all the AWESOME vids!

what would you recommend washing the hair with in order to stat forming dreads with neglect method ? i've been using neutral glycerin commercial soap but not sure it's letting the hair lock; getting some new curls i've never had in my life though. Really like the channel, cheers !

I'm on day 6 and I wash them more often and palmroll a lot and mine are forming great. I also spray with a sea salt and tea tree oil and have several essential oil sprays that help with the scalp itchyness. Im in love but my hair is curly and my new locs are wavy and curly at the ends

started mine 4months ago frizz, looping the lot! bring it on. 52years young and still locking 3rd time around. doh!

Ok ne week just starting after 2 years without dreads and now I'm on it again so I just loved them, nothing to apply, they were messy but so lovely and cute 😊😊😊 I'm so excited

I was 2 months into my journey and applied to one of the better restaurants in town. I applied for a serving position but got hired as a pantry cook. I was the first "Dready" to work there, and now we have 3. Still there 3 years later. It can happen and good luck.

And wanting dreadlocks for about 3 years now my dreadlocks or two weeks old only started half the head but love it so much my next day off I'm going for the full (of what hair i have lol ) i I think the only crazy I get is the frizzy I just do a lot of palm rolling and crochet hooking and I always sleep with something over my hair love love love love your videos

I am only 1 week into my Dread Journey and so far so good. My hair was waist length and I lost about 4 inches. LOL! To the "how long it takes them to dry... my hair is super thick, large curly and fine in texture. B.D. (before dreadlocks) it could take up to 12 hours for my hair to dry to the roots. Now, it only takes about 2 hours. I guess the matting, right now, affords the air to waft through... Dunno' just loving them.

In my 8th month now. When I started my hair was all the way down to my hips and now it's around my collarbone. I only have like 23 to 25 dreads so they are very thick. I've always had to actually fight my hair from dreading (multiple uses of conditioner in a single wash + having to comb my hair with conditioner still in it) so they have matured at a rapid pace :D finally letting my hair do what it's always wanted and it's awesome!

Lazy Dreads you always have the answer and have helped out a lot with my journey, I used the backcomb method. I am going on 6 months now and some of my smaller and thinner dreads dont lay flat on the sides. They kinda just poke out lay. If that makes sense. Is it just patience and time I need for them to do there thing and go down by themselves? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

mine are 2 days old and I noticed some sections refused to dread like i could twist and ripped and backcombed as much as I wanted to and it didn't help at all so i just did my best or ended up braiding it. But also i find myself being a lot more cautious with putting flowers in my hair cause i love doing that but now i gotta check for bugs more than I normally would. I have gotten strange looks and im starting school in September so they are barley gonna be a month old so it will be interesting to see what people say or how the look cause i have not seen one other person in the whole school with dreads but all in all im so happy i did it and cant wait to see how they turn out in a year from now 💕

2 week old dreads! I love them but the frizz is the hardest to maintain for me. Had itchy/sore scalp for a few days but it's gotten much better already.

Go in and start my dreads tomorrow 🤟🤘

I done my dreads 2 months ago now, an am only now starting to notice a change in them, majority of my mates are rope heads. One big family we are 😂 they like to kid about how they look but give me heaps of advice as well as your videos have helped 👌

Hey, I think I will get some dreads this summer. Already have two, one done by my friends, one done by myself. Probably I will get a scarf before getting more dreads to hide the fuzzy hair.

Omg! Thank you so much. I can stop panicking 😂

I just started my journey for the second time on July 14th of this year! My hair is definitely getting nappy and I'm pretty excited so far. My hair is pretty short, maybe like 5 inches or so, but I have curly/wavy hair and they are heavily damaged with bleach so it's sectioning and dreading pretty quickly. I am doing a neglect method, and whenever they do try to merge, I'll be separating them. Because of job situation, I'm trying to keep my hair looking neat as possible. I'll say that's my only difficulty I'm facing so far.

I havent seen a video for this so i thought this might be a decent one. How long do you go between pulling your locks apart, and when you do; are you breaking the hairs that connect the locks, or are the hairs just being pulled away?

My dreads are one day old! I was wondering if you could do a video of palm rolling, and is it necessary in the beginning stages. If you have already done a video on it my apologies. You're awesome and thanks for all the great dread advice!

Hi, great video. I literally just finished mine with my niece's help. We sectioned my hair into the like checkerboard method and I wanted to use the rip and split method because I don't have a metal comb. I put a rubber band on the root (giving it some slack to live) then on the bottom to help hold the dreads locked while they're maturing. But I can't seem to find the answers to these two questions. 1) Is it ok or normal if they look twisty? We didn't intentionally twist them only the rip and split. 2) Eventually will the sectioning in my head/scalp hide? I personally don't like having that exposed. I'm not really a section my hair kind of guy. Any and all advice accepted. Thanks!
