Still got 'em? How'd it go?

Thank you for taking the time to make all your videos! You are easy to watch/listen to, and I appreciate that you explain some of the "science" behind why hair does what it does. Keep up the good work!

2023 - great video; it help to trained my scalp before I get locks. Now I'm turn one month and the transition was smooth and easy. Thank you so much for this invaluable knowledge! I wish you the best and a happy life. Sláinte from Mexico!

I just have to say thank you for taking the time to make all these videos, I am on day 1 (first full day of having my baby dreads) and I am finding your videos so informative and they make me excited for mine to mature! Thanks for the awesome videos!

I’m so glad I watched this i literally just washed for the first time after 6 days and they got super frizzy and kinda loose so I got scared and started crocheting them too be tight again than stumbled upon this video and now I’m so much more understanding the frizz is normal as for the little loose hairs

I never liked videos where people are talking too much BUT your video is super informative - things that makes sense. Thank you for your awesome knowledge.

I’m getting my hair dreaded soon and this really really helped me, esp the wash transition for the scalp part! thank u!

Your advice is the most helpful ive ever seen

Thank you so much. My dreads are just over a 1 month old. You answer every question I needed answered. I wash my hair every 7-10 days. I never really washed my hair a lot in the first place. I have naturally coarse, curly, frizzy hair. So it's about what I washed it to begin with. The Frizz is horrible at this point. I thought man it seems after I wash my hair my dreads are a lot loser and falling out, but this video was point on and helped me so much. Thanks for taking the time do help people like me with their questions.

Thank you. Very informative. Just started my dreadlocks..Love the shirt..Blessed Be.

I've just started putting small dreads in my hair after dying and washing it last night and I was very curious about how often to wash them. Luckily, I wash my hair maybe once or twice a week, sometimes longer because I have no motivation whatsoever so I should be okay. This video was really helpful so thank you :)

Thanks Chris!

Your tips are so helpful!! Thank you!

I went through SO many videos....came across yours and finally haha my answer was solved

You have the best T-shirts! Love it!

I just washed my dreads after contemplating whether I should not and they look great! I didn’t wash my hair for 2 months before dreading it then continued for another 2 weeks. This video was a good push of faith

ive watched just about all of your videos in like 2 days, lol. you have helped me tremendously!!!!! you helped me make up my mind about finally doing my dreads

I just did my first wash 4 days after starting my new short hair (3 inches) backcombed dreads. I used a hair net while getting my hair wet, then remove it to apply/massage a teaspoon of dreads shampoo on my scalp and then, placed back during rinsing. So far soo good, baby dreads still on and the best of all, is that is was able to stay under the water and relax for a while, without worrying too much about my young dreads falling apart. Best feeling ever after the first wash!

I just started watching your videos last night and I believe they will be a great help. Thank you. And thanks for the response on shampoos

Clint Cox Always happy to be able to help!

just got mine today and was just thinking about that, great vid

Thank you for your videos brother.

I got my hair twisted last Sunday (the 5th of February) and I am about to wash it for the first time today (the 13th of February). I am a little wary but from what I am finding online i should be good. Going to have a cap on while i rinse and shampoo them out as I read that that should help keep them in place. Thank you for the video the information was very helpful! 2 and a half year old video so you may not see this but Keep up the good work brother you got one more subscriber now.

LOVE THE "FRIENDS" T-SHIRT!!!

That's quite the intro!! Helpful tips though. Wish I'd seen it before getting my locks.

Thank you so much for this video!! Very helpful & informative as per usual!! Also, I love your shirt. 😊

I just started my dreadlocks, and I just started the itchy phase, from a constant washing routine. Whoops. They’re matting together nicely and look pretty cool though. Thank you for the advice

The sebaceous glands (oil producing glands) may be a bit unbalanced when first starting dreads as I'm now noticing, you are right about setting a pattern. It's like eating and sleeping, patterns create balance.

Love the Central Perk shirt

i waited for 6 days and i wash my hair once per week! i got dreads my dreads 3 weeks ago and they looks a bit messy but they will come together within a year as you say i hope! =) thanks for this video!

Thanks for all of your videos

I swear this guys a total life saver I haven’t got dreds yet but I’m staring the process this week and my main fear was how the hell do you put these in yourself ( I’ve KZreadd it and watched about 30 videos I have a good enough idea ) and my other worry was how often do I wash them and honestly I don’t even wash my actual hair once a week so I feel like this is the best decision for me and honestly I can tick it off my bucket list

Love your videos...and your shirt is awesome, I actually just went to the Friends Experience in NY this past Saturday lol

love your friends shirt!!!!

Love your shirt

Good advice

Yeah the lady who did mine told me I had to wait multiple months

I've been prepping my hair for the last 2 months - I'm able to go 7-8 days between washes (super fine and thin hair) - I also haven't used shampoo or conditioner for over three months. I've been researching and waiting for the best time to do my dreads for over a decade, and it's finally going to happen next weekend! *happy dance* Just wanted to say thanks for all these vids, as they have been entertaining and reinforcing the positive information I have found (ie. not using wax, using baking soda and acv for deep cleans, etc.) online and through other friends that have had dreads. I doubt there is anyone more prepared for this new hair life! Have a great day! :D

Oh... I meant I wash it with not shampoo and conditioner - have yet to find a good soap, so in the mean time, I am using dish soap. I have baby fine hair, so between that and the the lemon juice, I'm trying to get it dread ready. Sorry for the confusion.

​@@LazyDreads you must be talking to white people

I myself did not change my hair washing routine. I have naturally curly hair anyway and using a residue free shampoo as u have suggested in the past, I wash my youngins once or twice a week.

your videos are very helpful 👏🙌

I had no idea it's normal for young dreads to loosen n get all frizzy after a wash, I thought it was something I was doing wrong. I'm so glad, I was just about to take em out thinking I failed. lol

So helpful!

I want to get a few locks underneath at the back. About 1/3 of my hair locked. I already only wash my hair twice a week. Thank you for this video :o)

Ah I love your shirt 😍

I've watched this many times already, I just realized your shirt XD

thanks for this

been watching your videos for days now

Just from dreads not when I had Afro 10 months thanks I finally can understand what you mean I’m going to wash right now I normally do 3 day but I did like 5 or 7 days today’s not sure I did put a lil oil and your right it buildin up

I have not washed my hair with shampoo for about 3 and a half months now, instead i have used cider vinegar and salt water. My hair and head is a lot healthier than it has ever been and dreading is easy, even though my hair is only 5 inches.

Thanks for the Videos.. They make my baby dreads seem.. less scary lol I think ill wait 7-8 days or until i get my dollylocks shampoo bar in le mail until i wash instead of the 4 weeks they told me at the salon my head tends to get kinda oily..

I do love your videos. I find them very helpful and educational, especially considering I've been getting ready to have my hair dreaded but, I do however have a question. With being a newly "dread head" with getting dreads for the first time, what are you supposed to, or can you do with new growth?

Love your shirt :-D

Had my dreads almost 5-6 months it’s something you should think about before doing tbh

That dope shirt got me like

Good thing it's the end of summer and Ive only been taking a shower once a week

Iam a Welder and I have dreads. Sometimes I must wash my hair more in the week. I used lemon shampoo

Thank you for this!, I was scared and still am about washing my bb dreads for the first time xD im still a little scared but its alot less worst

Love the shirt brah haha

Was recommended to watch your videos by a friend of yours...so pleased I have, as found them very informative..thank you! I have baby dreadz and my dread journey has just begun. You mentioned that you use essential oils when your hair is feeling dry. Mine is terribly dry after having bleached it a couple of days before dreading(mistake). May I ask which oils you would recommend?

I changed my washing to every other day 6 months before I back combed and kept washing the same after I did the back combing. Never changed it up for a week or anything.

I'm working on 3 weeks! With my dreads going to wash every 3 weeks baking soda first

COOL -thanks for tips :)

Lol I dig the shirt.

alright check it out. I waited 3 days without washing my hair to get the dreads done, then washed them for the first time about 3 weeks later and they're coming in great. now they're clean too :D

Very informative, thank you!! Love your t-shirt by the way!! lol! * ^_^ *

Sooo helpful

What should you do if you have dreads mixed with non dreaded hair? how should I separate them?

you can wear a thigh high on new dreads when washing to prevent loosening

Love ittt

appreciate you man! just started 4 days in wondering if I should wash them today they knotted pretty good I'm using beeswax to start n I wanna wash it out n put more

Dude ur spot on as I was washing frequent (curly girl hair method ekk lol 🤷😂🤚🤪) I'm going to email u pix to show I mine OHHH I'm stoked they look Soo cool n I just FINALLY lol finished early yesterday am . I've made clay beads do u recommend or not to add beads n things or wait no not at all I WANNA learn it all I'm totally embracing this awesomeness of dreads 💯😉👊👊🙌🙌👍

i washed my twist n rip dreads 3 days after putting them in. i used 3 tbs of bicarbonate of soda and rubbed it through, then used normal shampoo (instead of normal washing i kinda scrunched my hands through with shampoo and rinsed well) . i towel dried and used a hairdried to just dry my roots a little. i then used a homemade spritz of essential oils (peppermint, teatree, jasmine and lavender) and spritz it through. the dreads fluffed up a TINY bit. but once fully dryed i used a vegan hair wax to palm roll them and they looked completly fine. i now smell like a hospital but at least my dreads are clean af. xD

How about drying? Use a towel? Stroke in same direction?

No one had a question similar, but I've been growing my hair for about 3 months now(from last haircut) I use a sponge to help my coils.. When I wake up they're almost all gone.. I thought I was supposed to wash less, I'm wondering should I wash more?

Glad I already wash my hair once a week.

thank YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

I just finished my dreads last night. l've been working on them for a week. the older ones held together. the new ones just get loser.

I already only wash my hair once a week bc it is so dry. I feel like my hair is practically begging to be dreadlocks. I have resorted to wearing a really ugly bun partially bc I can't get the knots out fast enough. So I'm gonna try dreads I'm really scared bc so much of my identity is wrapped up in my long hair. Also, I live in an extremely hot climate but i just can't keep on being completely short on style when it comes to my hair.

you just save my dreads thanks buddy ;)

+Lazy Dreads I'm on the 2 week of my new dreads and the irration is bearable. but the first shop I went to do said I had to wait 3 months to wash them! and the new shop I'm at now said I don't need to wash it.

I wash mine every 4 days it's a great thing dreads aren't gross there healthy locs are healthy my advice to you is to find a pattern that works best for you 1 a week 1every 2 weeks depends on how you like your dreads

and what would also be the best to use to wash approximately one month old dreads

Do you recommend using anything to wash new dreads with? Like a hat or something to help them not want to wash out? Going to start my dread journey today. Already have the wash pattern down just want to make sure they won’t wash out on my first wash. But I guess we’ll see how it goes!

I have straight hair and did twist n rip method. My dreads are very loose and flat (2 days old) should they be tight when I start them? I tried fixing them with a crochet hook but it doesn't really work because they're basically just messy/frizzy looking braids. Should I start over and do them tighter? Or will they knot up eventually? I'm so confused as to what they should be like to start with..

I made my dreadlocks 4 months ago (twist n rip) and became a little obsessed with crocheting... to the point where most of the hairs have been broken. Nonetheless, they still seem to be holding well. I have been struggling to find the balance between oiliness and dryness, as they tend to sound like straw when I would manually bend them. I have been putting drops of oil on my scalp for a month and a half, previously I was simply spraying them with a distilled water and essential oil mixture. My dreads now have a more natural "swing" to them, although I still find them a bit stiff and potentially dry... I'm scared to wash them and dry them up to the point of their disintegration. The only "wash" I have done was an ACV rinse at the 1 month mark. I don't feel like they are dirty, but I am starting to consider seeing what happens after a wash. Is there a particular concoction that would be gentle to the brittleness of my dreads? Thanks!

+Ciara Collingbourne I would recommend washing them more regularly than only once in four months - they may stop feeling oily after that time, but they will benefit from being washed and a good quality dreadlock shampoo should contain the right balance of ingredients to keep your hair healthy and strong.

+lazy dreads the front of my scalp peeled when I scratch it. Did this happen from not washing.

I've heard you talk about basically having a schedule on washing your dreads. I'm going to start mine next week. I baby my hair a lot so I only wash about once a week or so. Pretty much whenever I feel it needs to be. Should I give myself a schedule or just continue doing the same?

I just started my dreads today. I'm not washing them until halloween

I wash my hair every sunday, wednesday and thursday

Damn wish I seen this before I got my done. I washed my hair everyday before. It's true. Causes alot more irritation. My brother didn't wash his everyday and he got less of a tension rash. Mine was showing up as we did it

Hell yeah you just answered all the questions I had in mind thanks bro I just started my locs 6 days ago on honestly on the 4th day they were super itchy I had sweat and oils built up scalp was red and irritated so I washed I was scared to wash cus they told me to wait one week but I did it anyway they frizzed up a little and got very few loose hairs but they didn't unravel any advice on maintenance? I plan to shower every 4 days after the shower I patted and blew my dreads with the blow dryer untill dry should I palm roll or just let it be? My hair is naturally really thin and straight

+Lazy Dreads what shampoo do you use? I used some castile soap with natural oils the first day after back combing and front dreads are loose. Thanks
