As a white guy, I feel proud when black people call me "dread"... it's happened a few times with strangers. Like, "Hey dread, let me ask you a question"... it's like the ultimate title of respect. I'm very willing to answer their question at that point.
Any suggestions for a 30+ yr old white Male with wanting to go with dreads. My hair is about 16-18 inches currently. I had natural locks in college just letting them lock up from some braids but I didn't know proper maintenance being mid west white and pre internet 90s. Thanks
My husband didn't want me to get dreads because he thought I couldn't wash them and my hair would stink. My aunt has locs...I got some info from her and ended up doing some research that I shared with him...now I can't wait to start my loc journey with his support.
I couldn't agree more. What language you use to describe something doesn't matter as long as everyone is equally educated and respecting of other people
That’s what my Abuelita said. I’m sure she meant no harm because she just didn’t know. By the way, How far are you in your dreadlock journey so far?? 🤗
That's has happened to me many a time before. So many people just don't understand myth from fact. But at least we have two things that set us apart from them. Some peace giving hair and the will to educate ourselves before we make stupid assumptions. We need to start a movement white, black, Indian, Latino, and everyone who has Dreadlocks to educate those who know very little and to end descrimination against them.
I absolutely love and appreciate you for this video. We have the same mission to change the narrative and to focus on education ❤️ I love Dreadlocks, Locs, knotty Dred, Jatta, Rasta, sister Locs, brother locs, all the Locs lol.
You are right. Most African Americans say 'locs' and will be ready to fight you if you say dreadlocs. I don't underatand why people care about the name so much. Speak life into your hair everyday and watch it flourish 💗
It has been said that white people would call locs "dreadful" on black people thus forming the name dreadlocks, and nothing is dreadful about it, so they cut off the word "dread". I won't fight anyone over a name but that's definitely why some others would. So it's similar to another word white people used for something related to black people...
I don’t hear most black people in america calling them locs, and I don’t see people ‘ready to fight’ if you call them something else I think that’s exaggerated. Who’s really getting that upset over it.. I’ve always called them dreads or dreadlocks myself and whenever it comes up in conversation, they’re called dreads or something else so not that you’re wrong and i’m right or anything but I don’t black people in america are that pressed about the name either
@@SuperCutiepie1012 let me rephrase, in MY part of America, African American WOMEN get highly upset over calling their hair dreads instead of locs. I have had a lady get in my face, angry at me for calling her a dreadhead...no exaggeration.
Bravo!! Bravo!! I love what you said. I'm new the the dreadloc/loc/ dread community. I'm 2 months loc'd today. YAAAAAY!! I'm from Detroit MI. Before wanted to start my locs. I called other people's hair dreadlocs or dreads. When I began to do research on dreads, I found out on UA-cam a lot of people perfer to call them Locs. I didn't know it was offensive to call them dreads or dreadlocs. The term dreadloc doesn't bother me. Whatever comes out of my mouth thats what they are, dreadlocs, dreads or locs. Your dreads are beautiful and looks very clean.
I live in America born and raised. Most black especially in my age group(23 and younger) call them dreads. Dreadlocks too but that’s the long version. We just call them dreads.
"Dreadlocks, locs, nati, rasta... You can call them however you want!.. But Let's educate people to respect it, and educate that we wash it!.. " This made my day!) Thanks and Greetings from Moldova!
You stole my video idea. Lol!!!! Great minds think alike. I think I will just share yours instead of posting mine. I love your videos. Keep up he good work💛💛💛💛
Thank you for this video. I am 6 months into my locs and love it. Did my husbands and it looks great on him so it motivated me to do mine. In the Caribbean we call the hair dreadlocs and the person is called a Rastafarian💖✊🏿
I def learned a lot. And ya know, as an African-American...I didn’t notice that it really is just us that make it a point to NOT say “Dreadlocks”....thank you for always being informative and teaching me. Also, I just got “instant locs” and I couldn’t be happier. You had a lot of influence on that.
I am growing mine out to get dreads. Kris McDred did a short video covering the dreaded lock warriors/Buffalo Soldiers and made me even more proud and committed towards the purpose of my growth!
When people ask me what I have on my head I usually reply: "this is my coiffure, these are my ropes and these are my roots". This is the hair style of our ancestors, of our elders and hopefully will still be part of our future. Smart video and very informative thank you for sharing :)
Thank u soo much for inspiring me to grow dreadz .. and instructing me on how to keep them clean and instant lock them you are the best realtalk ..I’m going on my 8th month and I love my Rasta!! dreadlocks✊🏽
I’m growing my hair out from a pixie cut. I want to dread my hair and I’d love for u to do them!! I’ve seen ur work on straight hair no one near can do better
So I am newly loc’d but I prefer to call my hair “locs.” To me the term dreadlocks has a negative connotation, so I’d rather not use it. Just like I never referred to my loose natural hair as “nappy.” That is negative to me as well. However I do agree that we need to educate people more about locs. I’ve heard so many narrow minded opinions, it’s sad really. Great video, thanks for sharing ❤️!
Hi, I truely admire this method of loc maintenance, but have yet to find someone that does it! Do you suggest someone in Atlanta, GA or a state near by??
Ey Kris, in one of your videos you said you wanted to make a new youtube channel to tell stories about black people history and I am very interested but don't know if you've already started the channel and if so what it's called. I think many people, black and white, would be interested in those stories! I would be! Keep up the good work! Love from Holland
in portuguese we say rastas, the first time I heard the other names I didn't know it was the same thing, I belive we use the same name as Africans because (unfortunatly) we had colunies in Africa for a long time and so got exposed to the culture, I've always loved rastas and a some of us rock them (also my grammar might be awful since english isn't my first language) keep up the educational videos I love them!
My hair is interlocked but I’ve been trying to find a good instant locking professional, do u do any appointments or work in a shop I could go too, I’m in Louisiana but will make the road trip to make my dreads look right. Any help would be appreciated
Respect to you kris all the way from west London. I full-joy watching your videos I just want to ask you can u explain what to wash hair with also what oils to use?
Once again such a positive and wise video! I'm 7 months into my freeform lock journey. It's always nice to see a new video from you! edit... I call them dreadlocks and locks btw! Sending good vibes
@@mathieuclerte5252 If any person stops brushing their hair, doesn't mess with it and wash it with a residue free shampoo apx 2 or 3 days a week., your hair will naturally form into dreadlocks.
@@mathieuclerte5252 Pretty much all, definitely most, "normal" shampoos have chemicals in them that will get stuck inside dreadlocks causing a lot of problems. It can make mold start growing, it's just bad all around. A residue free shampoo doesn't have those chemicals and will leave no residue left in your locks. I personally use shampoo from a company called Dollylocks. They make products specifically for locks. There are a lot of options though. If you google residue free shampoo, a lot will come up. To put it simply, residue free shampoo simply completely rinses out of your hair and leaves no chemicals left on your hair.....
My Dad is Jamaican and he explained the story of Rasta and why we never call Locs Dreadlocs. He explain when man went on the Rasta journey and the white man saw a man with his Rasta locs and said they look dreadful and they began call them dreadlocs and this is why I never call them dreadlocs. However you can name and call them what ever you wish. They are in your head and you have the choice to call them whatever you want.
Hey my loctician was talking about going to Dubai for a refresher course. And I asked her by who. And she said you which was good because I like the way you do it.
Glad I found you ...you are so real. I'm going on 60 female shoulder length graying hair but have autoimmune diseases my hair is slightly thinning have medium density but super fine curly wavy hair high porosity (Jamaican Chinese decent). Its becoming difficult to do my hair (no chem in 4 yrs.) .. where can I find someone like what u do. I'm in MD ]please
I’m “African American” and I call them locs lol. I was laughing when you pointed that out. I called them locs because white ppl when they were fighting with the Africans in the Caribbeans put the name “dread” on the loc hair ones because they “feared” them.
In Vietnam, there are some tribes who carry locs and they are seen as a royal symbol..... I dont know what they call them there, but they just grow it naturally. Asians are commonly viewed as having straight hair, but in actuality many of the peoples of the east have curly hair, even afro..... :)
I think I would like to just refer to it as "natural hair" considering it's what happens when hair is left in its natural state. When I do call it a name I call it whatever word comes up that day. My Locs, my dreadlocks, my dreads, my hair... My hair has been in this state for 2 years since I ceased the impedance of its natural state by putting down the brush. Like you said We wash our hair normally but unlike most a majority of the people in this world we choose not to alter it. So what we have is unaltered hair. Sure some people accelerate the process and some people maintain them with the purpose of adding some kind of order to their hair but most of us just let it do its thing.
I have to do my own loc's, I been doing it for a year now and my loc's are really frizzy. I use a 12/1.00mm crochet needle, is there a better one I should use or am I doing something wrong? Please let me know
I remember being in middle school and wanting the style, but my dad use to tell me that "you wont be able to wash them" and a few of my black friends told me that " thats a lie, you can wash them,-" but was told that its a very VERY dedicated process to maintain. So i figured that I would pass up the option, since i didnt take care of my long hair but i still wanted to learn about them. I actually wanted to know if white people could still wash them, if European hair was able to hold up the same way, does it?
Waguan Kris? Is head & shoulders alright for some dandruff issue... Or oils for that dandruff and flakiness? I use dollylocks rosemary peppermint and a tighten gel and spray and love those products, but for some people alot of Dread site's are gimmicky, and as you know Kris I am Caucasian. Enjoy your videos and keep it going sensei of the dreadlock community!
Where are you located where can I get dreads on my hair I got an afro and I saw your offer radio and I loved how the way how you made her hair I want to do something like that but I just wanted to have on each side going down for I can see how long it is I'm a big fan of you
My dreads are sown to my butt and i work in corporate environment as an IT professional. I feel the style has come a long way and I'm sure there are situation that people view the style in a negative way. But I say just focus on the road ahead of you, show love and respect. The other things will follow.
Ppl really do NEED to stop nitpicking stuff thats not important...and as Mr Kriss said...get to the root of the problem which is getting it accepted globally as a professional hairstyle...rather than fools sayin they are unprofessional
As a white guy, I feel proud when black people call me "dread"... it's happened a few times with strangers. Like, "Hey dread, let me ask you a question"... it's like the ultimate title of respect. I'm very willing to answer their question at that point.
YESS!!!!!! As a white person with dreads it warms my hearts
You just happen to be white👌🏾👌🏾
Any suggestions for a 30+ yr old white Male with wanting to go with dreads. My hair is about 16-18 inches currently. I had natural locks in college just letting them lock up from some braids but I didn't know proper maintenance being mid west white and pre internet 90s. Thanks
MegaMike T do twist and rip method and then use a crochet hook. Search up straight hair dreads crochet and twist and rip tutorial
I'm white got dreads not locs. My hairs straight, no curl like afro hair so won't twist and lock together. So dreads. "Namaste my friend"
My husband didn't want me to get dreads because he thought I couldn't wash them and my hair would stink. My aunt has locs...I got some info from her and ended up doing some research that I shared with him...now I can't wait to start my loc journey with his support.
WE WASH OUR HAIR WE ARE PROFESSIONALS
BAND TOGETHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS
I couldn't agree more. What language you use to describe something doesn't matter as long as everyone is equally educated and respecting of other people
most African Americans i know just say "dreads". I do too
I say locs
I am African-American and I told my mother I am getting dreadlocks she said your hair is going to be dirty I said it’s just a name I wash my hair🙁
That’s what my Abuelita said. I’m sure she meant no harm because she just didn’t know. By the way, How far are you in your dreadlock journey so far?? 🤗

anyone else start dancing when he started naming all the countries.. he had a beat going there
I really respect your professionalism on doing dread locks ♥️
Kris man You are definitely a legend Your hair is amazing
I like to say locs but its personal preference, the focus needs to be how we can be respected with our locs, i agree!!
Amen, and thanks for the education.
A lot of native Americans call them ropes. It's phonetically closer to our word for spinning loose fibers, like hair or mullberry bark
I’m growing my hair out from a pixie cut. I want to dread my hair and I’d love for u to do them!! I’ve seen ur work on straight hair no one near can do better

In Korea, they call it Reggae Hair. I like to call mine dreadlocks too, but in video titles I usually use the term locs.
Also kris when is the style vid coming? Would love to the some that you use
Love this video, it's Beautiful.
Where you located ?? im trying to start my loc journey you seem very official
Beautiful hair, beautiful message.
So solid. Assertive and Righteous. These are excellent points. I stand corrected. It’s hair. ☺️
This guy is super smart and lovely. Peace!
So good. So so good. 👌🏽
Hi Kris, do you have any thoughts on dreadlocks effect on hair growth?
No effect. Same grow rate with any hair style.
My Dad is Jamaican and he explained the story of Rasta and why we never call Locs Dreadlocs. He explain when man went on the Rasta journey and the white man saw a man with his Rasta locs and said they look dreadful and they began call them dreadlocs and this is why I never call them dreadlocs.

There is no evidence for this.
I love your hair too.
I’m from the Caribbean and we call people with dreads Rasta and even my family only when I came to America I started to hear locs
Wow your hair Grow fast af
Hey my loctician was talking about going to Dubai for a refresher course. And I asked her by who. And she said you which was good because I like the way you do it.
thanks bro for explaining im Australian🇦🇺😎🤙🏿I thought locs was a different type but it's the same thing😂🤣
Please can you do a video on how you maintain and retwist your dreadlocks? Thanks
Done my first dreadlocks in August and this is the best thing what happened to my hair.
Thank you Kris, your videos helped me a lot!)

Much love my fellow artist🙏
Your hair is amazing
Can you do a video on how to get instant locs with a crochet hook?
he did
He did that already. First video I seen by him.
I’m “African American” and I call them locs lol. I was laughing when you pointed that out. I called them locs because white ppl when they were fighting with the Africans in the Caribbeans put the name “dread” on the loc hair ones because they “feared” them.
I never knew that.. where you get info?
That's what I learned too
That’s exactly why I call them dreadlocs so what if they scared
Nothing but truth
That is completely false information. Rastas came together and called them dread because it represents that they dread Jah (God).
I had a student tell me “my mama told me not to call them dreads because there is nothing dreadful about locs” and that kinda stuck with me✊🏾
Yesss love my locs!!!
In Vietnam, there are some tribes who carry locs and they are seen as a royal symbol..... I dont know what they call them there, but they just grow it naturally. Asians are commonly viewed as having straight hair, but in actuality many of the peoples of the east have curly hair, even afro..... :)
SO TRUE BROTHER ... SO TRUE ... Education should be our primary focus...
In india we call it jatas
Yes, I noticed that AA call it 'locs'. In the Uk, we call them 'dreadlocks' or 'dreads for short or 'locks for short.
If you was in NYC I would’ve like for you to loc my hair!!
Hello mr kris
I think I would like to just refer to it as "natural hair" considering it's what happens when hair is left in its natural state.
When I do call it a name I call it whatever word comes up that day. My Locs, my dreadlocks, my dreads, my hair...
My hair has been in this state for 2 years since I ceased the impedance of its natural state by putting down the brush.
Like you said We wash our hair normally but unlike most a majority of the people in this world we choose not to alter it.
So what we have is unaltered hair. Sure some people accelerate the process and some people maintain them with the purpose of adding some kind of order to their hair but most of us just let it do its thing.
First like and comment in here boi
Amen! Well said!
I have to do my own loc's, I been doing it for a year now and my loc's are really frizzy. I use a 12/1.00mm crochet needle, is there a better one I should use or am I doing something wrong? Please let me know
try 0.75mm
Looking well brother
Can you do my dreadlocks?
I love you spirit Chris. Call it what you want!!
I want to be apart of making our hair , including locs respected . It’s apart of us . I wash my hair everyday too lol
Yes Sir
What a amazing Video! Lets focus oh education!
How much would you charge to do instant locking?
I've used both dreadlocks and locs before just kinda depends on my mood lol.
Im STILL waiting for someone to actually have the time to do my hair! 👀
What city are you in ?
I remember being in middle school and wanting the style, but my dad use to tell me that "you wont be able to wash them" and a few of my black friends told me that " thats a lie, you can wash them,-" but was told that its a very VERY dedicated process to maintain.

Enjoy your videos and keep it going sensei of the dreadlock community!
Head n shoulders is too thick for dreadlocks. I don't recommend it.
Have you tried t-gel as a weekly treatment ? Seems to work for some. We use rose essential oil after wash & dry to help with the scalp
Where are you located where can I get dreads on my hair I got an afro and I saw your offer radio and I loved how the way how you made her hair I want to do something like that but I just wanted to have on each side going down for I can see how long it is I'm a big fan of you
McDred can you do video on reattaching you own broken off locs. please
Yes. Check my other videos
My dreads are sown to my butt and i work in corporate environment as an IT professional. I feel the style has come a long way and I'm sure there are situation that people view the style in a negative way. But I say just focus on the road ahead of you, show love and respect.
