    This is a fab video, full of great info an knowledge! We are hairloss specialists and use a crochet interlocking method. We interlock the roots and crochet the mid lengths and ends. This creates instant looking dreads, a natural look! Palm roll over time can lead to alopecia, hairloss and breakage.

      Addi G It takes an EXTREME amount of patience if you want free forms. My hair was/is curly just like yours. It took at least 6 months for them to even start locking up. Just simply let your hair grow, just let time do it’s thing. The only thing I did to maintain them is I barely washed my hair (maybe twice out the whole week) & separate the dread when I seen too much hair locking up in one place (very important because you could end up getting super thick Congo like dreads). I’m 4 years in with the free forms. Wish I could show a pic, shits fire, love catching everyone attention just walking through.

      Foodrun if you think free forms are ew don’t even consider getting dreads free forms are a way of living a way of showing maturity in not just your hair but in life, one must accept his natural self by letting the hair do what it wants your hair is an extension of your self dah freeforms hold more energy then any none free formed dreads. It shows dedication self love and you feel accomplished it’s a whole boost in your life after free forming no one can bust down ur positive vibes.

    @mych408 5 років тому +7

    Honestly, it's better to just go with the twist/free-form method. It may lock instantly for now with the tool but a year or two down the line you'll notice the difference. Locs are like ropes (of hair) , if you keep poking holes in it to make em tighter, they'll be hallow, hard, and inconsistent in terms of thickness. I did it and regretted it big time so I'm semi-free forming now. But that's just my experience with it. Best of luck on y'all journeys which ever you do decide on.
