    Natural shampoo recipe that I've used for about two years now that doesn't cause build up. It's great for silky, shiny hair, and for hair growth. I love it! I double or triple the recipe so it lasts longer. I'm lazy like that. 😁
    ❏ 1/4 cup of water in glass mixing bowl
    ❏ 3/4 cup castile soap
    ❏ 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    ❏ 10 drops tea tree oil
    ❏ 5 drops lemon oil
    ❏ 2 drops lavender
    ❏ 2 drops peppermint
    ❏ 3 drops thieves oil
    ❏ 5 drops Rosemary
    ❏ 5 drops Clary Sage
    ❏ 5 drops Thyme
    ❏ 5 drops Cedarwood
    ❏ Leave in for 3 minutes
    ❏ Rinse

    Hello lovely lady. I got a full head of dreads a week ago. I didn't do research before committing, not the first one. Watching your videos on crocheting and dread maintenance has put my mind at ease. Feeling more comfortable and confident from your shared dread knowledge. I will be getting urgent maintenance tomorrow. From then on I will be using the oils you prescribed in this video (Not coconut oil, as I found out the hard way haha). Using your palm rolling technique and frequent crochet practise. Should be a pro in no time. Love your videos, you are super bubbly and charismatic. Charming personality. I will stay tuned. I sincerely thank you for your time.

    I'm 16 and I've wanted dreads since I was 11. My hair is to like my shoulders and its brown. I'm super inspired by your hair, I'm going to dye it pink or use the conditioner you used then I'm going to put my hair in dreads. I'll be sure to buy your kit and use your tips for care. I'm extremely excited about this

    I use Dr Bronners DILUTED with water (about 1 part Dr B to 10 parts water - super watery) and I use a squeeze ketchup bottle to get it on the scalp for a regular washing. For a deep cleanse, I like to make an ACV, lemon juice and baking soda mixture with water in a bowl and soak for a while then rinse. It’s magical! (The proof will be in the bowl - pretty gnarly). Happy Dread journey indeed. (I’m on my 3rd set and have learned a lot about having thin, straight, white girl dreads).

    I was crochet-maintaining my 4 yo dreads as I was watching you video, and.. holy wow!!!!! I'll finish watching your video, but- and I've been SEARCHING self-maintanance videos for *years* and never saw anything that actually helped! Your hand-rolling technique right around the 6min mark literally just took everything I'd just spent the last 15min trying to crochet, and LEGIT took care of it in 3 seconds!!!

    @thejazzpianist25 2 роки тому +3

    Rough transcript / my notes:
    On the daily:
    FIRST:
    Shower in a bottle: distilled water (keep from mildew), essential oils - lavender (moisturizing), rosemary, tea tree (antifungal, helps with itchy scalp), eucalyptus, lime (revitalizing), peppermint
    SECOND:
    Oil - same mixture, except, instead of distilled water, it’s apricot / almond / vit E / olive / avocado oil (whichever is best)  DON’T use sesame or coconut oil. Can moisturize dreads but also use on scalo specifically, esp when dreads are new or freshly tightened. Helps with dandruff and itchiness.
    Occasionally:
    If have bad dandruff itch problem, use head and shoulders with tea tree added will help, soaked on scalp for a bit and rinsed - but not on dreadlocks themselves cuz of residue. Do not use wax ever.
    Palm rolling - can help with frizzies.
    Washing dreads, once every couple weeks.
    More you wash, looser they get. But when you dry after washing, they tighten up. Try not to wash when you are able not to. Uses dr bronners with lavender when washes hair but she’s looking for conditioning shampoo. Lush? Daddio is purple. Don’t let dreads stay wet. Thicker = longer time to dry. Can get mildew. No bun or braid while wet. Deep cleansing wash if you did get skunk sprayed or something. Use soak of raw apple cider vinegar (ew stinky) but feel soft afterward. No conditioner.
    Maintenance:
    Month after get dreads, 6 months after that, once a year after that.
    Turn roots into dreadlocks via backcombing loose hair and using crochet hook. Trial and error to make the roots dreads the same diameter as rest of dreads.
    After maintenance will be achy and tender or itchy for a couple days.

    So if you go swimming say in a river or pool, what if you can’t dry your dreads for a long time? What do I do to make them not mildew? I want dreads in the summer but I want to know as much as possible to keep them clean and stuff before I get them💚

    • @sisterursuline
      @sisterursuline 2 роки тому

      You can’t leave them wet for long periods.. period. They will mildew. Either keep them up when you swim or make sure you can dry them all or almost all the way before sleeping.

    I'm a fiber artist in Humboldt. When I wash wool or felt wool, I have to hang it up to dry and throughout the day spinning it. The amount of time acceptable for them to be wet is two days. I learned that a really gross way one evening. Random comment lol.

    I agree with all your fans, your are both super clear on all of it and also a joy to watch. Really appreciate your sAys it from real perspective never too blow hard not fairy princess . I’ve ewanted to have fat dreads and braids and all that for 40 years am 63 in January and st the 10 year place where I do some wise Why not and rockbit till it’s got to be cut again to my ears . I do have a question. Are these going to feel at ALL like those synthetic dreads do? No way I can deal with with that. Have felt the rookies and they are soft and if I do this I think a mix of full on dreads some with free loose ends and that same idea with what I’d like in a variety of braids and knots. Q2) Can I start out from my virgin thick strands and a lot of them by adding extentions and like crochet those on? If I care for and do use extentions will they last for as long as I want them to or more of a temp thing

    i have dyed hair that’s green currently and i’m also starting my dread journey for my second time! my first time was just started naturally because i have curly hair and i never (oops) brush my hair and i didn’t use conditioner at the time (double oops). now that i have longer and healthier hair i’m starting out with scattered dreads and having my naturally curly hair down as well (if that makes sense). I’m so lucky to have found these videos this time and to be able to know exactly what i need and how to take care of them! i currently have one little dread and his name is Philip, i named him because i felt bad that he was all alone 😅. anyway, thank you for the amazing content and being well educated on what you’re discussing!

      I use oils anyway for other things but never thought to use them on my 6 month old dreads. GREAT IDEA. I have fractionated coconut oil because it is so not greasy . That would be great for the scalp...but how many drops in total do you use in what quantity_ Your video is great...first time I thought to check on UA-cam too...need to tidy them up and your explanation and really fun attitude was just the perfect way to sit watch, tidy and drink coffee in the morning. Thanks! I{m in Baja California Sur, Mexico, but will head up to San Diego and then LA in January....where would you be traveling from if I wanted dread help_

  • @katiekat1518

    I'm starting my dreads this week. I was going to go to a salon once my disability kicked in, however they want $350 if your hair is 6 inches, and the longer it is, obviously the more costly. I figured it'd be more of an experience and better journey if I did them myself. So, therefore, sniffing around youtube watching different dread tips and how to's. You mentioned don't let them stay wet. Do you suggest towel drying and squeezing into the towel? Or maybe keeping the blow dryer handy? I'd really appreciate a response.

I just ordered your shower in a bottle and massage in a bottle. And I can’t wait for it to get here! I’ve also ordered dolly locs refreshening and tightening sprays because I did extensions.

    I know what you want to wash your dreads with. I am never with out it for YEARS! My hair is hugely thick and each strand is also thick
    Renpure Cleansing Conditioner is Awesome. It does not suds up at all but washes very well. Keep adding water as you do the product to move it. I don’t need to use any other product even as a horse hair girl. Suds in my thinking is abrasive breaking the cuticle some each wash & over time split ends unless you regularly trim. I also never brush it but with my fingers when I wash…an average of 3x a month though I do rinse it lots in Summer for sure

    I've been seriously considering dreads, but my mother thinks they won't be good because they'll get "gross and moldy" but after watching this I'm pretty set on doing dreads, at least for a little while. is there a way to make dreads easier to brush out if I don't want them permanent

    I want to try out dreads but my hair is a tiny bit too short? It's almost to my shoulders but no quite? I only want to try 2-3 dreads? What should I do? Because I REALLY want to try dreads? But what should I do about washing my dreaded hair and my non-dreaded hair??? Please try and answer this if you can?

      I have partial ddreadlocks (5 underneath the rest of my flowing hair) I separate them in the shower. I'll condition my flowing hair once every few days, and just move my dreads to the opposite side and be careful not to put them directly in the water flow. Then once every week or two I will wash my entire scalp with Dr bronners, and I'll wash each of my dreads with it too. Just make sure you use a towel and squeeze all the water out

    My dreads are a month old and every so how one has 2 to 3 maybe more loops. You'd are so straight and rope like! Do you crochet the loops in or did you just not get any loops?

    I have an issue.. I have synth dread extensions. I also work as a cannabis trimmer😁. The smell is overwhelming overwhelming. I have to shampoo my hair everyday. I know this isn’t appropriate for dreads but idk what else to do. Is there a suggestion to help eliminate the smell or to prevent it?
    Some days are far worse then others depending on the strain.

    You are my favorite dread lady on the tube! Last week I followed through with your twist and tear method mixed with some back combing, and I am really trying to get the crocheting down but am having troubleI also used bee's wax...did I already fuck them up? Should I try to wash them to get the wax out or just keep going and not add anymore??? Or do something else? I hope you get this... thank you for your videos

    Hi Flora, I have dreadhawk and extensions to bring thickness and length. The extension is grey and black and now I would like to bleach the ends but not sure if it will get bleached... Also I want dreads to the sides and now growing my hair but not sure how long my hair needs to be since I need extensions to them?
