    Yo dude I jus wanna personally thank you. I started my dreads a couple months ago and I've been getting seriously frustrated with'em. Like to the point that I wuz almost ready to jus cut them out. But your videos have seriously helped me, and my dreads are already looking better. So again thank you so much

  • @JReam425

    Interlocking is definitely beneficially, I started out with twisting then about a year in I started with interlocking and twisting maintenance every 8-12 weeks. Gets in a lot of the loose hair especially if your curl pattern is as tight as possible.

    @rebekahwhitman5607 6 років тому +1

    Crochet and knit are very different and use different tools to do it crochet uses a hook like what you are using in your hair and knitting is done with 2 knitting needles. FYI. I love watching you and you share lots of great info for locs. I have been watching you since right before I started my loc journey over 2 years ago.

  • @reno419rockstar
    @reno419rockstar 6 років тому +8

    I interlock myself with a latch hook. And get a retwist between sessions. Your hair follicle has a life span. As the hair falls out a new one replaces it. A retwist allows this hair to grow longer. Using water or water based gel & some clips after you wash your hair, then blow dry. This won't lock your hair texture. After 1-2 months you will see how much new growth you have. Then that's when you interlock. That also keeps the frizzies to a minimum. You can also switch all the way over. Also, the reason people think your dreads are thinning is because they are not use to the interlocking method. Interlocking is actually braiding, so it will be skinnier (microbraids). Twisting is a lot more loose hair strands. You see this in rope patterns all time. Twisted rope tends to be thicker. Braided rope is thinner. Interlocking also shortens the dread because it's not an open ended braid & the dead hairs don't slide down the dread shaft. It remains locked into place (which also causes frizzies). Interlocking does last a lot longer. You can be very active and don't have to worry about sweating it out. You can get your hair wet and don't worry. Hope I helped. #greatfam

    i get your point about sticking to interlocking if you started, i interlocked my dreads once and hated the look so went back to palm rolling, all i can say is that i have interlock scaring on the shaft of my dreads, so you can see where i interlocked.

    Just wanted to say you can interlock and palm roll. You can switch back and forth between the two. A lot of loctitians suggest getting interlocking done at least twice a year because it makes a more secure base.

    @AbdulRahimGreen 2 роки тому

    What kind of comb do you use? So my dreads are falling out from root cause it thinned too much and root rubbing isn't working. Is the crochet needle I'm using too big? I've sewn small ones in the front back in. But those were thinning in middle so there was still dread to sew into. So the two in the back that need sewn in cause they fall out don't have dread to sew into cause that new hair length is where it ripped from. How do I sew these back in?

    ivee been trying out backcombing/teeasing my loose roots and it seems to work well with my hair. type 1? but i sort of want to add crochet hook to the process just to clean it up. I initially twist&ripped but i didnt get close enough to the root, so thus why i was trying to backcomb/tease my hair to see if it would help. may 1st was my first month mark though :D
