- Learn how I maintain dreadlocks. I take you through my step by step process in lots of detail to achieve neat and tidy locks.
I am using a 0.6mm Clover Amour Soft Touch crochet hook in this video which you can buy here. www.elementall...
In the hundreds of videos I have watched on loc maintenance, this video had been the most clearly shown video and explained one so far. Thank you for taking the time to show us your work. Pretty please make some more videos on starter locs and extension installs :)
Thank you so much. I'll make some more asap! Until then if you visit my website www.elementallocks.co.uk you will see a few in person workshops that i am teaching if you're in the UK. I'll be converting them into online courses soon :-)
I was thinking the same thing!
Best video for loc maintenance!! I went through so many before finding this one. Almost lost hope but so glad I didn’t! Thank you!!
I thought it was just me until I came to the comment section but I have 4 months been looking into touching up my locks at home. This was the first video to actually show me step-by-step what I need to do.
Just wish I could see the back of my head
Could you set up two mirrors behind and in front of you to help you see what you are doing? x
I have watched millions of videos for caucasian hair Locs and how to maintain and this is the best video l have ever seen thank you soo much.
You're very welcome! Please let me know if you have any requests for the next one x
it helps when you explaining how to hold with fingers and pull, pinch. Thank you from afar way from where you are!!! ive spent alot of time researching and getting to know all the different techniques that you can create with synthetic hair, and wool dread making. Crochet is my fav. but where im at, when i started this "journey", there was no loctician around, hundreds of miles, that knew of the crochet dreading technq. When the love of this art for my hair I figured out how to do, i became a mad woman with synths, extensions, colours,wool accents.The way my hair is NOBODY that lives around me, would ever wear, doesnt see dreads in this way. People do compliment, but unless I know your TRULY interested in my dread style im not going to waste my breath explaining ANYTHING!!! THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS hair stinking and dirty and whatever else negative. omfg!! i swear. Im actually glad though that crochet technique was mentioned in the dread style (morgin riley with the long red dreads). Im just glad i didnt go to someone who would have put product in my hair and done it a way that i wouldnt have liked. This alllll started in december 2017. i follow you and others on instagram, and in the 5 years i know quite alot. You and several others=OG LOCTITION QUEENS!!= I definetly look up to and appreciate everything that yous put out there for people like me to learn and watch so I can incorporate into my own technq. SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!!
Thanks for sharing a slow and visible version of what is happening with the crochet hook! Look forward to your future vids.
You're very welcome. Working on the next one :-) x
Wow this video is the best so far!!! Thank you 🙏🏽
What size Crochet hook would you recommend?
That size of hook are using> and where can I buy the same hooks u use? 🙏🏻
Hey! This is a 0.6 Clover Amour hook and its been my favourite for a long time. I am selling them on my website here www.elementallocks.co.uk/product/clover-amour-crochet-hook-0-60mm
Im bout to cut my locs shorter but i want to blunt the tips off with the crochet hook, how would i do it like after i trim my locs do i fold the tip up into the loc n crochet or do i just start picking at the cut part until it gets tight?
BEST video I have watched on this so far, and I have watched so so so many. Lol THANK YOU!
This was so helpful!! Thank you so much for posting this how-to!!
Useful one ❤️ hope you make more videos
Thank you for this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😮❤❤❤❤
Awesome tutorial. Thank you. But how did the mannequin’s hair grow out?
Hey Barbara. Thank you. For demonstrations I loosen and unpick the roots to imitate the look and texture of grown out roots. I loosely crochet the roots together to mimic how they naturally join at the roots over time when left :-)
That was the clearest tutorial I’ve seen yet, it’s doing the back of my head that is tricky for me!
Brilliant tutorial thank you
Pants just ordered the crochet hooks so looks like I'll be kept busy during lock down :D
Thanks for the video x
This Video is amazing. I just search soon a while for these kind of videos, everyone : Put the fingers so and just pick it so (fast move. Can't see what they do) ... But you show it slow, that's amazing. I made synthetic dreads, that's why I search these kind.
Thanks you!!! ❤️
So glad you found it helpful darling xx

I am trying to learn how to do a root maintenance on myself and its been two years i have no experience my hair is thin and i have 37 dreads total i wore my hair up in a bun a lot and now it looks like the front dreads are little tootsie rolls lol. please help i will send pics if you'd like to get a better visual of my dreads. I did have them professionally done in the beginning so they are locked for sure!
You are a great educator. I have learned so much and can correct some things in my process when working on my own dreads.
Is your crotchet hook up or down? I feel like I've been doing mine wrong this whole time!
