Absolute truth....so many mofos walking around talking bout they can't stand the frizzies and all that shit and then wanna go run into a salon and have somebody yank their scalp til their shit looking like George Jefferson...smh
roisin culler that’s what dreads are ... matted hair. White people can freeform to but most of us just don’t have the patience because it takes over a year and they still aren’t mature. The sections are random, I’ve seen some very thin ones.
Love this video. I started my locs 3 months ago. I started resisting the roots for the first couple of months but not anymore. I've decided to just keep my hair clean and let it lock on it's own. Thanks for this it was very informative.
they call it freeform bcause...GOD formed and shape your hair ...just like your soul will be closer and u will realize a new level of dis universe...BE a freeformer is not a call for everyone ...but I HAVE DA MOST HIGH RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO HAS THE SEED OF SAMSON IN THEM...THEY R ALL BEEN CALLED BY GOD.... PEACE 2 U .
I started my dreads from regular gel twists & grew them for 8 years & now I been free forming for 4 months & I LOVE IT! I wake up & look like a homeless man some days & it's taking long for the ends to lock but it's totally worth it! No more spending $ on retwists, putting damaging products in my hair, etc. I got my inspiration to free form by Lil Wayne btw 🤘🏾
I'm a white male wit real curly hair and I didn't even try to dread my hair but it has started so I'm taking it all the way!! Found this video awhile ago never go to finish it! Thank you and I'm excited to see how they turn out
Thanks so much....UA-cam can be overwhelming. This is the best vid on the subject, I’ve viewed thus far. “ALLOW vs. make/force”; best tip EVER. (Sticking solely (souly) with you and your channel)
I went about 3 or 4 days without brushing my long ass hair... Wasn't looking forward to brushing it out so I decided to dread it...not knowing about freeform and that my hair has been achieving that.. Thanks for the video and the information. Not gonna brush my hair and just gonna let it dread, since it already is!
Sometimes but to keep them good lookin and maintained keep a little twisted and separate I know cause I stay down South niggas be havin they shit lookin like Bob Marley and Humble Hatian the rapper.
Loved the information you've provided and also your locs are coming along very nicely. Wicks are truly an FL thing and I've seen a couple of them down where I'm live at.
I’m at a year now and they are starting to form. It’s been hard to be patient but I’m all in on my Caucasian free form dreadlocks journey. Thank you for the info. 1 love
Yoooo a few months ago I started freeforming and I got to the point where it started naturally sectioning and I got scared and thought I was going bald and I quit doing it. I’m glad I watched this vid because I can now start again with more information
Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. You asked towards the end you'd hope people such as myself would learn something from this video--well, I did..patience! I'd like to believe I am in the shrinking stage, every time I wash my hair, i'm like okay lets see some growth...I don't see it in the locs, but as you stated, new growth shows healthy hair and that hair has to go somewhere so I'm hoping i'll see some results within some months..it just seems like my hair is not growing at all and its been months! I'll stop where I am, but again, it really is appreciated, the time and effort you spent to make this video come into fruition!
biracial here.... so my hair is like your texture. all kind of a mess lol. lol here... now you tell me... length is best after I cut it! big chop to start locks short. jeeesh. ok not giving up but I'm so ready to lock my hair. guess it'll happen when time is right, till then, I love your videos, thanks for the motivation !! happy new year.
Big ups mon, reppin for the sister locs, I've been loc'd for 5 years now and watching your channel has inspired me to stop twisting and let them grow how they may. Respect ✊🏾
i shaved my had and started after 9 months of growth to not comb anymore, now 6 month into not combing 6 baby dreads have formed and the rest of my hair is completely free from knots.
BASICALLY but you wanna boil 1.5 cups of water, add 1/4 cups of apple cider vinegar. The vinegar breaks down the soap residue. Use this after Bronners. Additionaly boil 1.5 cups of water then add 2 tbsp of baking soda. Use this every other shampoo, rinse with apple cider vinegar.
im half Hispanic half white and my hair is all kinds of funky I started my dreads about a month ago with a rag and everyday for a bout a week or two just rubbed my head and now im freeforming. my dreads are so weird looking but I love em
I’m free forming and taking cold showers I’m on a roll Now all I gotta do is get into healthy eating habits and excercise daily and we will have it all💖💖
My hair freeforming but alot of it is congoing an lockin unevenly should I retwist from the freeform or un twist the locked ones and retwist them with sections
I've started now freeform.. and my sister told me that it would better for me if I use oils to make strong the hair.. she say if not, my hair will start falling.. but the videos that I've seen.. all of the people that have locs says that you only use Shampoo to wash your hair.. no oils! Now what I do??? My hair has an African Texture.. now what to do?! Advices?? Thanks ✌️
Lowkey wanted dreads for ever, and I always thought I had to get them professionally done, thanks to myself for looking up natural ways of getting dreads. I could’ve dreaded my hair so long ago only if I knew 😪
i started my dreads from braids after an afro for a year!! it accelerates the free from dreads!! just whatever you do dont comb your hair when you undo your braids and let your hair fall normally after about a week you will see and be able to feel dreads (if you want to accelerate the dreads don't get your hair wet for a couple of days) :) good luck g
so when you say wash your hair like every 2-3 days can you get it wet or no? like wear a shower cap so they dont get wet? also thanks for the vid appreciate it!!
I’ve been freeforming with only water spritz between washes weekly. I rinse after workouts and it’s starting to look like the bob Marley section pic in the video.
i have straight hair trying to go for a jcole type dreads...how should i start my freeform dreads off?? with a sponge,towel or my hand and dont start from the root?
Shlong Gnong yes you can wet it. Ive washed my dreads even at the first day after i got my dreads because if you dont wash them they will start to mold stink really bad. After they got wet they will be really curly but if you go to sleep it dread up by itself again overnight.
When he says wash your hair, does he mean run it under water or using your hands to wash and fir drying is it a gentle dry with a towel or are you rubbing the towel on your head?
nice video thanks for the tips! I really want my locks to stiffen up so I may try the sea salt rinse. too bad its too cold to go to the beach for the ocean water
so wait. i rock the man bun a lot, will bunning my hair move the knots loose? and will cutting the sides and back mess it up? i'm trying to just dread the top and shave the sides and backs
I need help. I am trying to get freeform dreads and I've been using a curl sponge. I have lightskin hair and it is a little "coarse" should I do crochet method to lock easier
The best part about freeform locs is that they teach you to stop giving a fuck about what people think.
hahaha, they sure do
Weltall sure does! I've been free forming for a year now N my hair is crazy lol but it teach me patience n to accept the journey
Weltall omg I though I was the only who thinks that cuz mines started growing I gave 0 fucks about people's opinion lml it's a good life lesson
Marcellis glad you join the journey
Absolute truth....so many mofos walking around talking bout they can't stand the frizzies and all that shit and then wanna go run into a salon and have somebody yank their scalp til their shit looking like George Jefferson...smh
u know its bad when u have seen all the videos he played in the intro
real reezy LOL yep
Lol same
Yes same
AA•Meko to
Hahaha, literally ALL of those videos. I got mine done by a loctician, but now I'm leaving them to free form.
yoooo! big ups!!
GDG was here 🙏🏾
+Gunther Da Great hah yooo waddup
Gunther Da Great look out for my video
KNOT NATION I'm starting freeform but some pieces of my hair is curling up and shrinking will the same salt shrink the rest faster
Gunther Da Great i
African hair dreads faster because kinks turn to knots faster than curls or straight strands of hairs
roisin culler it does
roisin culler this made 0 sense. Black ppl hair naturally gets matted lol
roisin culler U dont know wtf U talkin bout lol
roisin culler I hate to tell you but white dread up just not as short. My loose hair has to be conditioned and oiled to stop it from form
roisin culler that’s what dreads are ... matted hair. White people can freeform to but most of us just don’t have the patience because it takes over a year and they still aren’t mature. The sections are random, I’ve seen some very thin ones.
"on the Caucasian side of things" LMAOOO
Mann i peep that folk
on gawd lol
Lol
I love that you’re promoting natural way. Any other way defeats the purpose of dreads 💜
Love this video. I started my locs 3 months ago. I started resisting the roots for the first couple of months but not anymore. I've decided to just keep my hair clean and let it lock on it's own. Thanks for this it was very informative.
Wendy Davis
You're the 1st video on UA-cam that properly describes how to get freeform locs and the process.
I’ve watched this video 5 times now just to get motivated to keep going
now 2 years in, how far have you come with your dreads?
@@alspezial2747 I cut them off a few months i ago but I succeeded with my goal and they looked great
@@noel4009 they looked great and you cut them of, why?
@@alspezial2747 everything has to come to an end, I had them for over 2 years and felt like trying something new.
@@noel4009 oh, alright.
thanks for your time.
Actual freeforming makes you look like you lived in the woods your whole life lol
KND Clan why would that be bad ? lol
KND Clan why does it matter to you what OTHER people did to their hair ? If you dont want them or like them then why click this video ?
Nothing wrong living in the woods your whole life
Bruh, im tryna get out of this country and live in the woods. F*** society
KND Clan yahawah and Yahawashi

Been freeforming for a year now. I love it. People think I'm J Cole when they see me out.
oooooo sneak diss on GDG lol
Khalil Ja'von lol
nah no dissing...sponge is the MOST you should do to your hair if freeforming.
KNOTLOCKS I have a high top but still have some fro. Do I sponge that?
Noel C I do
nah just leave it..separate if needed
this is the main reason I cut off my cultivated dreads I've grown for 6 years. I feel like free forms are a better experience
Carlos Mathews They look cooler
You couldve just let them freeform and congro from there
KaySwisz that’s exactly what I’m doing now.
KaySwisz I have a lot of dreads down my neck .. to get free form all I got to do is just wash it ? An let it keep growing
@@mattgeez2245 yeah just let get alot new growth
been freeforming for a week about to start updating you inspire me KNOTLOCKS
Young Locs woah how is your hair like that in damn near 2 weeks?
Young Locs how long was your hair when you started ?
Zey I've been growing my hair for only 6 months so idk really
Dem Dicks light finger twisting speeds the process & I have thick course hair so it stays like that

Gettin freeform dreads is easy all you gotta do is grow dreads and never get a retwist ever again just wash and grow that's all....😏😆
Gibson Callaway u dont even have to twist your hair to dread
Sometimes but to keep them good lookin and maintained keep a little twisted and separate I know cause I stay down South niggas be havin they shit lookin like Bob Marley and Humble Hatian the rapper.
Gibson Callaway you from Miami?
Nope A Town shawty wus good *404* my stomping ground.
YvngRichNigga Were you conditioning your hair?
So your telling me to wake with madded hair where the back and sides are flat, so just walk around like this
This Dude same question I have
i just wet my hair a bit and palm rub it. makes it not so nappy
Yes
Dreads are madded hair so yea
I’m not doing that, i look unbelievably stupid when I wake up , my hair is Madded all around the sides of my head
9:12 this pic reminds me of the alcoholics album cover

the stages of freeform locks looks like the stages of life
I realise that now
i enjoy my journeyyy
Just a question :how long those your hair have to be if you wanna start dreading
i shaved my had and started after 9 months of growth to not comb anymore, now 6 month into not combing 6 baby dreads have formed and the rest of my hair is completely free from knots.
so ur saying all i have to do is use the dr bronners i got once a week and dry my hair and my hair will dread itself?
BASICALLY but you wanna boil 1.5 cups of water, add 1/4 cups of apple cider vinegar. The vinegar breaks down the soap residue. Use this after Bronners. Additionaly boil 1.5 cups of water then add 2 tbsp of baking soda. Use this every other shampoo, rinse with apple cider vinegar.
Most comprehensive free form dreads video that I have seen. Thank you.

+sherkislove420 keep it up its good to see some growth and confidence!
Im just getting free formed untill my dreads reaches my eyes, i dont really like the thick look. I like more sleek/slim locs.
how does your hair look now
@@jaden5843 update?
This is right on time bro bro! Just about to get started on some dreads! People already trying to compare me to J Cole lol
does sea salt water help if your scalp naturally oily scalp?
yeh it will
It will lock you hair faster but it will cause build up in your dreads
I’m free forming and taking cold showers
I’m on a roll
Now all I gotta do is get into healthy eating habits and excercise daily and we will have it all💖💖
Hey KNOTLOCS can you do a "how to" vdeo on how to transition to freeform locs from twisted locs?
Marcus Stanley for real like sombody fucking say something 😭
Ausar Netjer get out all the product and use residue free shampoo you might need to undread it bc too much product
Marcus Stanley bro all you have to do is stop retwisting your hair and just wash your hair don't use any products
I use apple cider vinager and baking soda to wash my hair and it makes my dreads feel so good they are so soft and fluffy feeling
How do you portion the baking soda, acv and lemon juice? Excellent video btw, I learned a lot in just 15 minutes!
My hair locked in 2 months. If there were ever a hair type made for locs it’s 4C hair.
Can I let shower water run on my hair everyday, but without shampoo or touching
My hair freeforming but alot of it is congoing an lockin unevenly should I retwist from the freeform or un twist the locked ones and retwist them with sections
I've started now freeform.. and my sister told me that it would better for me if I use oils to make strong the hair.. she say if not, my hair will start falling.. but the videos that I've seen.. all of the people that have locs says that you only use Shampoo to wash your hair.. no oils!
Now what I do???
My hair has an African Texture.. now what to do?!
Advices?? Thanks ✌️
You don't need it but it can help just use a little.
KNOT NATION danke sehr brother.. one love! ✊️🖤
I wash em once a week Sir, but should I rinse them every morning after waking up from sleep?
Yooo i'm getting dreads with the sponge method and I've been doing it for a month any tips?
What was your routine
do you mix the cider vinager,baking soda and lemon with water or just put them in your hair as is?
I gotta question. Do you wash your hair after using sea salt spray since you said don't leave them in over night? Do you just spray them in or what?
Ian Lee X you spray it in, then wash it out
I used to never take showers that often as a kid but I just learned why my hair started to clump and lock up...
Lowkey wanted dreads for ever, and I always thought I had to get them professionally done, thanks to myself for looking up natural ways of getting dreads.
I could’ve dreaded my hair so long ago only if I knew 😪
lol you added your own clip of interlocking 😂
yeah had to
Knot Nation, can you do a vid on getting starting with braids
i started my dreads from braids after an afro for a year!! it accelerates the free from dreads!! just whatever you do dont comb your hair when you undo your braids and let your hair fall normally after about a week you will see and be able to feel dreads (if you want to accelerate the dreads don't get your hair wet for a couple of days) :) good luck g
So how do I start the dreads
so when you say wash your hair like every 2-3 days can you get it wet or no? like wear a shower cap so they dont get wet? also thanks for the vid appreciate it!!
Been subbed for about a year now n this video has inspired me to restart my dread journey. One love
wicked bro stay loc'd
I just didn't comb my hair for like a year! I'm almost on year two and they are all different sizes.
i started off with free forms
Is it better to use the nonresidue Shampoo or the baking soda cleanse when you first start out?
Would towel twisting be considered free form?
I’ve been freeforming with only water spritz between washes weekly. I rinse after workouts and it’s starting to look like the bob Marley section pic in the video.
revisit j coles dreads
What about if you work out how can I was my hair then ??
i have straight hair trying to go for a jcole type dreads...how should i start my freeform dreads off?? with a sponge,towel or my hand and dont start from the root?
nothing, just dont pick or comb your hair & wash once a week
RACK-CITY_KiNG 00 alright
Does one need other hair products apart from the shampoo... if yes what do you recommend??
started using the sponge about three days ago. really hopin to have locs like yours someday! love the natural look but want them to fall eventually
Should I change the way I sleep so I don’t have to pick out my hair in the morning and untangle it?
Quick question. When using a sea salt spray, should I wash my hair after spraying, or should I spray my hair after a shower? Thanks for the help!
Can i use the sponge? And can i let my hair get wet in the shower?
yeah yeah
MOBB vlogs im saying like wet in the beginning like i just started 2 days ago lol
MOBB vlogs and when i wake up can i just sponge it
Shlong Gnong yes you can wet it. Ive washed my dreads even at the first day after i got my dreads because if you dont wash them they will start to mold stink really bad. After they got wet they will be really curly but if you go to sleep it dread up by itself again overnight.
When he says wash your hair, does he mean run it under water or using your hands to wash and fir drying is it a gentle dry with a towel or are you rubbing the towel on your head?
Wash the scalp not the actual dreads
Thank you so much and do I dry with a towel gently at the beginner stage?
When at the beginning, how do you dry your hair? Is it good to air dry?
nice video thanks for the tips! I really want my locks to stiffen up so I may try the sea salt rinse. too bad its too cold to go to the beach for the ocean water
+Nae Khalifah yeah for sure try the spray let me know how it turns out
Do you still use oil to moisturize?
so can we moisturize while semi freeforming like using coconut oil etc on my baby dreads?
I've been using the dread sponge for about a month now and trying to was my hair once a month.Is that good or no?
Yes
What does he mean by not washing your hair. can I go to the bath room and put water or don't even wet it
Are hats a no for starting to dread?
every time I sleep my hair gets matted down what should I do
deaths revolver wet it and stretch it/rub it so it sticks out
Damn shout out and R.I.P to Fredo Santana at 8:26. I didn’t even know he had free form dreads. His are 🔥
Should i let congo's form? I'm at a stage where there's shrinkage but huge congos are forming.
Yesss please
If u wash your hair when it’s not locked yet won’t it go back to the Afro state?
Nvm
so wait. i rock the man bun a lot, will bunning my hair move the knots loose? and will cutting the sides and back mess it up? i'm trying to just dread the top and shave the sides and backs
What about like when I sleep and my hair messes up?
Same question I have,then I have to pick my hair out
I need help. I am trying to get freeform dreads and I've been using a curl sponge. I have lightskin hair and it is a little "coarse" should I do crochet method to lock easier
so would twisting with my hands & just leaving them alone from there not be recommended? i have straight-ish curly-ish hair. only about 2in
Hey I have a question what if you swear how do you let your hair just grow and dread out like that wont it stink or something
any thoughts on going from a 5 year twist locs to free-forming?
U need to make a video saying what will happen if you got crocheted long straight hair dreads and went freeform
