Oh, you could try recreating some historical hairstyles. Like, in ancient Greece and ancient Rome they would literally sew their hair into elaborate hairstyles using thread and a blunt needle. For example, you could try recreating Cleopatra's go-to hairstyle (google "Cleopatra Vatican bust" - it's basically a bunch of twists going along the scalp and culminating in a bun that incorporates her diadem which would've been a white cloth headband). Or for sh really over the top, you could look at Flavian hairstyles. But keep in mind that Greek and Roman hairstyles generally work best on curly/textured hair cause it has more grip (plus they often just look better/more authentic on curly hair).
Love this idea!!
+1!!!! Love the idea!
I absolutely love that you mention the history of the style. Because hair has so much history and facts and literally is so fascinating to me. ❤
Yes! Thank you!
@StellaCini omg, thank you for the reply, big fan. I also love your content, I love how you express your feelings about hair and how if you want to change it. Then do it, it's just hair, and it's awesome way to be creative. 🥰
I hope the viewers take this content for what it is, education, exploration, and respect. If we are not allowed to learn and discover we will remain ignorant to the beauty of one another.
I love how you did dread locks on the rose gold or pink wig. Very Stella
It turned out stunning! I'm dealing with alopecia (AGA) as well as chronic illnesses and I would love for you to post tips on quick and easy wigs wearing, it seems like too much work.
I would love this as well!
Soon Daniel is going to become a full blown hairstylist with how many times he's helped you on the channel!😊
This is giving “Gone in 60 Seconds” and I love it! 😍
I think this is one of the best looks I've seen on you, up there with the emerald hair. I LOOOVE IT. great job ❤
I love love LOVE that you’re educating your audience! ❤ 2:52 also one point I want to make is Chloe & Halle have had dreadlocks/locs since childhood! Very natural for them and have been beautifully styled in various ways!
I loved this! It was great that you did your makeup and entire look. Old Stella has got her groove back!
I agree! I miss the educational aspect, the historian, and tutorial type ...the caring, nurturing, mama Stella 😂😂😂
Yay! Thank you!
I loved this! As a former dreadhead myself i loved the way you described just letting the hair do it's own thing. That was one thing I loved most about having locs. I had mine for four years before brushing them out. It took me a month straight to brush them out, but my hair was SO healthy afterwards. I will say, if I ever dread my hair again, i will be shaving my head to get rid of them rather than brush them out. Never brushing dreads out again!
Hahah god bless you for brushing them out! I can imagine it taking a while but having it all brushed out must have felt insane! Can I ask if you used a comb or a brush to detangle them?
I used a comb and coconut oil rubbed on the ends to detangle! I had minimal breakage but SO much loose hair came out!
Thanks for going into the history of this unique hairstyle!
Amazing Granger look. I was seriously not expecting this😮😮
This video was so unexpected! I think that dreadlocs are not for everybody and you made a great job, thank you for this gorgeous glamorous style)
Love it! Kinda wish I had someone like you to help me do mine. I’m currently just over 3 years in and love them.
Ooooh I love this!! You should do more into the history of certain styles and replicate them! 😊
That's the plan!
Hey Stella! As a fellow cosmologist, I’m excited to see that you gave dreads a try! I owned a dreadlock business for a decade, and I also had dreadlocks for 11 years. There’s a ton I’d like to say, but I’ll keep it short. ⬇️
▪️WASHING DREADS:
- Once a week.
- I use Amica shampoo, and scrub under every dread at the scalp. Once I’ve rinsed it out, I shampoo again but this time I squeeze the shampoo into the top 4-6 inches of my roots, and massage each dread. (I love Amica’s formula because they leave the hair feeling extra clean but not stripped, and there’s no residue.) Rinse again, gently squeeze out the water, and you’re done!
▪️THE DREADS THEMSELVES:
- You did well for your first try! I’m impressed! I’ve done dread wigs for over a decade and a half, and I still hate the scalp issues that come with the nature of wigs!
- The palm roll technique you showed your gentlemen friend was half right, but I’d love to show you how to do so properly.
- The crochet method you were using is rather ineffective, and not going to let the hair “settle” and dread naturally. When you create dreadlocks with a crochet hook, you need to get inside the dread (parallel), and pull from the bottom going up towards the scalp. This will allow hairs to mingle in a much more natural way, and will allow the cuticle of the hair strands to do their job, and lock up. (The cuticle of the hair strand is similar to shingles on a roof. Take a gander at Google! Because of this, the hairs lock together nicely with friction.)
▪️SECTIONING:
- You did pretty well, but I prefer a curved, scalloped bricklayer style. It makes it much more manageable, comfortable, and lays prettier.
▪️THE HISTORY:
- As you said, there’s SO much more to cover! I’ve got a ton of historical documents and articles I’d love to send if you’re ever curious.
⚜️All in all, pretty good! I love that color and the way you rock those dreads! I hope you’ll do another one someday. Perhaps with a hand from an interested dreadlock artist who enjoys hair as much as you? 😉 If you’d like to collab someday, I’m here on Insta:

🖤🤘🏻 Much love to you and yours!

This is arguably your video that I like the best, because it pushed you outside of your norm. I hope to see more alternative/punk/rock kind of hairstyles from you. It’s so refreshing and you look badass in that pink dreadlock!!!
I absolutely love your videos and I am so happy you choose to do this video specifically ♥️♥️ I’ve had wool braid in dreadlocks a couple times before and I absolutely loved them! I love that you really did some research and credited the people you learned from 😊 I believe cultural appreciation is a great way to describe this video 🥰🥰
I wanna see Stella try dreadlock extensions. There's many ways to braid them in and it's perfect for obtaining dreads but also can be taken out when you eventually wanna run your hands through your hair again
I love seeing the make up part along with the hair and just listening to your thoughts as you go💛💛
This might be my favorite style you've done, you pull them off so well!!!
Hi love, I just want to start off by saying i don't see this cultural appropriation. I do just want to state some things. Though they can be used as a protective style. There are MULTIPLE reasons why people get locs. For starters, most people have turned to the word locs. Because there's nothing "dreadful" about them. I started my locs to teach myself patience. Others it's show of respect, esthetic, etc. For those with straight hair, it has to be matted to get the form. I started my locs with twists and just washed my hair. I do appreciate you telling us to do more research. You were also informative on what you've read. But they can be washed and conditioned like any other hair. You just make sure there's no residual product to cause build up.
Love love LOVE that you took the time to research on this hairstyle, this goes to show how you can learn and appreciate things that originated in various other cultures or even lifestyles in a deep and meaningful way, dreadlocks are often misunderstood and considered dirty and careless but they have much more meaning! Love this video
It’s got such a rich history, I barely touched the surface of it 😍
Wow I actually had no idea about its history and perhaps naively thought it would have originated in the Caribbean- loving the albino dread look
Captain Jack Sparrow has them 😀
I also was unaware of the difference between dreadlocks and locs! I love hearing about the history.
Oh my goodness!! This is your look! It's like an iconic movie character!
This is appreciation, not appropriation. Some of you in these comments either didn’t watch the entire video or are just looking to start 💩 where there isn’t any.
To the one person (at the time of me writing this) who announced their departure, that’s a personal choice that you don’t have to announce to a creator. You can just leave, silently.
As a WOC myself, I didn’t see anything but appreciation in this video and I don’t see anything wrong with anyone appreciating facets of races outside of their own. When you know the history of where something comes from and tag/differ to others more knowledgeable than you, that’s nothing but love!
Hi love, I don't know how you do it, but you manage to rock every style. The history of hair styles is very interesting and thank you for pointing out to your followers to do reseach on it. Some people take that history very seriously (is not just hair for them) so for someone who is passionate about hair I want to be respectful and I did some research on several hair styles that is fascinating. I personally love the chameleon mentality of trying everything and anything. Thank you for sharing your experiencess. ❤
For many people, hair is rarely just hair. Dreadlocks go back so many years, it had to be mentioned
Thanks Stella, I have been wondering about the history of dreadlocks and how they are done.
You are doing your own wig line? Omg that is fantastic news!!!!
Thank you for sharing the history and sharing some dreadlock influencers in your description
wow this was so informative! Could you please please do more videos about hair history and historical hair throughout the world?
That was stunning and suits you so well between the style messiness color and makeup!
Please Stella, wheh your hair grows back, can you try synthetic dreadlocks? It's less time consuming if you buy it already done and it's really fun because you can combine lots of colours!
I LOVE the look of dreads. I find them so pretty. Even This look made you look more of Hollywood’s version of a viking lol
😍
Love this video! I’ve had natural dreads for a few years now, and have hair similar to that wig. I’ve always used the back combing/crochet method! As far as maintenance goes, I crochet the roots every few months. It’s the easiest method I’ve found with my hair type and the most effective!
I also wash my hair with residue free shampoo once a week, and deep cleanse with baking soda and ACV every few months.
I have super fine curly hair and when it's long enough, I absolutely can tie it into a knot on my head and it stays. It has just enough curl and dryness to stay put for a long time.
I miss mine. I did them around 2014. They’re beautiful.
I love dreadlocks, the history of this hairstyle is just amazing plus it looks good ! Thank you for giving it justice and share some incredible black content creators
I think she looks beautiful as always❤..it kinda reminds me of when Angelina Jolie had her hair twisted in Gone in 60 Seconds
Always loved the look of dreads ❤
Finally ❤❤❤!!!!!! Yes!
I have dreads. Natural grey/ash to my butt 😊 started with a pixie 6 yrs ago.
Peace everyone!
I wash every 2 wks during winter as needed in summer.
No conditioner unless it's for dreads.
I use a clarifying shampoo.
Exfoliate during shampoo with your choice of tools.
Any questions, please ask
😊
I have a quick question I want dreads so bad I use to wear them when I was younger and miss it so much however few months ago my 17yr old niece (white girl) got jumped by some black girls for having dreads they ripped 2 of them out said she’s white therefore can’t wear dreads this incident did a lot of damage to her both physically/emotionally!!! I was shocked I didn’t know this was a thing!! I want dreads but now I dnt know if I should or not…What do u think is it ok or not..
@@angelinacarraway3576Don’t do that. Victimizing yourself over a hairstyle that you didn’t have to have laws for. Now I’m sorry about what happened to her. It was disgusting, but you’re obviously trying to make us look bad. You will never be oppressed. We’ve had far more worse things happen to us just because a skin color we cannot change.
@@kjones92please please stop you are not oppressed in this country the United States or Europe you have every opportunity and cannot say you don't, no ones color is holding them back you can president if you want too, I think it's sad to try to say because of skin color you can't accomplish something because that's the biggest cop out lie, stop using what happened 400 years ago for today im Greek and my people were slaughtered in Europe by Ottoman empire do you think I go around telling people oppressed for what happened 100s of years ago No because that would sound bizarre, no one is held back from anything by the color of their skin period.
@@kjones92 oh shut up already
@@one_batch_two_batch Telling someone to shut up on a public video on the internet is the dumbest shit I’ve seen. Think you can make me shut up? Oh you can’t you hippo. 😂
Nice job!! Thanks also for the history lesson. I loved it!
Absolutely stunning!!!
Wow! That style and hair colour really suits you! 💕
i was having a bad day and watching ur vids always cheers me up :) love ur work
Happy to help!
now i'm no historian, but my theory is that dreads is from everywhere! as a white long blonde straight haired who dosent always take the best care of my hair, i often get a dread or two against my will in a matter of like a single week. when it goes like oily-dry and catch a bit of filth it start tangling and things go real quick and i have to spend hours of brush work.. so if u live in a time before brushes and sciccors, i think anybody would end up with some kind of "lock",
Yes Stella! Loved this video! I'm a synthetic dreads stylist for temporary dreads, maybe thats fun to look into also! 🙌🏻
I’ve never tried synthetic, I’ll add to the list of things to try this year!
Many, many influencers pit up videos about Kaleidos. That is how I was first introduced 5 years ago. Heck, a popular Influencer did a collaboration eyeshadow palette with them.
I LOVE this look on you. The hair looks great, and the make up is so pretty. Though I really loved the hair on you before the make up. So maybe a no make up make up look next time 😊
Beautiful result
I loved this video so much, it was so well done and entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It looks so great on you! I have to copy the color though! Fantastic make over, and yes, I use nyx still 😂❤
Thank you!!
I love that you talked about the history ❤
They look so good especially with that color!❤
ughhhh I just love dreadlocks. always have. I do find them way prettier with a lighter color though, which is why I cannot convince myself do have some, as my color of hair that actually compliments me is a very dark brown.
some of my childhood stars from Cris Morena's teen telenovelas had dreadlocks. Marizza from Rebelde Way had red ones which complimented her and her personality amazingly, and Emilia Atias from Casi Angeles was simply stunning wearing her long bleached locks. stunning!!!!!
Ugh now I want dreadlocks. They looked gorgeous on you
it looks so good. And the color is very beautifull.
It’s my favorite color!
This looks so good. I would expect to see this in a movie on the most badass character.
My boyfriend has had his locks now more then 10 years, idk what he looks like without them.
Beautiful, really really beautiful !
You should have added some synthetic hair that matches so the dreads can be thicker and it may help them lock better
I love it, I'm happy you're trying new hairstyles
Let’s hope there won’t be any complaints about her “culture appropriating”
😂
Oh hush with this ignorant comment.
Usually the people who do hairstyles that are worn typically by black people or people of color in general don't give credit or do research, which Stella did.
@@andreeaLnedelea even when they do they still get hate…
@@andreeaLnedelea I think even that is a silly expectation to have, though. Black people don't own the concept of dreadlocks. Even if she hadn't mentioned any research or historical context, it wouldn't be an issue.
you could do dreadlock extensions on your hair. You just braid them into your hair. You can put them in one day and take them out the same day if you want. temporary and fun in my opinion. Plus they don't take 3 days to do lol
Omg love the look n have missed u doing ur makeup into your videos xx
Stella: "I really wish you could speak right now" Me: "The hoops, the hoops" 😂😂. But seriously It looks sooo good 😍🔥🔥, I love dreadlocks!
Hahaha sometimes I really do wish you could send your reactions in real time!
@@StellaCini I totally agree, that would be very cool 😁
What type of wig did you start out with? Hand-tied? Looking for suggestions to try this myself. You look amazing with dreads! Love the rose gold color! Totally inspired me!
omfg I love how the wig turned out! Why do I want dreads now? 🤣🤣The wig color and style specifically reminds me of Jadis from Narnia and I love it!
Please do festival dreads! Omg pllllllllzzzzzzz! Just once that's all I'm asking ❤️ colorful spontaneity and accessories 😍
Noted!
There's a handheld device that can do dreads in 30 second per stand! Look into get it, because you can make this wig look even better by using that machine to tighten the dreadlocks! Looks amazing but could be even better!
Love this look
dog bark at 14:21 made me jump 😅
Sorry!
This made me remember how low maintenance dreadlocks are… It’s the best hair style I’ve had but I’m too afraid that people would judge me if I got them now
It certainly felt like it - I can imagine it taking very little time to style and maintain
I love this look.
Thank you!
Omg, this is so beautiful
😍
Wow, looks awesome!!!
The cheek heart is giving Electra Heart
Looks so good 😍👍🏾
Okay but you look STUNNING with these. Will you be selling wigs with dreads??
It wasn’t on the agenda…would you buy one??
I want one of your mirror brushes so bad, but I could never afford one
Looks fab 😊
Looks so cool
😍
What lipstick did you use? I'm always searching for a really dark color like that.
This is from kaleidos makeup
You should try dreadlock extensions so that way you can try it on your own hair
I've seen people from literally every race and culture bleach their hair blonde and no one complains about it or accuses them of culture appropriation. So dreads should be as equally acceptable. Do what makes you feel beautiful!
Can i get this on a synthetic wig?? Like a video? Because i wanna do this but i dont wanna ruin a $100+ human hair
I love the end result! 🌸 But even if you are going to release your own line of wigs, it would be appreciated to see the credit for the wig you used in this video. After all, it is the main character here.
Hahah this wig is a tester and not one of the ones I’m releasing first - gotta make sure everything is perfect first. The first collection will be…vibrant ✨
Where did you get this blond wig? I want to get one and do the locks too! It looks beautiful.
This was a sample for my wig line - I’m playing around with a few different colors
She has a cristina aguilera vive on this video, like the early 2000's cristina aguilera looks, it looks really pretty
😍😍
I’d like to see a nice Viking hairstyle 🫶🏻
That’s a ponytail knot or a simple three strand braid.
Beads would make it look so cool!
Definitely!
Wow they look gorgeous on you 😍
Girl, ''hiding your face because you have no make up on'? You are stunning with and without make up!
Here for the comments 🍿 😂
What comments? The Angry black folk comments? Oh, right.
@@kjones92 no
Does she wear contacts her eyes are always so vibrant ?!
Yes - always TTDeye lenses!
thats a great look for you
Is that your real eyes color . Your eyes are gorgeous ❤
omg you look beautiful with these
