    I started mine 2 months ago with comb coils and I'm about to get them retwisted by my mom in a few minutes. She wasn't a fan of me getting dreads at all, but now she's accepting it and I save a bunch of money on retwists.

      Young Moptop I’m using a twist up comb to start mine. Did you use the comb every day or did you just eventually just let them lock up

      My hair is like 3inches long, I started with the Twisting and Gel process when it was around 2 inches. Was easy too, and pretty convient, just had Duck Clips on each Dread until my Hair was dry from the Gel, after like 2hrs later when my hair was dry. Just take out the clips and boom you have a starter lock.
      Didn't was my hair till 2 days later. Nothing special just water and some like massaging, after the wash, put the clips back on one more time so your hair does break up, once they dry once more, taking the clips off gave me nice dreads in the next day when they started to lock on their own after that, I'm niw just gonna let my hair grow and take care of the new growth every 3 months.
      Main this is be careful how you sleep, I usually sleep with a Beanie on now, keeps your hair from being disturbed during sleep in the beginning stages.

      vro im light skinned (middle eastern mixed) and my hair isnt straight, its kinda thick and minimal curly, and it always has a perfect form without me having to do anything but idk what method is the best for me, shall I use twist n rip?

    • @inciteflame1762
      @inciteflame1762 6 років тому +2

    Finger Coiling with Cantu leave in Conditioner and Eco gel with Argan Oil. After a couple of weeks your hair will go from being curly to instantly become thick locks😆

    Twisting with gel does work with curly/ wavy thick Hispanic like hair . i think its the best method even tho they look weird at first they mature and look pretty good

    I’m doin braid locks rn shits working incredibly, I have straight hair to and just wanted all of it to just grow and not have to dread em all threw time. I know it won’t completely dread so Ima lock em up completely soon probably after another month. (Btw if you all didn’t know, it takes a month or 2 for your hair to start dreading) I’ve been taking these in and out for 3-4 months now, last time they started dreading and got scared lol but now I’m committed

    I have strait non curly white people hair and I started with doing freeform, and that worked for the most part except on my bangs (not to mention when I started my hair was down to my shoulders) but after about 2 months I decided to to just back comb it and gel it and it worked fine, it definitely does look like caveman hair and most of the dreads are not cylindrical but it works...
