    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 7 років тому +2

    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

  • @matthewgarcia5230
    @matthewgarcia5230 6 років тому +45

    How did you get through rude comments about starting dreads ? Cause a year ago I grew out my man bun out yo where it was shoulder length , and I dreaded it and I guess I didn’t understand the process it has to go through for it to form into a dread and I would get messed up rude comments from people and co workers . I would get embarrassed as if I done it wrong , but I didn’t do it wrong honestly I did what you explained was crochehooking it and palming it . I shaved my head due to their constant harassment and I had a friend who had dreads for years and told me I was doing it right and why did I shave my head and I felt sooooo dumb afterward 😔 oh well I grew out my hair again and looking forward to doing dreads again. Thank you for this video man I just wanted to know how did you get through the stages of dreading with or without rude comments about it .

    • @Oroorel
      @Oroorel 6 років тому +13

      Shouldn't let people get to you. People say what they want to say; Its your job to not let those things throw you off your goal(s). I've been twisting my hair for around 1 a month and a half now and even thoug though it looks silly, I still know it'll look good soon. Just a matter of being patient!

    • @Kysah_VDP
      @Kysah_VDP 6 років тому +4

      if they told you you did it wrong most cases they dont know about dreads at all cause everyone knows if you see hair theat its bunched up but looks bad its the case of have them put in recently and that it takes time to mature and in my image i see dreads something to experience to show the people you put into it cause its a different way and a creative feeling you get when you do new things
