Hey man, grateful to have found your stuff. I like your energy and willingness to share your expertise. I also appreciate your ability to explain these processes! I am 5 years into my journey, very similar hair type and locs to yourself too. Also a skateboarder and musician! Nice to have found someone else like me! Keep doin your thing Cheyne!
Right on!! Stoked you stumbled upon as well! Just barely not even a year into learning or even filming, so I’m thankful to know it’s still finding delivery to people! 🙌 I haven’t quite caught a full flow with it, as it’s creativity, so it comes on more when I’m doing more other creative things. Which makes it hard to wanna have a camera in hand… pulls from the actual Experience… so I’m finding where that sits for me still.
@@locdoctorfell Hey bro, thanks for your reply. You're great. Keep it up. Quick question - I came across this video and I am mindblown by how easy and fast this method seems to be, could you watch it and let me know what you think? I'm curious to know what someone with your knowledge thinks about the pros and cons of this method, because I've never seen it before and it seems pretty legit! ua-cam.com/video/JqRLQ8Sh6GQ/v-deo.html
@@locdoctorfell Haha all good man! I understand. It's just a link to another UA-cam video I stumbled upon with a nice lady demonstrating a locking technique I had never seen/heard of until now. Looks really good and just wanted to see what you thought as you seem to understand hair/locs really well! No pressure. (I would have messaged you btw but I don't know how I'd do that on here)
Yeah man, I dig the brush platform idea. I do all mine in my hands. Might try something like that at some point.(for building extensions) The more hooks the more aggressive and less control over broken hair. So, for me, it’s very similar to using a triple hook for prep building extensions. She definitely has a cool little set up.
Your dreads look so nice. I am only doing synthetic extensions right now, but considering making the plunge to dreadlocks on my actual hair. I appreciate all the info!
Hell yeah! I think that’s a natural progression for most. There’s a difference in appearance for sure. There’s a lot that happens in a loc journey. And I don’t think we get that same perspective or personal growth from “a style” The cultivation of locs takes time and patience and we get something beautifully critical in there… somehow. There’s an ego death that comes in there too. Either way, have a beautiful journey.
Great video!! I have only one negative - the music setting is a little loud, where it’s sometimes hard to hear what you’re saying. Otherwise, I love it! Very informational for a newly dreadlocked person. Keep it coming!
It absolutely helped, especially with the latch hook. I have had lots of long hair fall out and I can for sure see the benefit of the latch hook. My locks are only three months old and I've watched other videos of yours which helped me tons. I think this will be the final answer so that I don't have to keep running to my loctician. I really appreciate this!!!❤
@@locdoctorfell Oh, what was the oil you used? Sorry I'm hard of hearing. I've been using Jojoba oil but if the oil you use is better I'd be interested. Thank you!
Awesomeness! I need to do maintenance soon anyway, I’ll make something there. Proper and preference are two different things. There’s a few things you “don’t want to do” more than I think there’s a best way. Kinda like I don’t think I’ve ever mown a lawn “proper” or vacuumed the right way… I pull hairs through in the direction the loc spirals (as that’s the goal either way, to keep the hair growing in that loc) Then I root rub a lot. I also am not using a pointed latch hook on my own locs, and I personally am doing (mostly) only hand manipulation maintenance on myself going forward. Point is, I combine latch hooking loose hairs into the base and then root rubbing each loc
Bahaha! I could have spaced it out like that. Probably would have been much more effective as far as getting tired and messing up the angle and stabbing my fingers.🤣
I love how you educate, however the music is very distracting and it sorta randomly comes in and out whenever, when your at uni or college the educator doesn't have music going on in the backroundd when teaching. It's OK to have it when speeding film or not talking. etc. be confident in your voice alone, look forward to more vids 😊
That's a very clean mirror
I doubt if the mirrors are super clean … except Tuesdays 😹

Hey man! I didn’t realize you’d responded here. Also, I’m not sure what method you speak of, and am a weirdo about clicking on things…

I appreciate that. And I’m getting better with the sound. It’s been a thing for me🤣

It’s Aveda “sham pure”
@@locdoctorfell Thank you so much. I'll check into getting some.😁
Thank you for sharing, I have a lot to learn!😁
Same here! So much to learn! I’m geeking out on protecting the hair more (the reason for the style, essentially)
Thank my man begging my loc journey soon.
Hell yeah!!! Loc on!
I would love to know the proper way to use a latch hook. I have watched 800K crochet videos but nothing really good on latch hooking. thanks!

Thankyou but can u do close ups of what your doing with the latch hook tnx
@@kzee4281 heck yeah! Thank you for the reminder! Guess what I’m filming today!!
Can you show how to install synthetic dreads loosely to help prevent tension bumps on sensitive scalps/skin?
I don’t generally install synthetics.
I’m on my third year love the journey thank u for the teachings
Heck yeah! Right on!
hey 🤩thanks for the how to
Heck yeah!!! Glad you got some out of it!
five hours would be a dream. im more like 5 business days lol
Bahaha! I could have spaced it out like that. Probably would have been much more effective as far as getting tired and messing up the angle and stabbing my fingers.🤣
I'm a white guy too & have had dreads for 20+ years yet I'm well jealous of yours bro.Respects ✌️
Thanks homie! Keep on loc’ing and glad to be acquainted

Heck yeah! I’m glad to have you along for the journey. Definitely a thing with my own voice. I’ll get over it
