    Learn how to get dreads with the comb twist method in this Howcast hair video about dreadlocks.
    So I'm going to demonstrate the comb and twist method. The easiest way is to first get your section. First, I'm going to grab some water and once my section is saturated, I'm going to grab my product which is my lock-in gel. I'm going to use my fingertips to go from from the roots all the way to the end. I'm going to do a comb through. I'm not going to use a wide tooth comb and I'm not going to use the small teeth just yet, so I want to be sure I comb all the way through it.
    I'm going to start at the root. I'm going to insert my comb and as the comb goes in, I'm going to start twisting. I'm going to twist and pull down, twist and pull down. There are a lot of different sized combs you can use to do this. I prefer an all-purpose comb. That's one with both sides, two different sized teeth. And as you get to the end, pull it all the way through, and make sure that end is tucked in tight, so it can curl up on its own.
    Then do another section. So I take the the small side of my comb. I'm going to turn and twist, turn and twist and once you start doing it, you won't pay attention to how much you are turning and twisting. It'll all be one full motion. So once I actually do the comb twist from the roots to the end, I may go back and add just a little bit more gel to the root, kind of give it a final twist and that just adds a little more stiffness, a little more staying power, because you have to get it under the dryer. And that is how you do a comb twist.

    1. Don't comb, finger detangle (using combs for starter locs are good, but not for detangling)
    2. Never put Gel, grease, vaseline, etc. on your hair, use oils like extra virgin coconut oil
    3.when detangling, start from the tips to the roots
    4. Do it on freshly washed hair. It shouldn't be dry when starting locs.

    @yeskissed 10 років тому +73

    Why is she combing from the root? Everyone knows you're supposed to detangle the hair first by starting at the ends so you don't create more knots or tangles and rip out someone's hair!

      Plus, because our hair is already naturally course, at least most of us anyway, we don't use the backcomb method which is what you are describing. Now if our hair is permed, yes use the backcomb method

    • @SupremeNerd
      @SupremeNerd 6 років тому +4

      In addition, all of our hair is not the same, some you backcomb most you don't. Some hair lock quickly and others have to interlock

      @SpoiledLocGurl 5 років тому +9

      I don't always come tip to root. Sometimes it's easier for me to comb root to tip. I'm sure the "rules" aren't set in stone for everyone's hair.

    • @geekunique8216
      @geekunique8216 10 років тому +1

      I'd say that they only last a few days to a week, or until you next wash your hair. The way these "dreadlocks" are made aren't actually true dreadlocks, because the gel is the thing holding the hair in place. True dreadlocks are sections of knotted hair, so they stay together by themselves.
      If you're interested in getting true dreadlocks, then look into the free form, back combed, or twist and rip methods. Just know though, that dreads are a commitment (they aren't high maintenance, but take a long time to properly form) so you need to do your research. A good place to start is to look at Lazy Dreads videos here on UA-cam.
      Other short term alternatives to having dreadlocks are synthetic dreads (which you can put in and remove yourself... In fact you can even make your own!) or extensions (which you need to get done at the hairdressers).
      I hope this helps! :)
