      Hey! I imagine you can. I’ve seen other people with neglected locks in their beard. I honest play with my beard and comb through it with my hands pretty often, so it never has a chance to lock up, but I’m guessing you can do it if you really don’t touch it.

    You're awesome.I didn't understand exactly what freeforms wore. Im 4 months with my dreads, and they're interlocked. You have similar hair to me, thinking about going semi freeform one day. I love hearing people start their journey. Very inspirational

    Literally the same thing bro, I had short hair n done the rubbing method but now I'm just past a year and I'm doing absolutely nothing but washing it once every week then two weeks in that pattern not putting any products apart from (faith in nature) I'm still waiting for locs but I can see the results coming..I say another year for me 🤘🏻
    And great videos loving the vegan lifestyle 🧘🏻‍♂️

    you are a super beautiful white rastafarian, I loved your vision about all of us living in a jungle climbing trees and eating fruits, I also have a similar vision , with fields of lots of colorful wild flowers reaching shoulders running in those fields, gatherings, rituals, prayers and singers , living together like one family

    Thanks for the video! I got hair to my stomach that I'm just going to leave be. I'm glad you specified how often you _wet_ your hair. Because when people say they go this and this long between "washing" their hair, it's not clear if they mean cleaning the hair specifically or merely taking a shower. I'll keep on showering as much as I like, and maybe sneak in a swim in the fjord while it's still Summer.

    There is one reason to cut your hair that's not social programming and that is for someone else. There are many people that can't grow hair for medical reasons. My hair on top is freeform dreads and everything else is grown to donate. The hair I cut is for someone else and the hair I keep is for myself.

    Do you have any issues with the scalp hair like spiderwebbing and creating a sweaty jungle you can't reach or soothe? And does it stay clean and sweet? Have you ever had a dread you cherished actually snap or break off? I'm trying to decide if I want to manipulate my dreads as they grow at all, basically trying to avoid a spiderwebhead.

    Any tips and alternatives in dealing with itchiness, grease and lice from the beginning? Do you use any natural products like vinegar to prevent it? And how much often do you wash your hair in the first 3 months when you start it

      I only ever parted a really big one I had in the back when I was first starting them.
      I ripped into like 5 smaller locks lol, but the rest of them parted on their own.
