THANK YOU!!! Best and most INFORMATIVE video on Dreadlock/extensions that I have yet seen. Not a bunch of "talking" just SHOWING US HOW to do it!! You are GREAT!!
OMG I've been looking for something this in-depth using SE dreads for at least 3 weeks, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this awesome vid and for sharing your knowledge with those of us that are just beginning our own "dreadlock journey". You just made a fan for life.
Hi again, when you have time I’ve a few questions about the dreads ~ I’ve put in comments above. My b/f’s sister makes bath bombs, soap where you don’t need to apply cream after ( been a godsend with all the Coronavirus washing hands so often ) wax melts and all sorts of things with natural ingredients. I’ve applied a sea salt scrub with baby oil & then again with moisturiser to prepare my scalp. It’s made a huge difference already, the lumps I had have decreased & my scalp feels really good. I’ll have to send you some samples because they may be helpful to you. Please have a look at questions because this is for life now. I’m so happy to find you ~ other people never seemed to mention that I could carry on dreads with my natural hair growth. You are amazing. 🧚🏼♀️❤️🧚🏼♀️
@@betsy_braids I will do ~ gonna try get some sleep now, need to set up mirrors so I can section ~ my b/f has been very naughty and horrible so I ain’t asking him to do anything. 😂. 🧚🏼♀️💪🏼💯🙏💯💪🏼🧚🏼♀️
I’ve mastered the art of joining extensions ( what do you think about twist & rip method? ) what do I do as my hair grows please? I love dreads so much. I’ve put them in then out because I don’t get help to section properly & neatly & I didn’t really like it like that ~ it needs law & order!!! I had a bad time with scalp, I’ve still got lumps on my head so what sort of product did you use along bases that will probably be the best thing I need to avoid any more lumps. The music is brilliant ~ don’t make it mute, you don’t need speak so why people can’t just press mute button is daft!!!
Jaq Watson thank you for the love. Come see me and I’ll help you. I’m in San Francisco, CA. When I do my own hair I use two mirrors so I can see the back. Don’t get discouraged nobody looks at the back like that anyways. The bumps are probably from too much tension or if you use any products... that can cause dryness and irritation. I wish I could help you. I would suggest tea tree shampoo and make sure you oil with grapeseed oil find me on Instagram @betsy_braids
I’d love to come & see you but I’m in Lancashire England & my local area is on lockdown again coz our Government are absolutely dog shit. All private education, qualifications coming out their ears but no common sense or idea of “real life”!!! Anyway I can’t afford a renewal passport so the air fare isn’t gonna happen 😂. Thank you so much for quick reply. I honestly just couldn’t find anything about the new hair growth & how to keep them looking good. It’s gonna take a long time but I have wanted them for years but my job back then wasn’t keen on my piercings so hair would have been a no go area. I’m now full time ill with Fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease in spine & lots and lots more of problems but I’m still breathing ~ that will do for me. I was gifted a meditation cushion by a lady I met at a festival. She loved my hair so I removed 1 of my locks & installed it in her hair. I get a lot of use from the cushion whilst installing because of the fatigue part of Fibro. You have helped me so much ~ what a wonderful being you are. 🧚🏼♀️⭐️🧚🏼♀️.
@@betsy_braids hi there, I have no idea what time it is over there, I have learnt so much from you, I’m so happy to find you. I was gutted coz I thought I’d have to uninstall every time my hair grew. I’m very excited about my new mission. 🤩
I wanna see a video on the maitnence though, like isn’t it gonna look weird when u do the roots again and it’s skinny? Because her sections of hair are too thin VS the extensions?
Interesting. I have fine, straight hair. I'm African American. Would a loctition generally use fine hair for natural looking locs on my type of hair? And does that make it lighter on thin, fine hair?
How thick do the sections need to be? My husband has extremely thin hair. We’re about to put in synthetic dreads and I love the way you’ve done it but I’m worried that the base would be way too thin compared to the loc because of how thin his hair is. I’m also worried it would break with that much damage being done to the base. What’s your opinion on this? BTW LOOOVE the music, your mad skills and the video. I’m a Bay Area brat myself 😝 (San Jose)
I think more so the problem is that from the first second it blasts your eardrums out its way to loud if you wouldve started it out a little quieter and then increase yea i muted it but it literally starts as soon as the video so its still annoying and blows your eardrums maybe not everyone likes the same music as you and dont want their ears bleeding first thing 🤷
Hey just a friendly comment Kay Cassie I just wanted to let you know that these are not locks. These are dreadlocks. This does not have to be a quote unquote racist term because that is a very very racist term in itself to say that that's a racist term for name to use. It's not politically correct to say locks because locs and dreadlocks are two different things and let me just say some of the most beautiful men in the world are African American and I am Polish. I've had both in my hair many times. Locs are wrapping the hair around dreadlocks are knotting and teasing hair. Now, it is not a racist term to use dreadlocks because African Americans actually were not the first people to have these they were actually done before Greek warriors went into fight and then they would put colors such as red in organic paints that they need from plants obviously to show that they had been successful for spilled blood because war has always been part of our culture unfortunately and that's just a matter of opinion. But African Americans were not the first again to have dreadlocks so it's not a racist term being that the first or actually Greeks So, kind of cool if you look up some information. It's obviously great to be educated. The only way to achieve real knowledge is by doubting everything you know to be true to let in new information which in turn is real knowledge.
@@betsy_braids could I instant lock my real hair all the way down then leave a little piece out and add the extensions or instant lock my real hair completely then add the extensions or no ?
Myra 's 2Blėssėd2BEEStrëssëd lol you’re not the only one. I really like ska and I want people to discover the band. That’s okay maybe I should just start muting cuz The copyrights and stuff. Thank you for watching queen
Did you know the Mayans wore locs in their murals? Foreigners hated them. Hence, dreadlocks. Makes you wonder who the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs are today.

Is the extension human or synthetic? Would it work with synthetic?
Best video so far on UA-cam for str8 dreads clear vision video
Thank you so much 🤞
Im confused what were you doing at 5:22 before you cut the dread? Also They Look Great
Hey I oiled the scalp. I cut the top of the extensions because it was meant for crochet or temporary. These are permanent.. it can be combed out tho
@@betsy_braids thats genius just noticed what you did thank you
This Was Exactly What I Needed,☺️! Thank You!!!

Jaq Watson twist and rip sucks. Not only does it take 100000 times longer but they are super loose

I wanna see a video on the maitnence though, like isn’t it gonna look weird when u do the roots again and it’s skinny? Because her sections of hair are too thin VS the extensions?
That’s why I crocheted her natural hair first. I attached them closely so they won’t loosen up or slip off even if she washes her hair everyday.
Do you have a video on how to install extensions of a different color?
I don’t but it’s the same thing. Make sure the hair is dyed the same color as the dreads.
Very helpful and informative! Thank you so much!
Hello where did you get the loc extensions from did you made them out of straight hair or kinky hair ?
In the video they were premade from Etsy. For straight hair tho I get a straight hair weave and make it into locs. It’s on my Instagram @betsy_braids
Interesting. I have fine, straight hair. I'm African American. Would a loctition generally use fine hair for natural looking locs on my type of hair? And does that make it lighter on thin, fine hair?

Hey gurlllll. I suggest doing one single braid.. if that braid feels as thick as the synthetic dread go for it… how long is his natural hair ?
Best video I have seen!
Thank you 🙏
this was literary the worst and most distracting background music I've heard so far
Dubai Influencers lmao wow y’all really hate ska music. Did you have trouble finding how to mute it ?
@@betsy_braids Ppl that can't dance usually hate intensely energetic music such as this...it only serves as a reminder of their inability.
I think more so the problem is that from the first second it blasts your eardrums out its way to loud if you wouldve started it out a little quieter and then increase yea i muted it but it literally starts as soon as the video so its still annoying and blows your eardrums maybe not everyone likes the same music as you and dont want their ears bleeding first thing 🤷
@@onixpanda13 LMFAOOOOO it starts off gently and then gets faster...
Comment Section Getting Toxic 😂😂😂
How long did it take to do one ?
Good day! What is the purpose of the oil that you put in the extention?
Hey! I oil the roots with tea tree oil because it’s exposed... with that the scalp will dry out and get flaky.
I do have one question...as the loc is growing would it be significantly skinnier seeing as there is the extension attached?
If the person doing the maintenance does it improperly it can thin out and break. Same if the person wearing them lacks maintenance

How many dreads i should have?
how many millimeters should the crochet be?
This one in the video is 0.60mm
Hey new growth will be straight tho???
The new growth yes. You’ll have to keep up with the maintenance as you would without the extensions
Hi, how much for this service.
Thank you.
Hi it depends. Are you providing the extensions? In San Francisco the cost of living is high....
@@danniebucks3230 send me a message or text me 415-525-6933 don’t low ball yourself it’s a lot of work
@@betsy_braids okay thank you so much.
Were did u get ur cute blue comb from?
I wanna subscribe but you’re at 420 and don’t wanna kill that. 😬
I’m at 421 now lol
How to take that locks off?
Soak in conditioner to loosen them up. And stop going to maintenance eventually they will fall off
Can I do this with relaxed hair ?
Yes
Do not back comb tho on relaxed hair
@@betsy_braids thank you , but will my hair grow out longer or stay the same length lol , im debating wether to start my loc journey.
@@betsy_braids could I instant lock my real hair all the way down then leave a little piece out and add the extensions or instant lock my real hair completely then add the extensions or no ?
@@brileekristmas1304 take your time on deciding. Your hair will grow wayyyy faster. It’s a huge commitment... like having a significant other lol.
I'm assuming these are permanent? Looks great!
Ella H hi yes they are permanent. Still coming for maintenance is suggested tho
@@betsy_braids where are you located? i love the ska music by the way seastar 🌟
@@highlyi6982 San Francisco, CA
What is that liquid??
Tea tree oil
How much do you charge for this
Pretty much $100 an hour. Took me about 2 hours to do and she brought her own extensions.
thank you
What stars are you in
Stars? I’m in San Francisco, CA
I love the videos but hate the loud music
Myra 's 2Blėssėd2BEEStrëssëd lol you’re not the only one. I really like ska and I want people to discover the band. That’s okay maybe I should just start muting cuz The copyrights and stuff. Thank you for watching queen

Wow
👍🧚♂️💖😊
Idk how this got in my recommendations but the background music is the most dreadful noise I've heard in a while
Why do people like you have trouble finding the mute button ?
This was hard to watch. Running that beautiful hair
They can be brushed out. Why did you watch this then?
The background music is such a distraction 🤦🏾♀️
Eyen Endam you should mute it
I suggest research fast hair growth fortified shampoo.
and ooooo damn u binded too much hair into that fakedread,it will be so hard to remove it now,that syntetic hair on head will stink overtime
No it won’t. That’s the point for it to be permanent. She can wash them as many times as she wants and she won’t have to worry
🇭🇹🇭🇹
no .
Sintetic?
Leila Zamira yes synthetic hair attached
Good 🤗
