I have dreads info 1. Get retwisted every two weeks 2. Your dreads lock up in 3 months 3. They shake in about 2 months 4. Don't mess with you're.hair a lot 5. Sleep with something on you're head like a dome cap 6. Dreads are teaching u how to be patient no matter how long they get
I appreciate all questions, comments, and feedback whether positive or negative. I am a licensed stylist and I educate myself thoroughly. Anything you see me do is based off of furthering my education. This particular method is one of the best and healthiest method. I have tried all and I have been to dozens of classes. The foam wrap makes the locs neater for me. I never have to trim a loc to make it neater. Please don't disrespect me by calling me out of my name. I don't need input on how to use clippers I know how. I prefer the line post doc because it works for me. Thank you all for watching my video. I truly appreciate it.
Hey Miss Loretta. U did an awesome job. I see u used some kind of wrap or set lotion n not the weesbax.... you mentioned a lot of buildup w the beeswax. But how often do u recommend washing the hair after the initial twist. Thx in advance n u hv a new subscriber here.
I can appreciate you able to pull off twisting on such short hair and damn were your hands cramping after that ? Honestly the dude shouldve waited until his hair grew more . He looks like hellraisers cousin nubhead.
This video has given me motivation to do my sons hair! I thought I had a comb that was small enough but after rewatching your video I see it is not. ( : thank you! Ill get a new comb and begin again!
It worked wonderfully! I almost looked like a pro doing it ( : the top was perfect! But his hair was still quite a bit shorter on the sides and very fine. it wouldnt keep. :(
Yolf Life its not a straightener it is a foam with super hold. I used Xpressions because I took a certification class at bronner bros hair show and I liked the product and educator. But now I use Nairobi foam wrap. It is a more professional hold.
Hi Loretta, great video. My mom did most my hair today and is finishing in the morning. My hair is very kinky and tight coiled. I was wondering how to take care of them after they are done? I have a cap and am wearing it. How soon do I start twisting new growth and when do they start to loc? Thanks :)
ok I love it...you did a great job!! My boyfriend want to start his and it is has been growing for three months so it is the same length as the one you did. I am not a professional but I have been re-twisting my son's locks for 3 years but I never started them. I live in a small town and there are no trained professional locticians or anyone who does black people hair here. The product you are using, can it be substituted with anything else?
Sorry for the late response. Any kind of foam wrap with a firm hold is best to use. It eliminates frizz and holds longer. It the hair is long enough for a click make sure the are place vertically. So there will not be a mark.
+some one that's my son, he goes back and forward with his hair styles but i have uploaded other video with locs that I started this way and the hair has grown.
Wow You look like a really good hair stylist, any tips on what kind of hair stylist i shuld go to to get these dreads and how much wuld they charge me?
Most licensed cosmetologist have taken a course in natural hair. Look for the someone with experience in loc. Depending on th lenght of your hair prices could vary starting at $45
+ellen scott I personally do not use beeswax. i learn in one of my many loctician classes that it weighs the hair down and is one of the causes of balding. I didn't part in the front to avoid lines.
So lather the hair with the foam, twist, sit under the dryer until completely dry...then what do you do after? I'm going to dread my sons hair, but don't know how he should sleep. Durag? Please help!
Durag or cap only because they haven't locked yet so to much tussle can unravel them. Once they lock and are at a nice length he can just sleep "normally".
I would like to make my hair like this, in the absence of expression wraps which isn't available here in Malaysia, can u suggest any alternatives can could hold my air? Can gel do?
hello lorreta, my hair is about 1 inch i was wondering if i could get long dread locks by using synthetic extension without waiting for my natural hair to grow 6 inches
I have a question after you use the foam and twist up your hair do you wash out the foam with shampoo or something? or wen u take a shower do you just let the water rinse out the foam?
Hi Loretta, I'm white and have straight hair but I want to lock my hair up and my hair is 2 1/2 inches long. How and what is the best way I can dread? Please reply!
Sorry for the late response. You lock method involves, what I call roughing. You have to clarify your hair and strip the oils first. Your hair has to be teased and palm rolled. The foam wrap will not work for your texture. You need something with a very firm hold.
Do you recommend this method over interlocking? I booked an appointment for Monday at a salon and the lady that is doing it quickly mentioned her process and she mentioned interlocking and a crochet tool. After reading quite a bit about interlocking, I'm not sure if I even want that method to start because they seem to create sister/brotherlocs (scalpy, look like dreads, but braids) which I do not want. I want a thick looking head full of dread, so I'm just wondering what method is best?
lls his hair looks really short but you finessed it. WOuld you recommend starting dreads at that length or do you notice better results with longer hair for starters?
Yes it is the best way to grip short hair. I uploaded some brief videos on my channel with short hair, not his because I not longer live in GA but the short locs were all started this way
+Apayo Anthony in this video I used Xpressions foam because of the length of his hair. After I finished I place him under the dryer for 45 minute or until completely dry.
Definitely no spritz hardener that shit irritated the hell out my head when I had somebody do my hair ppl usually sit you under a dryer with clips on ur hair but I guess since his so short the clips wouldnt work
I have a important question I want to start my dread journey but my hair is relaxed and ive been in afro stage for two months can I still get it twisted with my hair relaxed please reply I can use the help thank you
How short can you start to dread your hair? My hair is a little shorter than that in the video but when I pick it out and I twist it it stays twisted. Is that long enough?
+Loretta Da Loc Queen Johnson OK I want some badly,but I k don't want to go through the rough stages of short Lol,would they still be able to grown,if I got my hair twisted and wore a wig?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a vid, i've yet to see an asian with dreads. I know it may sound ignorant to some, but i really hope you go thru with it and make a vid
i think you can get them, cuz white ppl also have dreads. but its gotta be thru the "neglect" method where u basically braid it and dont wash or comb it for a longgg ass time

I have dreads info
1. Get retwisted every two weeks
2. Your dreads lock up in 3 months
3. They shake in about 2 months
4. Don't mess with you're.hair a lot
5. Sleep with something on you're head like a dome cap
6. Dreads are teaching u how to be patient no matter how long they get
Its not the same for everyone depending on texure or density. Also not the best idea to retwist every 2 weeks more like 4 if u must.

*John Smith* wave cap
Kaydendapolo takes 2 months for them to shake? Damn
Outkast Child honestly i thought it was like 4

+Loretta Johnson i have beeswax would that work to start dreads?
+carl cherry I personally do not recommend beeswax because of build up. however some stylist use it.

What did u apply on his head
I can appreciate you able to pull off twisting on such short hair and damn were your hands cramping after that ? Honestly the dude shouldve waited until his hair grew more . He looks like hellraisers cousin nubhead.

Let me know how it turns out.
It worked wonderfully! I almost looked like a pro doing it ( : the top was perfect! But his hair was still quite a bit shorter on the sides and very fine. it wouldnt keep. :(
Use a crochet needle for the side. I may upload a video for that one
omg thank you i been searching youtube for the longest trynna find a good tutorial, u explained the process perfectly
Lawd, she was dreading his thoughts together with his hair. I know his head was hurting

Both my sons ages 11 and 4 will be transitioning to Locs.. Thanks for the video it gives us an idea of what the process is going to be like..
You are welcome.sorry for the late reply
Sorry for late reply. I was locked out of my account. It is best to separate the short Locs. it makes it easier to style when the hair grows out.
what is the best grease to use for begging your dreads
No grease.
Loretta Johnson ok so the Jamaican Lime Lock dont use it
No grease, you can use the gel. What is your hair texture?
How long should my hair be Loretta Johnson
Yolf Life its not a straightener it is a foam with super hold. I used Xpressions because I took a certification class at bronner bros hair show and I liked the product and educator. But now I use Nairobi foam wrap. It is a more professional hold.
I like that I'm tryna get mines done. The only thing is it's nappy LS lol
Looks really nice, good work. Would of been good to know what product was used. Could be helpful to others.
I used expressions foam wrap for short hair.
When I was a kid like 7. I was playing in hair (which I'm not supposed to do) and I accidentally made a few locks. And this is exactly how I did it
HEY Nice Tutorial , Help Me Alot , & May I Ask Wat That Name Of Product Did You Use On His Hair?
Expression foam wrap for short hair. I used a foam wrap because it is easier for frizzy hair.

Yes, until the hair doesn't have any frizzies

Great video, how much hair do you suggest before starting dreads, been growing this from out for almost 5 months now kinda tired of rocking an afro...
she cold then she lined him up... 😂 😉
Nice dreads !
Thank You
Wow You look like a really good hair stylist, any tips on what kind of hair stylist i shuld go to to get these dreads and how much wuld they charge me?

great tutorial ! will it work the same if I use beeswax and why did u stop parting when u go to the top..do u have to stop parting or is it optional ?
+ellen scott I personally do not use beeswax. i learn in one of my many loctician classes that it weighs the hair down and is one of the causes of balding. I didn't part in the front to avoid lines.
Loretta Da Loc Queen Johnson yes I see what you're saying. beeswax is heavy. I used it after watching this..thanks !

About how long would you suggest a guy grows his hair out before he starts having locs like this?
So lather the hair with the foam, twist, sit under the dryer until completely dry...then what do you do after? I'm going to dread my sons hair, but don't know how he should sleep. Durag? Please help!
Durag or cap only because they haven't locked yet so to much tussle can unravel them. Once they lock and are at a nice length he can just sleep "normally".
How many months he grew his hair to get dreads cause i want to get my dreads again and i want to start short to lock easier
nice dreads but what is the name of cream used
Hrecieved Hh Xpressions foam

yes you can
I would like to make my hair like this, in the absence of expression wraps which isn't available here in Malaysia, can u suggest any alternatives can could hold my air?
Can gel do?
+Vikky McKay I would not use the black gel. you can use a loc and twist gel
hello lorreta, my hair is about 1 inch i was wondering if i could get long dread locks by using synthetic extension without waiting for my natural hair to grow 6 inches
What is the product that you used ? Is that conditioner ?
I have a question after you use the foam and twist up your hair do you wash out the foam with shampoo or something? or wen u take a shower do you just let the water rinse out the foam?
+Woodson Metellus no, you do not wash out. You have to sit under the dryer. It sets the hair
what product did you use/which products do you recommend to use on the hair...
amazing video btw👏🏾🙌🏾
how long before it locks? And should I put him under the dryer after I finish twisting the locks?
3 months to a year
Hi Loretta, I'm white and have straight hair but I want to lock my hair up and my hair is 2 1/2 inches long. How and what is the best way I can dread? Please reply!

+abdullah you'll look ridiculous just wait till your hair is at least 5 to 6 inches

I want a thick looking head full of dread, so I'm just wondering what method is best?
If you are considering something permanent interlocking is best
I wanna get dreads but, goddamn, all this stuff is difficult looking lol
especially since my hair is pretty straight
lls his hair looks really short but you finessed it. WOuld you recommend starting dreads at that length or do you notice better results with longer hair for starters?
I recommend starting short although you can start long
I made mine today and they look just like his but i wonder if they will get thicker as they grow?
+Bboy Romeu if you want them thicker you will have to combine them
Oh thanks for letting me know
Yw
wat produt u used to hold the hair in place? i tried doing that but it comes off realy fast. if u have any tips plz tell me
This what I have had in for 3 weeks now when I get them retwist does most professional retwist them by hand?
my son has short hair also. what was the stuff you have on his hair that makes it lock
Yes it is the best way to grip short hair. I uploaded some brief videos on my channel with short hair, not his because I not longer live in GA but the short locs were all started this way
Is Tht Cream To Make Your Hair Grow??
no foam wrap
what is the stuff u use in his hair to make it wet and moist
Do I need to apply anything after this. Like day to day?
Not day to day, but you do need to apply oils with vitamins a, e, or d
Great video
How do you lock hair of different textures on the same head? If that makes sense...
+Paris Sanders mostly the coils will work but if the texture is soft I would interloc from the start
What's in his hair and what do you do once you're done?
+Apayo Anthony in this video I used Xpressions foam because of the length of his hair. After I finished I place him under the dryer for 45 minute or until completely dry.
love your had work 😍
I wish you could start my dreads
best demo i looked at.
What did you do to the ends? How does it stay and not uncoil
can you give me the name of your hair oil please ?
I use tea tree oil
can you do the same method with straight hair?
yes, with back combing.
I have a question, will short dreads always be as separated, with the little bald spots in between?
yes, after a 3-4 months new growth will cover it
Loretta Johnson ok thank you, I was worried about the little bald spots being there for good
Does this work if you have straight hair ?
Can u do that stuff with the sponge instead?
I may feel dumb asking this question, is it possible to dread a straight, curly type hair?
Yes but you will need beewax which is very sticky. You can't use gel because the texture of hair you have is very soft.
ahhh okay..then what about the part where you make the lock?
+Shaun Williams I don't know much about that part sorry
its okay
Shaun Williams idk
So after your all done dreading, don't u have to use spritz to harden them.
And what Does you're secret stuff do?
Definitely no spritz hardener that shit irritated the hell out my head when I had somebody do my hair ppl usually sit you under a dryer with clips on ur hair but I guess since his so short the clips wouldnt work
my hair grows so slowly it keeps me from doing my locks
David Eveillard my grows fast it's a rlly big Afro
Kay G SAVAGe really*
Can i go from shaved dreads to full dreads? The top of my head is done but I want to get my sides and back done after my hair grows back
you have to let the sides grow
What about beeswax ? & you dont use clips on short hair ?
If I wanted to get dreads like xxxtentacion's white dreads, would I wait for my hair to grow about 5 inches or more? Less?
Heyy! what kinda wax do i need ? I`m from Germany and aint nobody really knows how to handle that smh
man she doing that fast, I need mine hit
I have a important question I want to start my dread journey but my hair is relaxed and ive been in afro stage for two months can I still get it twisted with my hair relaxed please reply I can use the help thank you
interlocking
deondre terry No your hair have to be nappy just wait till the perm leave your head and then twist
What are you using on his hair? Moose?
How short can you start to dread your hair? My hair is a little shorter than that in the video but when I pick it out and I twist it it stays twisted. Is that long enough?
Yea bro if you can twist you can start dreads
@Loretta Johnson can you twist straight hair like that?:) please reply
Anthony Arias 2 string twist is better to start off with for straight hair
Are you going to be keeping up with his updates?
Yes, we have tapered the sides. New vidoe coming soon.
Great! Ill be looking out for that.
Yes, I will add a new video within the next 2 weeks.
If I wanna grow my dreads so it can be in my face which way you do it ?
twist the front forward
how long does it take for dreads to grow medium length?
you can get 1/4 to and 1 inch of hair growth a month with proper care
+Loretta Da Loc Queen Johnson OK I want some badly,but I k don't want to go through the rough stages of short Lol,would they still be able to grown,if I got my hair twisted and wore a wig?
+Ashley Whipple yes, but cover your hair. the friction from the wig could cause a lot of damage
so is it best to start your locs as short as possible
+Jarvis Dewitt I feel that it is less challenging and less expensive for the customer. The longer the hair the higher the price
what kind of product did u use in his hair?
+Shayla Roberson I used Xpressions foam wrap
Nιceeee!
Oo this helped me!!!! I used beeswax and Cantu to do my cousins tho
I am Asian, i have typically straight hair maybe a little longer than 2 in long. Would it be easy doing straight hair?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a vid, i've yet to see an asian with dreads. I know it may sound ignorant to some, but i really hope you go thru with it and make a vid
Kay Basquiat I will for sure make a video. Nothing ignorant. ppl want to see new looks out there.
i think you can get them, cuz white ppl also have dreads. but its gotta be thru the "neglect" method where u basically braid it and dont wash or comb it for a longgg ass time
Thanks
You will have to back comb yours and then palm twist.
What is the solution in the hair you are using??
Loretta what gel are you using on the hair
I'm from Louisiana but I live in new Albany Indiana

Hey how much does it cost to get dreads because I want you to do mines

Popular Outcast doesn't even look that long honestly lol
When the grass cold in the winter short
Looks My Length Rn ... So Ima Say An Inch
That's not a inch lol.i just my locs done lol I have about 2 inches lol 3 tops
How many inches of hair did he have wen yu twisted it?
Plz tell me yuh live in DAH dmv area ? I needs dis ASAP
I tried to get my locs stated last year and they wouldnt Loc for me. I want to try it again though, is there a way I can get them to loc faster?
Interlocking is the best way, most people are not skilled in it. If your are not careful the wrong individual could cause traction alopecia.
So should I go to a professional to start them?
Yes, also there may be someone in your neighborhood who's in cosmetology who can do it for you at a lower rate.
Hey do people say anything to you in public when you do your hair like this
