I've been over thinking dreads for a long time. A lot of videos you see talk about how the roots need to be super tight, the ends should be tight, etc. I unfortunately brushed out my first set of dreads for fear of them 'not being right'. Thank you for your videos, they're very informative.
They tighten over time :) they're no instant thing. The best thing to do is just not worry and let them do their thing. Hair knots whether you want it to or not... which is annoying for people with regular long hair - great for dreadheads :)
Thank you, sir, I look forward to starting them again!
@@LazyDreads is it bad if I twist and rip and then Congo it before they mature? My hair is shorter(5-6 in) so it kind of helps them stay in
Myself back in 1990 I braided my hair and back combed it then got a hard block of bees wax and worked real well I just had a problem when my hair grew at the root i found it hard to dread up, back in those days no white dude would have there dreaded but glad people caught on cos it looks Kool, Peace out
Marko Haley damn what a bop
White dudes have had dreds from the begining of time my friend
Mark Haley wax isn’t meant for dreads cuz you can’t wash wax out
@@jacobinfante375 you can its just need to shampoo your hair without water and massage the waxed area, then rinse
Simple and effective method of starting #dreadlocks yourself.

Lazy Dreads new subbie
Lazy Dreads and how do I remove them if I don't like them anymore?
I find a really good way to start dreads is to braid the hair at the roots then twist and rip and backcomb abit. It worked for me.
Man!! I've been doing the same but mine ended up getting really loose and I thought I did it wrong I haven't tried back combing though
omg thats awesome. thank you so much. im caucasian spaniard and i ve been wanting dreads for a few years. Ive lived mostly with a shaved head but ive been looking for a change up and after a years research, youve simplified it in literally only a few minutes. Kick ass man
deiced to make a single T&R dread to go under the rest of my hair. found this very informative and reassuring. THANK YOU
I have been watching UA-cam video's on dreads forever now, finally found you! Someone I enjoy watching :)
I appreciate how you go the extra mile to inform and cover all bases. Thank you.
I have really been considering creating a few dreadlocks myself, your videos are so much help!
0:58 I thought it was a bag of meth
same
Thomas Anguita haha same I thought coke
Thomas Anguita i had to pause and replay just to hear him say they were rubber bands lol
Thomas Anguita same
same dude
I love your videos! I've been watching them for about a year now. I'm gonna be 18 in November of next year and hopefully I'll be sharing an apartment with my best friend (I know it sounds childish) and I'll finally be able to get dreadlocks. My parents never let me get them, but I am slowly persuading them. So I might actually start my dreadlocks before then. I just want to thank you for posting these videos because they really taught me a lot. :3
Wow i am so happy to come across you...im starting my dread journey with rip and twirl method now and you have helped me so much!!! Your videos are so clear and easy to understand.
First little baby dreadlock complete :) quite a few more to go... And then to watch them grow. Thanks for all the information dude!
This seems the easiest and simplest! I like your enthusiasm! My boyfriend wants ME to do his hair and he doesn't want giant dreads as well. Thanks!
I just want to say thanks for all your great videos. I have learned so many new things about dreadlocks. On Tuesday I get my hair divided into sections by a hairdresser and then I'll go myself in the process of making dreadlocks throughout my long hair.
Thanks to you I will not commit any silly mistakes as others try to lure me into. You do it all so simple and I am looking forward to get dreadlocks for the first time in my 41 years old life. Thank you from Denmark
Norsk?
Diana Lund Jørgensen hahahah jeg er også fra Danmark
Diana Lund Jørgensen I hope they didn't charge you to section off you're hair that would be ridiculous now if they section and dread it then ya it's reasonable to pay
@@MyKrazyKK legend say u wont respond
I am so glad I found this channel. My boyfriend wants dreadlocks and asked if I could do it lol. (big sigh) Wish me luck!!
Amanda L. This maybe late but did you accomplish this?
prz gurung no😂
Might be a little bit late bit how did it go
Amanda might be late but how did it go
Might be a little late but how did i go?
Yeyyyy finally i found the right video!!! Have not comb my hair in about 2 weeks my hair already has seccions sibce i have losse hair i tryed 2 parts AND IT WORKED!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
By watching ur videos, ur not telling me anything I don't know lol. Ur videos have given me a ton of confidence :). Even my co workers have noticed them getting shorter and thicker and think they r looking really good and a lot better. At first they called me weird, but now they think the dreads look cool lol.
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! yesss!! this worked soooo well for me!! thanks heaps!!! your dreds are awesome!!!
Talk about a throw back. I remember a few yrs ago when I decided to do my dreads and did MASSIVE research and found ur channel on UA-cam and decided twist and rip was how I wanted to go. However I twisted tighter and ripped harder to the point to where after I was finished with one section, my scalp was indeed very tender. Took me about 2.5 weeks to do it all. I did every part of the process on my own. I'm finiky when it comes to my hair. I can only be mad at myself if I don't do it correctly.
Thanks dude, really nice clear and informative video. Finally I feel I understand fully, rather than a general understanding ;)
I used the twist and rip method and backcombing together & mine came out really good.
Thank you so much for this video! I just made my first dread and I've always wanted them! Exciting! How do you make sure it doesn't come out and how long should you wait to wash it?
I love your videos! I watch them over and over because you're so awesome! ^.^
Excellent! :D glad you enjoy them!
This was so informative! And I love your vibe. Thanks for the vídeo. Will help me a lot!
Ive done this before but I back combed every now and then as I went along and it made the dread form fast and hold its shape better
I just used the twist and rip to dread my hair this past Thursday. I haven't been able to find a lot of information for maintaining it though. Am I supposed to do anything besides wash it?
How To Make Dreadlocks - Twist And Rip Method
Thank you! Unbelievably overdone by so many others! Just straight forward good info :)
I am getting ready to put dreads in using this method. My hair is very long and very thick. Should I use thinner sections of hair so that drying the dreads is easier? Also, I have been prepping my hair by going longer between washes with just a regular shampoo bar, should it be ok to go ahead? Thanks! Love your videos :)
Great video, I have 3a hair what method would you best recommend?
I’m really looking into getting dreads myself but I have semi medium long straight hair, sort of like an emo cut lmfao what method would you recommend? And any tips on sectioning hair on your own? Like how to keep sections separated? Anything would really help, love the dreads bro!
I've been using this method but using the flea comb just to push the knots up tighter every inch or so. I stick it into the mat where it feels too loose and push the knots upward toward the good knotted matted area. I hope i don't regret that.
Also I notice you're leaving like 2 inches of space or more at the top. Do I need that much room? I've got about that much room but I've put a rubber band at the top where it felt too loose. Bad idea? It's close to my skull but not squeezed tight against it- maybe a centimeter ish of room between band and skull
Yesss I use this method for the ends of my braids! I don't want to use a shitton of tiny rubber bands so I lock the ends of my braids with the twist & rip, works perfectly :)
i have coarse curly hair and started freeform dreadlocks almost 4 months ago. but now i'm considering brushing my hair out in some places and choosing another method because my hair keeps clumping together. what do you suggest?
I've had my dreadlocks for 30 days and I've been washing them weekly when should I start washing them every 3 days?
Hey! I have wavy slightly curly hair and it's length comes down to about the bottom of my nose on top, what would you recommend for the best way to start dreadlocking my hair?
Hey man, thanks for the tutorial. I am planning on making a Halloween mask that involves dreads. Can I use synthetic hair and use this method, AND could I spray something on them to help achieve the "matured" look that you talk about in this video? Thanks. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 🤘💀
Nice vid thanks! Anything I can do to help with the frizz?
@lazydreads one question. how do you get the dread forming from the root of the hair ? like starting from the scalp ?
That's slot more gentle than I thought it was gonna be
Does this mean that after you do the twist and rip you don't have to do anything else after to your dread lock or do you still have to treat it
Hey man, I have sheep like curly hair the becomes a frizzy fro. What would b a good method to use and what is a good hair length to start. My hair is shorter atm and was wandering if they can grow into healthy dreads from it only being shoulder length.
Ur video was a god send nice and clear instructions thx 4 takin the time to make this video. Will my locks be alright under a wool hat? Scared ov them comin inraveled while at work lol
what do you do after you done the twist and rip do you wait so it locks up better
I did this method a little differently. I made sure to create knots but I twisted the hair as it was separated into two strands, grabbing two of different sizes each time. Will my hair still lock?
if you have very thick but very slippery hair that doesnt hold well, is there any way of securing the bottom? like adding some wax or something to ensure it does not slip out. I'm a first timer and am just experimenting
I'm considering dreadlocks as soon as my hair grows a bit more. Twist & Rip or Backcomb? Is the mature dread the same either way?
lovin the ghost tee and dreads
Is it ok to crochet those loose hairs?
(Only after i have finished working with the dread)
If I wanted to take my dreads out ( after I've done this method ) would it be the same as taking any other dread out ?
Love your great advice. thank you!
You are so thorough with everything and I love that! it helps out so much,thanks for the awesome videos you make! :)
+Laughing Coyote Always happy to be able to help!
+Lazy Dreads you definitely do a great job at it :) I also have a question about twist and rip actually.Like when doing so you have to make it really tight at the root? Because I see so many people doing different things with it,where some do it so tight that it hurts their head and they stick out more that way too.but then they say the dreads get loose so they have to make them really tight.I read somewhere though that making it too tight could cause breakage and the dread to fall off or there will be bald spots.so by that I am a bit worried.there was a video where I saw this girl make sure she left a bit of a gap between her scalp and the beginning of her hair when making the dread,but I'm not sure if that would last or not.in this video you don't seem to be doing them uncomfortably tight either,but with a good amount of tight.
It's not so much about tightness, but more how many knots overall that you manage to get in. Twist & Rip only serves to hold the hair in sections - it doesn't actually make finished dreadlocks. It will take months for those knotted sections to lock into finished dreadlocks. Basically you just need to make sure that you're able to create enough knots to make sure that they don't just fall apart and wash out. Obviously the tighter they are, the less likely they are to wash out, but it's not imperative that they're painfully tight, just so long as they're 'tight enough'.
26 seconds in and I love you already @LazyDreads
If you're doing partial-dreads and you already twist and ripped and dread, do you need to continuously twist and tip every day to create the actual dread, or do I need to let it do that on its own after I twist and rip my hair once?
No, just leave your hair alone. Let them mature, continued twisting and ripping will slow down the process.
I was on the phone yesterday, and I was doing this with a section of hair that I had selected, and by the time I was done, I had a 'dread' that looked exactly like that, at 6:16 Are the.. miscellaneous strands of hair popping out okay? So you'd just leave them like that and let them mature?
I thought this method was bullshit, but wow! Thanks brotha. Now my dreads can form with confidence
THIS WAS REALLY HELPFUL THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
Would it be worth it to try this for a day or so or is the damage nit worth it
That helps so much. Considering starting a few dreads but not super sure yet. And I love your band shirts.
+Broken As I Am Love Always happy to be able to help! :)
How does your dread loc up to your scalp? Does it eventually loc up at the scalp?
Hello! I want dreads but when my boyfriend did them the hair didnt feel dreaded. It felt more like a twisted mess...was he doing it right? I just dont want to spend money for dreads that could be done at home, i just keep doubting that its correct. Thank you! 😌
With this method do I have to use a crochet after or?
Man I dreaded my hair with this method. Loved them. But they started getting really loose 👀 at the base so I just started taking them out to redo them because I thought I did it wrong ! So... its normal for them to get loose ?
I did this method (with similar length hair) and all the knots ended up towards the bottom of the hair and straight unknotted hair towards the root, about 4-5 inches of straight hair. Will the straight hair eventually lock up?
Do you/ how long do you keep the rubber bands in??
so i made two dreads with the T&R method,and it was quite good. I mean i tried the backcomb method but the knots where not that strong and weak.With the T&R method there where strong and it didn't shrink my hair at all.Well okay i know that it needs more time for the dreads to tighten and shrink.So i'd say the T&R method work quite good.Should I keep using this method or should i use the Backcomb method?
Thank you for sharing! it really helped!
Your accent is calming
Will this work on coily hair or is there a better method for me?
Hey, I dreaded my hair but there's a big knotted clump. Is this supposed to happen or do I have to redo it???
Im pretty sure i just love you.. lol your videos are pretty great nd the way you like talk to people haha if ya know what i mean... explaining different things.. im thinking of dreading a few bits of my hair but im not sure just yet. i dont think i want a full head.. maybe just a few different peices.. haha idk..
Thanks for all the videos man. Was wondering if it is beneficial to use overhand knots like where you placed the hairbands at the top and bottom of the knotted section instead of the hairbands?
Andrew Coates I wouldn't. The elastic band only remains in the hair long enough for all the dreadlocks to be started - they're there to help organise the sections of hair so that one section doesn't fall ontop of another while you're trying to work. Once the last dreadlock has been started, all the elastics can come off.
My sons hair isn't that long but I'm going to give it a try. Thanks.
Mine look kinda plaited or twisted but I did the twist and rip method will it still work
you made me instantly happy because I have the same Ghost shirt! from their show in Calgary ahhh
Madeline Jean Shirt buddies! ^^
I have a question do hair in the back grows slower the the hair on the top because I feel like its not growing or it is very slowly I need help
I have been thinking about it but will they fall out sometimes I only won't to put two in my hair?
Hi :3 great Video !!! , how tight needs to be ??? (when you´re ripping :P) cause many people says that, too tight it´s bad for the future dread, and too lose means loops and bumps o0?
By the way, cool dreads !
Are you twisting it in the same direction each time?
I just looked up this video for a friend. i have had dreads before, but only a few. i never did go with a full head of dreads... anyway i really wish i watched THIS video before doing them. it's very descriptive.. fantastic vid! I will do them again (as soon as that hair grows back, i cut them out) but, i do have one question.. how do you prevent dreads from locking up all funky like? when i did mine, they decided they were going to kind of merge together at the top and make kind of a fork. did i go to far from the root, or was i washing them wrong? i must have messed up somewhere.
I have had twist and rip dreads for a month now, but for now I have just hair between dreads, what should I do?
I just say its a way of helping your hair dread. :) I do it here and there with different bits. Rubbing them too. But not so much..
I just tried this, and i had one dread half finished, as it wasn't knotting up anymore. I was trying for about an hour, but the dreaded and fine part was still the same length. I got it out for now (which really did hurt) and i will try again with a friend.
How would you twist in new growth
Should I use this method if I want to get dreads like lil pump
Yeah man I have really curly hair that is rough textured and jet black in color. What should I do? My hair is long
@junginj this dread is still in my hair and is tightening up nicely. I prefer dreads not to be started off as tight, since my scalp is aldready sore from the dreading.
yo yo yo! first... love your vid's man!!:P but was just wondering what you would advise for hair witch is roughly 5-6 inches? I'm dreading my hair at the end of next month and was wondering what you think would be better?? (really think, straight black hair)
+SPIRITtrip I'd go with Backcomb for shorter lengths of hair, personally :)
I have mixed hair (white n black) so my hair isnt kinky enough to twist without gels or wax. But idk if its fine enough to do the TR method. Its under my chin when its un twisted but right on my nose when its twisted (so u know length) but can u recommend any methods or tips? Thanks and your vids are great
I would backcomb the hair if it is not particularly long.
What is the best method in your opinion
haha I miss these videos. Im getting them again this thursday. :)
I'm curious about dreading grey hair and if it works as easily. Also, is there such a thing as dreading beards?
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers mate, this'll help a lot!
What do you do during the following months
What method did you use on your dreads.👍
I just started my dreadlock journey please help me I watched your videos but how do I wash them and how often I want to use as less product as possible because I don't want them to get gross...please help!!!
I started doing this and a lot of hair came out but I do have what looks like a dread but in the middle of it looks like a small gap, is this normal?
