Love your video. My son introduced me to your channel. I have been (secretly lol) interested in creating dreadlocks for a long time. And yours was the most entertaining and easy to understand that I have found. And for a 77 yr old grandmother, that means the world to me. Thank you for sharing.

I have been watching your videos and I have wanted dreads since I was a teenager I am now 40 and planning to go off grid in 3 years I am so excited I found you on here my niece has just separated my hair and tonight we will start the process of dreading them up. I will tag you in my photos of the process

[@theun-doing1225]

Omg....I am new to your channel and have seen one other video you’ve made about crocheting dreads. Cannot tell you how fortunate I feel for stumbling upon your channel. I am a professional but first I am human and have been pulled towards dreading and growing dreads. Super anxious as I don’t have anyone with experience to dread for me but have faith I will get there as well! In the meantime, thank you for all of your informative content and crisp energy! ❤️🌟🙏🏼😉

I can't go over about a week without washing my dreads. I guess it's just the way my scalp is. I've had this set for over a year and it's always been like that. I've tried to get on a schedule where I wash them less but my scalp won't have it...

[@aaatt85]

I think this is the greatest KZbin video that I've watched all year.

[@Nichellejune]

Questions: 1. What shampoo do I need to buy? 2. Can it be an essential oil to make them smell nice? 3. Can I use a curling iron to make dreads curly?

[@Patricia-hk9yb]

What do you use at night during sleeping? you wear something over your head or just leave It?

[@alexhage8092]

1.generally you can brush it out. but you cant brushout "knotlocks " (usually on a retwist)

[@btimagng192]

Question- After you start them, will putting them in a bun (often) affect the natural locking process? Like will they start getting tangled with each other and or/slow the locking? Thanks for the reply

[@horselover1113]

I love your crystal necklace - where did you get it? TIA!

[@amandasmith7115]

how do you get dread wax out?? I started on the bottom & there is wax all in my undreaded hair. I can't even begin dreading the rest because it's so sticky . I've scrubbed & scrubbed with shampoo. I wish I had never put any beewax in my hair! I cannot get it out!

[@mindrhapsodyofficial]

I have big respect for you and your expertise. I have admired and wanted dreads for years. However, my hair is baby fine and super thin, this is hereditary and continues to get thinner with age. My mother is in her 70's and I can see her scalp very prominently all over her head. I hope my hair never gets that thin however it is a possibility. My question is: Is it possible that some people just don't have enough hair, for dreads?

[@MelissaRae1975]

I love your color in your dreads. Is this the purple shampoo you spoke of in How to care for dreads?

[@MoonacreHandmade]

I just want to say I love your channel... You remind me of the actress who played Tank Girl. P.S That's a compliment because she is one of my fav! Much love

[@erinf4929]

love your videos!!!! can you do your skin care routine

[@WiredAndStoned]

Eeks. My skin care routine is really quite non existent! Apricot oil on my face and body for moisturizer. Dr. Bronners every few days to wash. OR an exfoliant from lush, like Let The Good Time's Roll.

[@rachelcarrion574]

I love your hair and your videos are so helpful, thank you! So how do you sleep with them? I've heard that it's best to tie them up in a silk scarf. My dreads are very new and I've tried this but the scarf always falls off while I'm sleeping, then I wake up with an extra fuzzy head and dreads kinked and sticking out in weird directions.

[@Ambuttx]

Rachel Miller I don't have dreads but maybe braid them and sleep like that? I do that so my (undreaded) hair doesn't get flippy

[@MRSBABE]

Hey i love your videos ! Ive wanted dreads for a long time but my hair is short about shoulder lenght at the moment. I was wondering how i go about adding human hair extensions so when my hair shrinks i dont look silly or at least to have it long enough to be able to put it up. Can u please please make a video elaborating on the extensions you recommend for people with short hair :) thank you so much love your channel.

[@LilDroidBlue]

a few drops of essential oil and the Apple cider vinegar will leave that scent in your hair

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

How do you deal with male thinning/balding and existing dreads?

[@jenniferfielding5542]

I cannot find very much info about mapping out dreads and sectioning them for THICKNESS What is the formula? How big will your dreads be per section? Ex: 1”x 1”= ? Size dread 1”x 2” = ? Size dread If you check this will you please send out a blip? I know you brushed them out but if you check... please?

[@claireclendening2334]

Does anyone know if i can change my hair color after the hair is dreaded? I have purple tips and it really took to my hair so it's taking forever to fade out. I made a few dreads and want to do more because I'm impatient, but will I be able to change the color after dreading? I tend to change color often and don't want to be stuck with purple dreads.

[@stephaniemcmanus915]

When you get dreads does the length of your hair change? I have not washed my hair for nearly a year. Will that alter the dread making process?

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

I work outside at a pipe yard, and I wash em every thrusday, or friday. oooooorrrrrr when I feel like I need it. if that makes it 2x a week for that week then I will. I might dye them.

How do you keep bugs from residing in your hair, such as lice, fleas, bedbugs?

[@mariagewrgiou2018]

but how you are washing them without getting your dreadlocks wet?how you are washing only your scalp?

[@Harry-cy5vz]

Hi I know it's been 2 months, but having dreads is the same as long hair, it takes forever to dry. Also try applying shampoo to only your scalp and lather with scalp massage motions.

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Yea, I have VERY curly hair, and didnt add to it. and I experienced shrinkage. but its cool.

So I'm thinking of getting dreads...I work out about 5 to 6 days per week. When I work out I sweat a lot and look as if I just took a shower. (Gross I know) Will it be OK to have my hair wet (with sweat) that often?

[@wandacraig8286]

Finally someone i can talk to you about this. I have baby fine hair and im 65 and im tired of my hair constantly falling out. I thought about bix braids but i done have $500 to do that. So dreads are now in my sight to look at. I'd love to have sister locks but don't know if that would be possible with my hair type. I sont want thick locks at all, so im guessing having more smaller locks will cost more, and thats if i can even find someone local that does them. Ive watched videos how to do them, but oy vey i dont think i have that kind of stamina, so id i have to do them myself, should i do underneath first or on top and work in towards the scalp? Hope these arent to many questions from an od lady! Shalom!

[@WiredAndStoned]

Hi there! Dreads might be a great option for you. Start on the bottom row and get your practice where it’s not as noticeable. You’ll get practice and can slowly work your way up! Make them thin, not too thin, and they will thicken up over time. Take your time doing each one, row by row, and you’ll gain confidence throughout! Don’t over maintain them. You should be just fine! We have a kit with an additional course to help you, if needed. 🫶
