WOW! I am black but I have fine, thin hair that locs up very slowly, so I always have at least several inches of new growth that is pretty unmanageable. I just ordered a crochet hook and gonna try this. Thank you for this!.

Dies this work for dreads that have already been formed and solid? Like say, 7 year old dreads? Because I've got spots that I need to get loose hair back into my dreads

Is a .5mm crochet hook the best size for dreadlocks maintenance if you have straight hair ?
@miraclek46565 жыл бұрын
Los BeTrappin Yes it is! It’s the smallest and best size to use.

queenmir bear good to know ! I unfortunately I had trouble finding a stainless steel .5mm crochet hook so I ended up ordering a .6mm hopefully it works out I have my dreads crochet every 8 to 12 weeks at the shop but I want to to start doing some maintenance my myself in between

I have tried over and over trying to use a crochet hook, my problem is the hair I pull through seems to pop back out after about 2 mins. The hair wont stay tight. I don't know what I am doing wrong, I have all sizes of hooks and have tried with all of them. Help!
@DreadsUKdotcom8 жыл бұрын
+wingsonmyback1 Its going to be difficult to comment without seeing what you're doing. My guess is it would be the tightening and sculpting phase. Would you be interested in a training day? If there are enough people interested, i could arrange something

Quick question, when going in and out how frequently are you twisting the dread as you’re going in and out?
@DreadsUKdotcom3 жыл бұрын
its all a continuous motion. The aim is to make all the hair create as many tiny knots as possible.

Im getting my hair locked currently sort of waiting for my hair to be a little bit longer but ive seen a hairdresser use this crochet machine thing it looked like the crochet end very small, but has a speed control all it does is move back n forth from slow to very fast - wondering if anyone knows the name of it?? have been trying to find it via Amazon but to no avail it just looked easier all she did was move it along the hair that was being locked anyway I was very impressed wanted to try myself cos it was like $200-450 to lock, rather expensive lol anyway cheers.

Sounds more like something with a felting needle than a crotchet hook, hope that helps.

Hi ,can you use a 1.0 if it's the only size you can get and will it work?
@DreadsUKdotcom4 жыл бұрын
it will , but not as well and could be more prone to breaking hairs. You can get one online on our website

Hands down this is the bEst method. Is a 0.75 size needle too large?
@DreadsUKdotcom6 жыл бұрын
you can only try it. id personally find it too big and not really optimum. but you might be able to get away with it.

Can you practice this method on synthetic hair? Does it has the same effect?
@jessysauce6 жыл бұрын
Not really, no.
@DreadsUKdotcom6 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is the same process, tho synthetic hair doesnt give the exact result as human hair does as the material behaves slightly different. But yes, you can practise

I have more newly formed dreads, theyre about 6 to 7 months old and i started off with a crop top hairstyle, top long sides shaved, im planning on re shaving the sides and back just like your dreadhawk tutorial, the only problem is that they are maturing very slowly. i regularly use the mango and lime tightening wax and wash them with a residue free shampoo, but they dont look as sculpted or "rope" like like those, theyre more flat, how can i fix this
@ElijahMCbeats7 жыл бұрын
Wax works against the locking process and leaves build up. Your essentially putting residue in by using it
@420strongman57 жыл бұрын
So would you recommend that i clean all of the left over wax residue out with shampoo and stop using the wax all together or use it as little as possible

Would this be used as a spray or as a dip, like spraying the mixture on my dreads after a shower or keep them soaked in it for a while
