Out of all of the Instant dreadlocks tutorials that I have watched, this is the best one. All of your videos are amazing. They very easy to understand and follow. I have had three sets of dreads. I have done each set with a different method. So I have some experience spanning almost 20 years with dreads. And I love your videos. Anybody that is looking for easy videos on instant dreads, this is the guy you want to follow.

[@lebumcames3615]

Why 3? Did you just get tired of them 3 seperate times or do they become unmanageable after a while? Thinking about starting my 1st set

[@carriondoll]

@@lebumcames3615 the first set I mistakenly cut off for a job. The second I had 10 years. I left an abusive marriage and started a new life. Hair carries energy and it was fine for a fresh start. After 6 years without them I was ready for my newest set I started in January. There are tons of videos to help you learn to maintain them if you don’t want the wild free form look. I prefer very little maintenance. And if you really want them to look neat and have the money there are tons of locticians.

[@cierrahayes1808]

I've been wanting to do partial dreadlocks starting with maybe 5 at minimum (all over not dreaded under layer like the typical way) and slowly increase the amount till I have a full head. what sections would you suggest I started with? I also have thin straight middle back length hair (knots like crazy) what method would you recommend I tried twist and rip a few year ago and hated it

[@summerrayne9350]

This is absolutely horrifying to watch. My whole body cringes watching this woman tear another persons hair up. You’re not gonna get the results that you want from this. It’s absolutely a mistake. If you want dreadlocks use a crochet hook. Or freeform those are the only two methods that aren’t going to completely destroy your hair.

I locked my straight hair on Jan 18th, using advice from an older video of yours. (crochet) Currently, they DO look like grinch fingers. 😂 I'm waiting until they mature over the next couple months before blunting the ends. However, I'd like to thank you for your advice, Gunther. Without your videos and guidance I'm not sure I would have done it all on my own.

[@cornycat98]

I know this is old but you don't have to wait to blunt the ends just slide a crochet needle down the dread towards the tip and pull the ends up into the dreads , I had blunted tips the first day my dreads were done

So the last couple years I've got my hair permed, but this time I'm thinking of leaving it grow out and then starting dreads with the methods shown probably the first one.. My hairs still quite short maybe about 7 inches.. do you think this is long enough?should I hold out for it to grow a bit more or would it be ok to start the process now? Cheers!

[@lillime2577]

I have straight hair dreads and I found it most useful to pull at kinda of a slant so you're pulling it towards the root. Just think about taking the hook and sticking it into the dread (twist and rip or back comb dread) then try to get the crochet needle around some hair and pulling it to the other side, but at a slight slant and just pull it towards the root. But you gotta do that kinda fast and then you'll get used to just sitting somewhere and crocheting for hours while watching youtube or sum

I saw a Black person do this on youtube. I was hella confused as to why they would back comb with curly hair when they can just twist and use the crochet needle. But they did have some heat damage their ends was damanged part straight and curly. I've been using the crochet method since 07, I have similar curly hair to yours texture wise. I think my curl pattern is 3c. But some of my hair is just wavy and straight, mostly my sides and around the lower back of my hair. I didn't bother trying to crochet it in with the thicker parts of my hair. I think this will be my last set of locs, I want to keep these ones for life. I usually get bored of my hair after like a year tho. So idk 😂💀
