It's refreshing to see someone with a fullhead of dreads. Not say that hightop is bad. Simply cause i f with the hightop look but i rather keep a fullhead of hair and you inspire me

[@toosmoothtay]

I feel that honesty having a full head tends to be better in the long run

[@jaykey1202]

@toosmoothtay Yeah, exactly you can go long periods of time without needing a haircut. Bank account, loves it lol.

[@THXRNSAMPLES]

@@jaykey1202imo hightop looks way cleaner and more professional plus if you do it right it’ll look like a fullhead but with more styles

@@ayomiflower well i kept the freeforms for a while and they looked good, i got a retwist not long ago and was humbled by the shrinkage but overall id definately recommended the journey bc the patience i have developed for myself and my hair is genuinely amazing. Try not to vompare yourself to others tho if u also go on the journey as u can get discouraged easily

[@WFMGodofall]

Thx I'm trying to glow up rn and I'm trying to get dreds

[@vexyt8986]

Can u make a video on how to use a sponge properly

[@user-hs4jh5jq8z]

did you get a retwist or did your hair just hang

[@vertacio]

how do u make ur hair stay flat from the roots, cuz when i sponge i kinda get the freeform look

[@toosmoothtay]

add a little more water and moisturizer then sponge a little more

[@shxnen741]

what's your hair type? my hair type is 3c and I wanna know if I can use the sponge method like you did to lock them up

[@toosmoothtay]

My hair is closer to 4c. For 3c hair it will work, but starting with shorter hair will be a lot easier

[@oladejimatty9345]

When you started the dreads journey with the foam did you let water touch you hair when you bath.?

[@CortneyMungo]

Don't

I wash with shampoo then I add conditioner after

[@hooligansunday3903]

Yo would you recommend using a sponge for longer hair?

[@toosmoothtay]

Yes, but there will be a point where it just doesn't because your hair is too long

[@hooligansunday3903]

@@toosmoothtay That’s the point im at rn, i just been doing two strands on my hair to see how it would look if i had actual locs

[@xxfeelingbadxx10]

How often did you sponge your hair at the beginning?

[@toosmoothtay]

At the very beginning probably every day but after a month I did it like once or twice a week

whats the best way to grow dreads

[@toosmoothtay]

Use a hair coiling sponge

[@PAULBENTLEYSOUND]

Do you use any products?

[@toosmoothtay]

yup I use moisturizers and oils

[@PAULBENTLEYSOUND]

Do you eventually have to twist your hair with your fingers or just use the sponge the whole time?

[@kahirwilson6835]

What do you do about bed head?

[@toosmoothtay]

it'll happed a lot in the early stage but if you just add a little bit of water and moisturizer then sponge it a little it'll do the job

Use a sponge to get it back up, but once you start getting hang time the flatness goes away

Did you use the spiky part of the sponge or the other part?
