I started mine 2 months ago with comb coils and I'm about to get them retwisted by my mom in a few minutes. She wasn't a fan of me getting dreads at all, but now she's accepting it and I save a bunch of money on retwists.

[@gullysteezlife]

Young Moptop I’m using a twist up comb to start mine. Did you use the comb every day or did you just eventually just let them lock up

[@IamTheseus]

how is ur dreads now?

[@inciteflame1762]

When I one day have the luxury to begin dreads, your vids will make the process so much simpler 😁

[@9000Werewolf]

My hair is like 3inches long, I started with the Twisting and Gel process when it was around 2 inches. Was easy too, and pretty convient, just had Duck Clips on each Dread until my Hair was dry from the Gel, after like 2hrs later when my hair was dry. Just take out the clips and boom you have a starter lock. Didn't was my hair till 2 days later. Nothing special just water and some like massaging, after the wash, put the clips back on one more time so your hair does break up, once they dry once more, taking the clips off gave me nice dreads in the next day when they started to lock on their own after that, I'm niw just gonna let my hair grow and take care of the new growth every 3 months. Main this is be careful how you sleep, I usually sleep with a Beanie on now, keeps your hair from being disturbed during sleep in the beginning stages.

are you caucasian?

Sam Lotti No, I'm black 😁👍🏾

[@dirtysouth3291]

vro im light skinned (middle eastern mixed) and my hair isnt straight, its kinda thick and minimal curly, and it always has a perfect form without me having to do anything but idk what method is the best for me, shall I use twist n rip?

[@inciteflame1762]

Sam Lotti I still would guess twist and rip

I had suspicions that you were Christian by your demeanor, and then I saw that you went to church. Good to see a fellow brother in Christ doing something positive! Bless you bro!

[@elfullin]

[@nellieltuodelschwanck1236]

Just because you are Christian doesn't mean you're a good person that's quite bias.

[@ForHeWhoLaughs]

[@OTSCasper]

Twisting with gel does work with curly/ wavy thick Hispanic like hair . i think its the best method even tho they look weird at first they mature and look pretty good

Who else came here after seeing Killmonger's dreadlocks?

[@adamantium51]

I did

[@Kysah_VDP]

you cant mock someones dreads its nearly impossible cause dreads form in different ways while also your scalp is different to his scalp you produce a different amounts of oil in your hair than he does

[@euso2008]

I saw his hair and thought it looked really badass. Not sure it would look similar on me because I'm white and have straight, thin hair.

[@bbro2479]

I did

[@victornjoroge389]

Stefan Winsett I only liked kilmongers dreads when he braided it

[@boobookittyfuckdope]

For the straight haired people, crochet with twist and rip is a good method 😊

[@stizziproductionz]

I’m doin braid locks rn shits working incredibly, I have straight hair to and just wanted all of it to just grow and not have to dread em all threw time. I know it won’t completely dread so Ima lock em up completely soon probably after another month. (Btw if you all didn’t know, it takes a month or 2 for your hair to start dreading) I’ve been taking these in and out for 3-4 months now, last time they started dreading and got scared lol but now I’m committed

How did you get through rude comments about starting dreads ? Cause a year ago I grew out my man bun out yo where it was shoulder length , and I dreaded it and I guess I didn’t understand the process it has to go through for it to form into a dread and I would get messed up rude comments from people and co workers . I would get embarrassed as if I done it wrong , but I didn’t do it wrong honestly I did what you explained was crochehooking it and palming it . I shaved my head due to their constant harassment and I had a friend who had dreads for years and told me I was doing it right and why did I shave my head and I felt sooooo dumb afterward 😔 oh well I grew out my hair again and looking forward to doing dreads again. Thank you for this video man I just wanted to know how did you get through the stages of dreading with or without rude comments about it .

[@Oroorel]

Shouldn't let people get to you. People say what they want to say; Its your job to not let those things throw you off your goal(s). I've been twisting my hair for around 1 a month and a half now and even thoug though it looks silly, I still know it'll look good soon. Just a matter of being patient!

[@Kysah_VDP]

if they told you you did it wrong most cases they dont know about dreads at all cause everyone knows if you see hair theat its bunched up but looks bad its the case of have them put in recently and that it takes time to mature and in my image i see dreads something to experience to show the people you put into it cause its a different way and a creative feeling you get when you do new things

[@zeke_antonio82]

People were probably jealous cuz they don’t know how.. your life.. people have no life if they have to always be paying attention to someone else.. do what YOU want and don’t let anyone stop you from getting what u like and want

[@drippy_jsh3996]

Richard Da Costa same ik I’m late but I’m 11 and I sponged and twisted it down and I’m constantly twisting the frizz out and I’m gonna lock it but in 2 weeks I’m going to Jamaica and I’ll be in the ocean and the salt will lock it up (I’m a boy btw )

[@Osiwan960]

i am very white and i simply started my dreads by using a dry bath towel rubbing circles on my whole head and it worked right away, then 5 minutes a day to maintain is enough! (as seen in Connor Trent vids)

[@karlagarm1982]

I do the back comb on my hair. And at tips I twist and rip and back comb then crochet.then a few days later I palm roll it with the gel.

[@JAPARICAN50-50]

I use wax but I wash my whole hair everyday and just retwist it only takes me 30 minutes max to do my whole hair since my hair is nappy and curly it’s very easy

[@unnamedunnamed3470]

I have strait non curly white people hair and I started with doing freeform, and that worked for the most part except on my bangs (not to mention when I started my hair was down to my shoulders) but after about 2 months I decided to to just back comb it and gel it and it worked fine, it definitely does look like caveman hair and most of the dreads are not cylindrical but it works...

[@poppyshakoor6876]

Lmao I'm dying at the Howcast woman. Her videos suuuuuuuuuck. Please tell me you guys have seen her 😂 Edit: braidlocs (as well as interlocking) are perfect for people who sweat a lot/work out. I actually started with twists. But they came undone at the root and the last back row of my head has really, really fine hair and came undone completely. So I had to braid it to keep my hair in place. (It's damn near straight too. Pretty sure it's the fine baby hair that never got coarse)

[@jmbrown811]

Poppy Shakoor Howcast in general sucks because they try to be a jack of all trades and they suck at all of them.

[@poppyshakoor6876]

Fightology Look up a PROPER interlocking video then watch the howcast videos. The people are so hot and bothered in the comments 😂She interlocks soooo wrong. But. I will say I would recommend her crappy method if you wanted to split a dreadlock with cutting it. Safer way.
