Dreadlocks FAQ

I answered some of the many questions you guys asked me about my dreadlocks!
And thanks all of you for putting up with my terrible youtuberness, since I was 3 weeks late putting out this video. Being productive is hard.
Let me know in the comments below if you have any other questions or what you'd like to see more of in my videos!

Editing was well done; very little dead air. It made the conversation flow without any awkwardness. Good choice of music as well, it left you with nothing you had to compete with.

[@lasaanjones8570]

Your locs are beautiful and look amazing!!! Great video!!! Just subscribed to your channel!!!

[@Xaforn]

Love your attitude to communication to others and in such a positive way, you have a shining personality, loved it!

[@LilDroidBlue]

I paid a friend 30 bucks, took her 7 hours. backcombed and a little crochet the first two months then let them go natural, because too much crochet hook and you can create weak spots that can destroy your dreads. Because I don't get maintenance, they are taking their time to naturally knot up and get tighter. I have several that are fully matured, and the rest are almost there. I'm about 11 months in.

[@viviannacataclysm8299]

I love how your spirit shines through on your videos. The music was perfect in the back round, the editing was good as well. I can't say I have any suggestions on how to improve your videos, you are doing so wonderful already! Keep on shining through, and your fearie locks are gorgeous!

[@Laughoutloud361424]

I SO feel you on the people touching your hair thats the one thing I miss about having normal hair

[@andreperry3301]

You're cute. Awesome hair too.

[@MikeandMyBoys]

[@spaced5514]

I can't wait to get my second set of dreads this summer ❤️ my first set of dreadies were only a year old but I loved them ☺️

[@gwenthomassss]

I love all these positive comments, you suit dreads so much

[@DreadlocksJourney]

Beautiful dreads you got there :) Dreadlocks don't need maontenance, they just need patience, some people will need to wait before they see fully mature dreads, and you wash them just as regular as you wash your normal hair, and you may do a deep cleanse once per one or 2 months.. great video btw :D

[@81TrackMan]

It will be fun to see what you'll upload ^^

[@senbuvoltz1215]

You touched base on all your questions!! All that I had left lol. Thank you!!!

[@StonerDaKlown]

Such a genuine individual I can tell you’re very spiritual, Just by reading the room.. you’re also very informative thank you for taking the time out of your day.. 🤘🏽

[@JordanWright]

Nice video! I also get asked a lot of questions about my dreads so I made a similar video. I love your locks, they are so pretty!:)

[@emilysadventurousedits8872]

Thank you for this video; I'm considering getting dreads, and this was very informative and useful! (By the way, your dreadlocks look beautiful!!! They look very good on you!)

[@whocares8480]

I love your style😍😍💕💕

[@dtrez09]

honestly thanks i have watched so many videos about dreads, and you're the first to talk about cats. I have cats, and one of them already likes to chew hair. I can't imagine how much worse it would be with dreads.

[@kylarazielke]

Oh!sama Oh man that was just the tip of the iceberg, dreads are such natural cat toys they love them!

[@donnamillermcnutt]

Your locs are beautiful. I am not opposed to shaving my head, I actually do it often! I have thick healthy hair. I grow it for 3-4 years and then I shave it....donate the hair....and then start fresh. So when I had my dreads in 2012, after I was ready to have them out, I simply shaved my head. My hair is "wavy" but not super curly. HOWEVER, when I removed my dreads (by cutting them out, then shaving my head), my hair came back in SOOOO CURLY, it was crazy amazing!! I have an appointment with a loctician on Oct 24, 2020 to have them installed once again. They will be crocheted with extensions added. I'm not worried about any damage, because when it's time....they will be shaved off again. I have watched videos of people combing theirs out and that is just waaaaay too much work for me.

[@susannaskelton1294]

beautiful locks!!

[@Dreadheadjoe69]

You are absolutely adorable!

[@ronja_roverdatter]

I love your dreads! I'm planning on dreading my own head soon and I'm so excited gahhh. In your last video you said you wanted to travel more, it would be cool if you made a video about places you want to travel to and stuff c:

[@kylarazielke]

Thanks! It's such an exciting step to take! And my next video will actually be about a road trip I just took over New Years, almost finished it! :)

[@kiiabby]

so excited for you!

[@ko7356]

Great video! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Freiheitsliebende]

awesome and beautiful person ♥

[@therealfinnaspring8585]

You got my dream set right there

[@Xaforn]

If you ever want another healthy tip for your hair one I don’t see often talked about is Avocado oil infused with Rosemary. It’s super nutritious for the scalp and keeps the hair from drying out, they are less likely to break off. Great video, great hair.

[@eveline_xD]

I just don't get it that 6 people didn't like this video. You're awesome and your hair is perfect. 👍

[@brandih1121]

Seriously debating on dreads kuz my hair is so long and thick and everyone says it’s pretty but I’m not happy

[@meck6110]

Hi this is great thank you answers a lot of questions. Also wondering where did you get your Glasses? Thanking you 😊

[@kylarazielke]

Hi! Happy to help! I order all my glasses from a website called Zenni Optical :)

[@puisakura]

Did you do your own dreads? Or you let professional do it for you? I am still doing research about it. :) They look so beautiful and clean.

[@tantramantra1]

Beauty!

[@MiguelAl2937]

I was writing a comment...but then i saw you're getting marry already xD So i decide to change it and just tell u that u are incredible beautiful. I love your dreads and your stile.

[@corrinawhite5205]

How thick was ur hair before, do you get head achs from the weight

[@Corrans]

Can you not blowdry your dreads to speed up the drying time?

[@MotherlyEssence]

I love your glasses. Did u get them online? If so do u have a link? I got some cat eye glasses and I'm sending them back because they hurt lol.

[@kylarazielke]

Motherly Essence I got them off of a website called zenni optical! Amazing prices and you give them your measurements so that they'll fit your face perfectly 😊

[@juliahaney4104]

Your dreads are so nice tho

[@brandiebriley2404]

My down side to my dreads is that my husband doesn't play with my hair anymore. 😭😢 lol mine are a year this month! ✌ Btw LOVE your dreadlocks

[@kylarazielke]

Brandie Briley ugh yes I hated that part! My then boyfriend now husband was awesome though and helped massage my scalp and deep cleaning 🤗

[@nathaliesundeck3553]

Did your hair shrink a lot in the first 6 months/first year?

[@roosalehikoinen2107]

I've been thinking about getting dreadlocks, yours look amazing! I was wondering if it's possible to get your dreads dry faster if you blow dry them?

[@kylarazielke]

Roosa Lehikoinen Honestly I haven't tried but I've seen people on KZbin do it so maybe? 😜

[@Shaggy-lu6dz]

Blow drying can help dry the outter layer slightly effectively but if you want to dry dreads effectively a blow dryer wont work. Its easier to dry them by throwing some heavy metal on and headbanging every 5 or 10 mins for about a minute or 2.

[@eremas1359]

Do you mind if I ask you a question? I’ve absolutely loved dreadlocks since I was a teenager. But my hair is SO thick (it tends to grow OUT, now DOWN) that is seems impossible for me to ever get to the stage where my hair is long enough to have dreads, as I usually cut them because of the flakiness and itchiness. What do you think I should do? Should I just try to accept that dreadlocks may just not suit my hair type? Or is there something I can do? Thanks for your time.

[@kylarazielke]

Ere Mas You could look into using synthetic dreads that could be braided into your shorter hair, they still look awesome and you can take them out without having to shave your head or brush them out. Hope this helps 😊

[@Rageous_Potatus]

Anyone can start locs, go to a loctition and have them look at your hair. Lots of info on KZbin as well. But any hair type will loc up some take longer than others.

[@tinareed8763]

Hi Kylara I have had my dreads for 3 months. I am use to a bit of height at the top of my head as my head is an odd shape. Can you recommend any product that can help with volume or suggest a style.

[@kylarazielke]

Hey Tina! I know young dreads can be kind of frizzy with lots of bumps and loops. A couple ways I combated this was to palm roll dread wax into my hair to help with frizziness as well as help your dreads mature. A couple hair styles I liked were to wear wide headbands, or make a half-bun on the top of my head. As always though it takes time and patience for your dreads to look the way you'd like them to. Hope this helped! Take care :)

[@tinareed8763]

@@kylarazielke Thank you, your video was great.

[@FunnyBugBeesandWoodWorks]

your channel was doing great, so why no videos in 4 years? Did you decide KZbin wasnt for you? Loved the content and was sad to see the channel appears dead.

[@1213kira]

My scalp itches Dx I got my dreads 3 weeks ago and my scalp itched really bad for the first week...after a week the itchiness started going away however I still get itchiness sometimes and it can be very annoying

[@kylarazielke]

Did you use a knotting spray when you made your dreads? Most will irritate your skin for awhile afterwards. An itchy scalp will be a bit of a pain from now on though, it’s a burden we must carry. When I showered my dreads, I would give myself a good scalp massage with my finger tips and water. Avoid getting your dread shampoo or soap on your scalp as well, just along the length of the dreads. I hope this helps :)

[@Karla-uh6pv]

do you have extentions? What do you think about them?

[@kylarazielke]

Nope! It's all my natural hair although I do get asked a lot because my hair root colour don't match the rest of the length. I like the look of extensions too though!

[@wingsonmyback1]

Hi where have you been? waiting for an up date on your dreads

[@kylarazielke]

wingsonmyback1 Hey! Unfortunately I've had some things come up in my personal life which has caused me to put KZbin on a back burner but I plan on making a full comeback next month! 😊

Why did you get rid of your dreads?

So if my hair is long enough, I can get dreadlocks instantly rather than wait months for my hair to lock?

[@kylarazielke]

Rick Totally! I used a dreadlock making kit from dreadheadhq.com to make mine.

[@Erick-cx8vq]

How can you tie the dreads into sort of a bun, but not really a bun? Like that messy tied look?
