[@erianesmohnson3703]

I love how you broke this all down! Just in case this helps anyone reading through the comments I have straight fine but thick hair and I highly recommend only using rip and twist to start your dreads. I ended up removing my first set because of the crochet method!!! It looks great at first but within two to three months became my biggest regret. The ones that were only rip and twisted annoyed me at first but were doing wonderfully at the 6 month mark. I am going to start another set after my hair grows back a few inches from where I cut it (the crochet method also made it a major headache to remove them). Happy dreading everyone!!!

I have very straight hair and used the crochet hook method. I'm coming up on a year and couldn't be happier with the result. The only thing that was even slightly an issue was that for the first couple months, they looked unnatural and they were very tight. After the first few months though I got through the "ugly" phase and now almost a year later I'm so happy with them and would recommend this method for straight hair any day!

Hey I think you are great! I’m glad I found you. I had dreads in my 20’s, before KZbin. 😂 we did lots of stuff to try and make them happen. Ultimately I bought some beer an had friends over. They helped me section it off and twist/ripped my way into dread-dom. I had to chop them for personal reasons. I have 4 kids now 20 years later and I’m watching your channel enjoying the great info and positivity! I may do half dreads? After my kids my hair turned from bone straight to 2C 3A 😂 Plus some grey sparkles! Anyways, you have a wonderful day!

[@Sakina78]

Dredlocks.. When we use the term we are essentially referencing the way in which Europeans looked down on African natural hair styles Europeans thought natural intertwined hair was disgusting and disturbing thus the term “dread” being associated with locks. Let that sink in, when you use the term ‘dreadlocks’

[@YNT2X]

Or u could just shut up🤦🏽

[@InChristIDelight]

i dont think most people, especially in the community, still view the term this way

[@meganjames1034]

I know this video is older. I have a weird combo of hair types, but overall I'd say I'm maybe 2A, and most of my hair has zero texture!! Not owned a brush in over 10 years, and barely need to comb it because it just stays so smooth! It took me over 50 hours (over the course of 2 weeks) to get through all of my hair. I did twist&rip with crochet and interlocking, and I killed my shoulders back-combing too. Each dread took nearly an hour; longer if I had to pause to do anything else. Never been one to wash my hair often, so my scalp is used to me going long period without washing (like you talked about in a different video). I lightly washed and dried my hair in the afternoon and allowed it to dry mostly in the sun. The next morning, almost all of my dreads were half unlocked! Took me another 4 days just to get them retwisted. My husband has been picking at me because I went from doing nearly zero maintenance on my hair to spending all my downtime to maintain dreads lol.

I did freeform 3c hair took forever.... Sadly I'm my journey I didn't like them and cut them out and then later appreciated them..... But realized it was me I had to accept

[@louel83]

I just started my first set with 2 strand twists on 3c 4a hair. If there would ever be a reason for me to cut all my hair off, I'd start my second set free forming. I think there is a big difference in how they develop in long hair vs short hair

[@ms.parker9]

Hey! I think from his diagram, I might have 3c or 4a as well. My plan is to freeform. I would like to ask, if you could explain what you meant about locing and long hair. I ask because my hair is probably a few inches past my bra strap. It grew so much not really doing anything to it. What is your opinion about freeforming. With this length? Thank you ❤

[@louel83]

Ninti 999 they seem to get much thicker when you start with longer hair most of the time. There is a free former on KZbin who started her first set with longer hair and got really thick locs that time around. The second set she started from a buzz cut and here locs are much thinner, without doing any type of seperation herself

[@ms.parker9]

@@louel83 thank you for your insight. I'm really excited to get started.

[@louel83]

Ninti 999 The KZbinrs name is the queen po Yes! It's exciting! It's a really exciting process. It's not just physical, because you get to learn so much about yourself, because of all the changes you have to go through.

@@louel83 I follow her. Queen Po is awesome!! So inspirational! I agree totally. My decision to loc my hair is a spiritual one.

[@MrSocko-bh1jb]

Just to add something nobody ever seems to mention: Dread locks are like sponges, if they are soaked, it can take days for them to dry properly, depending on how fat they are.. Ok, maybe not multiple days, but 1

[@haloscotland2490]

Hey Gunter, as someone who's about to start locking his hair (white Scottish person btw with type 1 hair) would you be able to go through the "washing process" when you have newly t&w+ch dreads. In your last vid you said "the more you wash the quicker it locks" but how do I wash without my hair opening up and going straight again? Help would be appreciated

[@revengeeeee]

You could just section it up and put it in a few buns that way it won't become undone

[@OfMiceAndMegabytes]

Informative.

[@LakeyiaJoy]

This was VERY informative! I appreciate this! I decided to do semi-freeform with 2 strand twists. And this Wednesday I'll be hitting the 2 month mark. If I would have seen this before I started my locs, I MIGHT have done instant locs but I'm doing semi freeform for a reason. There's a reason I need to go through "the journey". :-) Bless up!

[@yet.4587]

Did your hair look straight when short? I think mine could be 2c as well...

[@GhostPlaysGames]

yeet offcial yeah it didn’t start to get wavy until about 6 inches and curled up more the longer I let it grow. But from the root to that 6 inches or so is still the most straight. If that makes sense

[@jjbowman4653]

I mean technically, but straight hair is (typically) very elastic so with that in mind it is braided tether but may come out becaue it isnt locked up
