[@DeejayJohnstone]

+Mike Conrast What's your problem?

[@ravengstrom5122]

+Mike Conrast Do you have a problem with that compliment?

[@maryyy168]

so true!!

[@mayapapaya1198]

I don't even like dreads or septum piercings but geez you are the prettiest woman I've ever seen!! And you changed my mind about dreads and piercings

[@tseringdhondup7248]

Me 2

[@pkcax]

how do you even have the patience to do this

[@maryyy168]

exactly!

[@ArcadiaJade]

+kaefitzmag I would say she does it once a month or once every couple months, depending on how fast her hair grows.

[@leahheart5833]

Great video!! I really appreciate how simply you describe how to do it. Also, I adore your death hawk!! My only correction for you is this: (I'm a licensed cosmetologist) I promise you are putting way more stress on your hair and causing a lot more damage & breakage by doing this with wet hair. Hair is a fabric that's very delicate. When the hair is wet it is way more stretchy, so when you put tension on it when you're braiding, it will be 90% more likely to cause breakage as the hair dries and shrinks back to its normal length.

[@ch527kerosene]

+Leah Heart I actually just heard about this, thank you for commenting!! I'm gonna try doing an install with dry hair next time, but honestly, if it's too difficult for me I'll continue installing with wet hair. But fingers crossed I get the hang of it. :) (P.S. Everyone else reading comments, read this one!)

[@leahheart5833]

+ch527kerosene I'm very glad to hear you'll give it a shot!! 😄 I just wanted to help you maintain that excellent hair do!! It's lovely!! I'm going to get my hair done into a big sidecut on one side, kinda like +GlamAndGore (Mykie). ❤️ Also, I make wool Dreadlocks!!! My company name is Dread Cove. I'd be happy to cut you a deal on wool dreadlocks if you would be willing to do a video review on my dreads! Let me know!

[@esmelesmey7689]

is no one gonna talk about how cute she is?

[@kasssmothermon5765]

Esme Lesmey same! she is stunning omg she could literally be Andy Biersacks SISTER

[@ulyssesclayton2546]

Esme Lesmey actually 98% of the comments on all of her videos are just that xD

[@lkblondie8061]

Esme Lesmey no a lot of people are gonna talk about it

[@AlexYBITW]

You really do have a beautiful face. Even if I'm not a fan of nose piercing, still looks good on you !

[@lillylullabye]

AHHHH i never noticed until now but my friend Viktor made your dreads! i was looking for places and totally forgot that they are Teacups and Tentacles! So excited!

[@kristacedergren7133]

I've watched about 20 different DE dread install videos and this is the best by far! They key is that braiding on the TOP dread, thank you for sharing!

[@ch527kerosene]

+Krista Cedergren Yay! You're welcome, I'm glad it helped :D

[@eziraphale8436]

[@chandlermemekenzie9899]

[@KaraPurpleGlue]

Thank youuuuu! I have been trying to find a way to make my dreads stay cause they slip just like you were talking about. Awesome vid, you look great with dreads girl!

[@soapshield5010]

Damn, just found this channel today and fell in love with this girl. Like the cutest one i've ever seen, seriously.

[@spendabiru]

[@lyssanicole5411]

i love all your hair videos!

[@marcelinalobato7829]

How u do your hair is AWSOME I love the death hawk look

[@Sunshine.3232]

This is really awesome it inspires me so much!!! The directions are pretty clear :)

[@KittyKanuckles]

0:40 shampoo comb & parting comb (which a metal tailed comb is recommended and you should part with the comb side, it is easier and won't damage your hair follicles) just so you know c:

[@Char98]

this is so cool I love watching these

[@jadadaniels7226]

I really want to do this! Do you know if they will work for African American hair? You look stunning by the way! Love your style!!!!:3

[@ch527kerosene]

Yes, they do! And thank you!

[@Holbrook_B]

this would probably make your hair break off. a better method for us would be to crochet it in.

[@dillonwhitlocc1450]

jada daniels african american....you mean black? the "african" was lost about a hundred years ago or so

[@KaiRoxie]

jada daniels No it would most likely lock up or break your hair

[@HizJohnnyShinning]

Dillon Whitlocc and???

[@onyxfaith]

Wool dreads are so much more comfortable. I'm so happy Tez mentioned them or is have never thought to use wool. They look great on you!

[@onyxfaith]

"or *I'd* have never..." autocorrect strikes again.

[@ch527kerosene]

+onyxfaith Thank you! And same! It's basically thanks to Tez that I tried dreads in the first place.

[@onyxfaith]

ch527kerosene Tez and Sokolum were the ones that finally got me wearing synth dreads. But I couldn't handle the Kanekolon (spelling that always confuses me. lol) So when Tez mentioned the wool ones, I was hooked!

[@lorahdaphne3599]

can you please make a care video for your dreads, like how long you keep them in, how you look after them! I'm so intrigued :) love these vids x

[@NickAndersson]

thnks for that tutorial it helped me a lot. I soon will try to make it my self ^^

[@d7v7s326]

You should totally be a hairstylist! much props on your style!!

[@merrynsmith1156]

You're hair is goals before you put in the dreads and after holy crap. You look so nice 😍

[@ch527kerosene]

+Merryn Smith Awh thanks :)

[@JessicasCozyCreations]

most helpful video I've found on this subject. thanks!

[@miladwaleed5921]

Your gorgeous like literally

[@Mikmaqdrag]

Awesome video.

[@savvhornsby2038]

what's the difference between the synthetic ones and wool ones besides the material?

[@christinamarshall8993]

that is so kool I normally wouldn't do this to my hair but honestly this would probably be something I might try.

[@amitycrow1102]

You have incredible patience

[@Carrorolen]

I finally ordered the red, black and white dreads I'm gonna wear for Christmas - so excited! This will be the first time installing dreads for me, so videos like this are very helpful :) Do you have any tips on how to install the dreads on the back of your head?? It doesn't really seem like the easiest thing to do on your own.... xP

[@jamieapplegate8875]

I just ordered my own set synthetic dreads :) No wild colors yet cause I don't want to shock my family too much so I just got them in my natural color, but I do see crazy fun colors in the near future :D I can't wait to get them!

[@mariellewilson6247]

You are a beautiful human. That's all.

[@epbrey1991]

Eyo! I was wondering about big do you make each section? I jus ordered my first set of dreads and cant wait to put them in!

[@cleohadgreeneyes]

These are super rad, such vibrant colors! Not sure if you have foundation on, but you look pretty, not that you need make up.

[@ch527kerosene]

+cleohadgreeneyes I was wearing make-up yeah. But thanks! lol

[@madiewebster6219]

dude those r my favorite colors I SO want those

[@sinndymorr6358]

Great explanation! Thanks!

[@dropbearzzz]

Love the new dreds they are so pretty 😍 I've always loved galaxy colours. What kind of makeup do you wear when you go to the rav's?

[@ch527kerosene]

+Sidney Anne Thanks! As for make-up, check out my HTID vlogs or my grwm video. Or insta.

[@familyluv1762]

That's smart that you wet the hair cuz when wet it's stretches and shrinks when dry, so that would tighten and make a more secure install. Have you ever tried the blanket stitch?. I was thinking about pulling the left over ends threw a crimping bead and pulling crimping link bead inside of dread with crochet needle to hide it. I'm going to try it..no one has done it yet. Good video doll.

[@elaineremains]

don't wool dreads get super heavy when you wash them? which do you like better? wool or synth? i'm binge watching your videos!

[@briannahensel4664]

I think my friend should get dreads, she always likes to try new unique hair styles. she did have long brown hair now she has shorter hair that she dyed black and purple and got a death hawk.

[@jordyns8897]

This is so helpful!!!

[@DD-dq8lu]

You're so pretty and I love your hair

[@shoobzblogsxx5711]

its so cool going to try it 👍

[@makeupmermaid22]

Hi do you like wool or synthetic dreds more, I'm getting my first set and you're the person who really inspired me to get them.

[@ch527kerosene]

+makeupmermaid22 Synthetic

[@arleequinn5524]

TezManiaTV! I watch you both because I love your hair, you've actually inspired me to re-shave my death hawk :D

[@ch527kerosene]

+Arlee Quinn Oh my gosh, that's awesome! :D

[@arleequinn5524]

[@lisabrassesco1160]

You inspire me!!

[@amyyes3323]

you should do a makeup or at least an eyeliner wing tutorial :)

[@heatherd2395]

Yes yes yes!!!

[@oskar0940]

Hey i was wondering how many dreads do you have in? Btw great tutorial, you look amazing :)

[@gymnastintrainingdiys5658]

Love your channel❤️

[@marita8533]

Can you do a synthetic vs wool dread demo, just curious which one you find better, and works best for you

[@coresmores4304]

heyyyy omggg i love your vids.Keep doing what your doing :)))

[@ch527kerosene]

+Core Smores Thank you!

[@violette3302]

Omg ur so beautiful 😍😍💗🙌🏻

[@rosiepore1421]

where do you buy your double ended dreads? x

[@whomeye2168]

How long did it take you to install them with your shaved sides? I bought some and waiting for a couple more weeks to install. This is my first time. 😊 I've been watching the technique to get it into my melon so as not to get frustrated trying to look at your vids while doing it. I just wondered how much time I should set aside to complete it. Any help would be immensely appreciated. 😁

[@emiwoods4217]

Your so pretty ,and talented I wonder how long it takes to do those dreads

[@RoyalCube]

Would it be a okay to take them out every night before or any time you wash your hair? It seems like a tedious thing to do every day but idk if I'd want to wear them every day if I don't have to once they're in... And does it matter how long your hair is as long as its not too short?

[@yuquid]

how do you take care of your dreads? (do you wash them, how long do they usually last and all that) you're so gorgeous btw :)

[@lauratanner6493]

How long did it take you to do this?

[@prihaps]

What an easy tutorial!

[@ArtemisSkye2229]

when putting the dread in can you do the double twist on the bottom side instead of on top?

[@xxblackdiamondxz1381]

Hey your my favorite hairstylest youyuber but I got long purple hair and im trying to learn how to do this but it hard to do the back of your. Own head i got long hair and I learn to do what she doing but if you run out of hair you put a rubber band right

[@caitlinjones5058]

How many dreads do you use? I'm thinking about doing some de dreads, but I've never had dreads before, so I don't know what I should buy!

[@luvspurple1969]

Okay stupid question.......do you actually wait 3-4 weeks to wash your hair OR can you wash your hair with them in? I was just curious it would literally drive me INSANE to wait that long to wash my hair the itching omg.......it's just to horribly "itchy" just to even THINK about it!!!! xD Anyway I was just curious LOVE the colors!!!!!!!

[@kandisswilliams2719]

Yes you can wash your hair as often as normal but don't use conditioner or else the dreads will slip out

[@robbieblack2473]

do you have any advice on how to do it towards the back of your head if your hair is shorter

[@rebeccamisa8846]

bell'idea... io uso l'extension, quelle di capelli sintetici. Faccio i dreadlock alle extension e poi le attacco ai miei capelli.

[@alexzepeda9034]

How long can you leave dreads in like this? I just bought some and about to dread them in soon. Need to know how often to take them off

[@jisatsukoneko8547]

I actually have a mohawk similar to yours, I was wondering how many did you use?

[@angelwitchywildingrocco]

does it pull?? i have the same hairstyle and i have had a set of hot pink synthetic dreadlocks sat in a drawer cause i didnt know how to put them in lol

[@FriickyFresh101]

they look amazing! are they lighter than the synthetics? also, off topic, but what's the diameter of your septum ring? it's such a nice size haha.

[@ch527kerosene]

+FriickyFresh101 They're way lighter dry, but when I wash my hair they're holy-hell heavy. I'm not sure on my diameter, I'm sorry! All I know is it's a 14g

[@xandruhhh66]

do you braid them in as if you were braiding regular hair?

[@mrsfreakinsweet12]

Yo this channel is dope

[@elliesmith9964]

ur sooooooooooo pretty and I love it when u have dreads

[@casualenby7793]

so do you install synthetics the same way as wool

[@myriamp3962]

thank you is so awesome

[@rosaline_womble]

This is so cool...I wish I could afford to get these.

[@dovakhiin4]

if you have 20-40 bucks and a lot of time and patience, you can make your own. otherwise they are pricey.

[@natalymuzikarova7218]

Can I ask you, how you wash your hairs with dreads?

[@kat6748]

how long do you keep those in for? are they really hard to wash???

[@katelyngrace721]

would it be ok to swim in a pool/ocean with dreads

[@symairabolden1036]

just a quick question. why keep the small sideburn? Now I;m not judging but I was just wondering.

[@johanna32]

I kinda want to do this but does it work on short hair?

[@veiraweronika8915]

thanx for that video! finally I know how do this! 😂❤

[@laylared4860]

Is it more difficult to wash your hair with these in or is it basically just taking care you don´t rip them out ?

[@sarascott846]

Can you put in some white pink and blue dreds

[@AshLey-gu8ce]

I want to do this but my hair is super thick. How many should I get? Your so awesome and pretty. 🔥

[@samycrazzy7232]

Una pregunta, como haces tus rastas? Y cuántas son las que ocupas?

[@jjsimon6496]

Will this work for natural hair, and does it fuse?

[@JA-yv3dn]

I love it! Your so pretty!!😍😜😘🙃

[@katieoles6269]

How long, would you say, it takes to put in all of your dreads?

[@punkrocky4089]

How many dreads do you need for just like what you're doing just the top of your head?

[@kallyanimations7286]

so cool stile heir where you get that hair ??????????????????????

[@mariaelenazecca6938]

Scusme Kath, i'm an italian girl and i don't understand english very well. Can i wash the hair with the dreads? Or is it a problem? Thank you

[@jackiesmith2697]

I have double end dreads and there just sitting in my room because I don't know how to put them in. because my hair is so long my hair ends right above my butt. how would you put dreads in very long hair?

[@ch527kerosene]

+Jackie Smith Box braids! There should be a video tutorial on that somewhere.

[@jackiesmith2697]

I've tried looking for videos and I haven't seen any really good ones

[@ch527kerosene]

Hmm, try posting in Dreadlock Kingdom, it's a dread discussion group on facebook and people will be able to help you.

[@jackiesmith2697]

+ch527kerosene thanks so much and love your videos

[@delaneym.7412]

You could try a blanket stitch braid, Doctored Locks has a great tutorial on how to do it. It shortens the amount of hair down the dread by a truly significant amount.

[@Imnotme618]

Love it!

[@manos8632]

My hair are 16 cm,if I put on the dreads they will be ok or they will slip?
