I have watched a ton of crochet dread instruction videos on here and yours is by far the best. Gonna use it when i start my extensions. Thank you!!

[@riversmith9982]

By far the best dreadlock tutorial! I've been dreading my hair for a few months and am still only halfway there and this helped me so much!!! Thanks Flower!!!🌺

[@Briannashihadeh]

yay that makes it all worth it love! it makes me so happy to hear that! all the love!

[@ItsLeviOsaah]

I'm planning to get dreads again, and I'm discovering your method who looks waaaay more healthy for hair and way less time consuming in the making ! Thanks, I'll try to use this technique !

[@joviehawthornbrowne7989]

I've watched so many tutorials and was NOT figuring out how to go around the hair nicely, but with your description it finally clicked! thank you!

[@ladyjadestone9218]

This is the best video on how to do this I have seen so far. I tried to dread my hair last year and it was such a fail and total bummer. I also had horrible dandruff.

[@Briannashihadeh]

I feel you love, it took awhile for me to find a friend help me with mine, it can be hard to do it yourself, hope your having a beautiful day!

[@lisaweber8539]

I just did mine and wow your tip helped them lock. I tried the rip and twist but will full results. Super happy!

[@elliefun]

Omg thanks for making this video. This was so helpful. I'm going to try this technique once my new crochet hook comes in. Tryin the same size you used here. I started mine using a 1.5mm crochet hook & I can definitely say I'm having trouble with maintenance because of my large hook. I can't wait to tighten them & start my 3rd row of dreads ❤️

[@Briannashihadeh]

yess! so happy this helped! this was my point! i knew i could be everywhere to show everyone and help! this is everything to me thank you!

[@sarahsloan4456]

OMFG...I'm absolutely loving the wall!! Watching you, I couldn't help but think how cool your crochet hook dreading technique would be as an ASMR video with an up-close high quality microphone! 😊

[@pamelahinchee8012]

2 Months in to My Dreads. Starting out with hair down to my butt. Mine were done exactly this method. I've watched so many videos researching. This is by far the most straightforward and filmed well. Glad I came across it. I am loving my hair but my loose hair is SO LONG! Trying to remain patient. For being so young, my dreads are firm and thick especially at the ends. I was left with 10+ inch wispy ends that have slowly started drawing up. Trusting the Process. Thank You for Sharing.

[@rainbowlotus8320]

i can only recommend to not tie your hair up in a bun often, as it will break those wispy soft tips over time.

Come here after watching another dread tech used your vid. So good thank you

[@iLiveToDoWhatiLove]

That’s so amazingly detailed! I remember as a kid I always wanted dreads n I was told I just shouldn’t wash my hair n not brush it n I’d have dreads like wallah! Haha I didn’t know I was being messed with for the longest time.. like until 6 years ago 😂 so my whole childhood I would occasionally settle with tiny braids all over my head lol looks great lotus! Flower.. you’re making my hands cramp lol do you ever experience that from dread work?

[@hughbrame4193]

I wish you was near Mobile, AL lol I need you 2 do my dreads! 🤘

Yey! That's the vid I was looking for! You make it look soo easy! I will have a go, I've started with the twist n rip.. with backcimbing.. I will now try what you have done.. 👍 it works eh! Xx thank you 😁

[@Divin333ternal]

Fabulous demonstration! Thank You Flower 🌺

[@helennicoleflores]

These look so amazing!!

[@MalicaitheStrange]

imo the .5 mm hook is actually faster because it grabbing just the hairs you mean to grab lends to eficiency which makes the prcess faster overall great work by the way! I know this is an old video but still looks great

what is the shortest hair length to start dreadlocks and your wall looks amazing, nice job

[@Briannashihadeh]

if you can have it in your palm and be able to close your hand around the hair and grab it. if you can see the hair clearly, its long enough :)

[@reynaldoalbao744]

I love that way you took at me☺️

Hey Flower! 🌼 I love your videos and your hair! Could you post a video about how you wash and care for your dreads? Thank you!!

[@grasshopper2433]

Omfg do you ever come to the east coast? I would LOVE for you to dread and extend my hair. I've had them before but they've turned out quite how I would like them. You are simply amazing Flower, hope to meet you one day!! 🥰

[@Izzy-fr1zu]

I was wondering if it is possible to use (partial) dreadlocks to make the hair look fuller? I have very fine hair which makes my length look thin, no matter how healthy it is. I was thinking that I could maybe use hair extensions to make bigger dreadlocks, but I'm a little worried how this would look when the dreads grow out. I propably would end up with thick length and thin roots...? Do you have any recommondations how to get as much volume as possible with pairtal dreads?

[@denasewell]

will you do a more in depth video on how to add/repair a dread

[@Briannashihadeh]

I can do that love :) repairs are fun to do!

[@Godishere247]

Awesome job you are incredible

[@jaygeo8661]

Hey I have a question. I tried to do your cage technique with the needle. It seems the lil stitches I make just come u done. I'm not sure what to do with the initial loop that u start with. Do u switch the loop e everytime u pull hair down or do u keep that first loop everytime? I hope this made sense lol

[@Briannashihadeh]

If you are interconnecting the hair you can have it connected and worked through an inch down the hair and wrap more going over it back and fourth I can always do a root maintenance only video to have it show up close and focus on that alone

[@YardBrah]

Love it! 🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@Mysticforest_]

Hey, sometimes my crochet hook gets "caught" in a loop of hair that I'm bringing down and the hair in the hook won't crochet anymore because it's caught. Do I just let go of that hair and start new right under it? It leaves a tiny little loop sticking out. Not sure if I'm explaining correctly..

I have alotta trouble doin' my own hair because of my Arthritis is so bad. And I don't have anybody that will do it for me. And they want to much money to do it at the hair dressers.

The best way is to do nothing to your hair. Don't comb it, don't twist it. Use a sponge and cold water and let your dreads form naturally the way they want to form. That way they are unique to u. No offense to any other ways tis is just the most natural and authentic way of locs. Especially if u are looking for that spiritual journey with them

[@sophiawoods2970]

do you have to be from a certain ethnicity to have dreadlocs

Nope. All hair types can dread. No one can own a hairstyle
