How to Make Dreads Thicker | Get Dreads

[@slantdwave]

yo I'm a minute in and she's been pulling her hair nonstop. the look on the lady's face is like, Please stop pulling my hair

[@claralotuw4103]

I like your hairstyle

[@TheCandycane973]

She took FOREVER to explain this shit??! I thought she was gonna pull out some needle and thread...a crocheting tool...wtf lady?? Locks do NOT just combine that easily.

[@TheCandycane973]

Tayquan Pinellas That's you doing your own dreads.. And good on you. You can twist them up however and as many times a day as you like until they lock. But, I think this demonstration sucks for people who do not know how or don't have time to do their own dreadlocks and pay to have their dreads combined and/or they can only make it every two weeks or once a month. It doesn't work like that for alot of clients I have personally had. Every mane is different. But, I would categorize this demonstration as more of an at home maintenance routine...that involves two people.... And takes forever to complete. 😣😁😁

[@lashawnahunter2177]

Candace Shade I agree with the taking FOREVER part 😤 however I have combined two of mines near the same spot and I DIDNT use ANY TOOLS I literally two strand them and within weeks they combined on their own! I also didn't use any rubber bands Hopes this helps 🤗

Lol i was thinking the same wasted my time 😂😂

[@PlayerJay425]

To save everyone some time take one of the two dreads u want to combine and run it thru the root of the other dread and twist. After that u can just leave it and they will start to grow as one dread, the tips won't be combined but the roots of the two will

[@darianricks2050]

This is how you get stress on your hair. How alopecia can start. If hair isn't wet she'll get alopecia and thinning of dreads and damaging of roots real quick. And TBH, she could have combined her hair with the interlocking or braiding them together.

[@ellarae7575]

darian ricks I just got ready to comment that the models hair is dry when I ran into your post. SO DITTO THAT!

[@VeveMuse]

She don't even have locks. that is why she has to use rubber bands. When I double weak locks, u just tie them together and they will grow into one bigger lock. Never trust someone to do your locks who wears a wig, and don't wear there hair naturally... ASE

[@DirtyFastingLife]

You can also just loop it at the root.. and that seems to work as well and you don't have to twist it alot. I have found twisting too much and using dyes will break your locks off.

RRell Mishelle "socio-religious movement started in Harlem, NY by Marcus Garvey found an enthusiastic following amongst the Black population of Jamaica....The followers of this movement called themselves "Dreads," signifying that they had a dread, fear, or respect for God. Emulating Hindu and Nazarite holymen, these "Dreads" grew matted locks of hair, which would become known to the world as "Dreadlocks" - the hair-style of the Dreads." www.knottyboy.com/learn/dreadlock-history/

They're called dreadlocks

[@NO1SLOOKIN]

+Lamp Shade no they are not theynare called locs.. there is nothing dreadful about our hair.. go do your research white ppl were afraid of the men with locs so they dreaded them which came up with the term dreadlocs.. (to quickly sum it up) youre welcome

[@TheCandycane973]

Yes...I know that...and Rasta have no problem with it...in fact we revel in it...WE kept it (do your research) because it's actually quite fitting. Dread means a great fear or apprehension. If they're fearful of my crown, Dem should be! You're welcome!

[@NO1SLOOKIN]

+Lamp Shade no thank you.. thats your opinion nothing dreadful about us period

[@TheCandycane973]

Yes, there is. Own it. If we're not feared then, what are we? Smiling and tap dancing begging society to view my people as passive pushovers? No thank you. Don't cherry pick this part of a culture that you most likely do not understand. It's rude to Rastafari and it's cultural appropriation.

Don't you need like creams and stuff for this. And rubber bands are bad for regular hair so I don't think they will be great on dread locs either.

dang she twisted the dread for days

[@firstnamelastname8563]

I did dreadlocks in my hair because I was tired of washing conditioning, drying styling and my hair EVERY day. With 3 kids i dont have time for that. I look gross with short hair...so i just did the dread thing. I see where yall feel like im infringing on a style BUT...they look so completely different i had not even thought about it until after i had done them. Locs on African American people are neat and beautiful. Dreadlocks on Caucasian hair generally is a very hard look to achieve and makes us look kinda....homeless for a year or so. I just wanted to try it out as a journey of my own. I wasnt unconsciously trying to steal a style but can you blame me!? Would YOU want to be a nerdy white girl with flat boring hair? Lol!

[@vampedkitty]

Wait so, did you stop washing and conditioning your hair? I don't think you can infringe on a hair style, every culture has had some form of locks.

[@tommiegreen]

[@dubbeard5792]

Tommie Green I care, my nigga, dreads are the natural hairstyle of every human being, it's not a black only thing.

[@imhimmazi7999]

***** whites can lock their hair it just takes a longer time to lock up because there hair texture is different. if u tie two curly strings together and 2 straight strings together, they will both lock up but of course the curly one will lock faster

[@missswol]

You do have a point ...lol... maybe you should try a short pixie cut with wispy pieces in the nape and fringe area

[@shaunjohnson8474]

She is so beautiful! 😍

[@simonjesuit3844]

It's a shame that no one has a method for getting lint out of dreadlocks. It doesn't matter how nice you cover them, what nice fabric you use (silks and satins) you will STILL get lint in your dreadlocks over the years. I wear wraps and turbans most of the time because I find my dreads look terrible at about 20 years old and full of lint!

[@terahwilson2669]

look up chescalocs here on youtube. she does a few tutorials on lint removal. there's a natural rinse you can make and soak your hair in.

[@bjmills1981]

If you use bee wax.. Stop using it.. I wash my hair once every two weeks and i do keep my hair wrapped up...

[@DustySoulLtd]

Baking soda/apple cider vinegar rinse and a soft bristle brush should do the trick unless they are matted down into your locks.If it is, then it may be best to dye them.

[@keyhottoddy]

Brush your locs! Start from the top and work your way down.. That's how I get the lint out.Brushing them will massage your scalp also

[@brittneer8940]

Wash frequently, brush, avoid oil on the loc shaft, dry hair with diffuser or under dryer instead of a towel, cover hair before taking off ur shirt pulling it over you head can leave behind debris, detox (acv & lemon diluted) frequently (monthly). Retwist with water only

[@itomirawson]

im in a similar boat, my dreads are few and slim atm, if you give them time they thicken up, tone down on the crochet hooking only do it if they start to loop and just let them mature is my recommendation i wish i'd opted for more dreadlocks over longer ones, if you have any friends thinking of getting em the thinner you get them the more they'll cover your scalp if you build them quite compact that is :)

[@ellarae7575]

The model's hair is terribly dry and stiff in ALL of your videos. Locs shouldn't look that way. I hate to thumbs down a video but rarely do I find your videos helpful. My suggestion is to get more training in natural hair. And make sure the info you give out is complete and well informed. Moisture is one of the most important aspects of keeping healthy natural hair. If you know that, then show your audience that you know what you are doing and that you are a reputable source of info. Skipping the moisture stage is a big NO-NO and you can lose many of us in the loc'd community for that mistake. There's a difference between "hair styling" and "hair care". Good Luck Out There!

[@DeYAHYsrael]

Our Hair is Biblically Based: "Ezekiel 8:3." Locks. Do you know the meaning of 'dread? = AWFUL!!! "We as a nation of People Who Wear This 'Beautiful Style" need to Stop Allowing Other nations to Tell US who WE Are or describe Our Hair Texture." (We Tell Them!" I Like Her Beautiful Head Of Locks Sister. You Did A Beautiful JOB!"

[@KunoichiL3e]

DeYAH Ysrael locks of hair is a general term for any gathering of hair (last I checked Goldie locks wasnt sporting a head of golden dreads) regardless of texture, not specifically dreadlocks, so no 'locs' arent biblical. Dreadlocks came from indians in India and became popular in the US because of the rasta movement in the caribbean... which is also where the word 'dreadlocks' comes from, because those in the caribbean who were against the rastas would say their hair looks unkempt and dreadful cause true dreads arent sectioned into neat rows and twisted, they're just left to naturally dread up on their own. so the slang term dreads/dreadlocks was formed...
