[@MisstressMourtisha]

This is the easiest quickest tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you 💖

[@MeekFro]

Thank you for watching!!! ♥️

[@andromeda6803]

I've made these before. One tip is to use an iron and spray bottle. These look great. The process is excruciating depending on the length. I used 96" kanekelon hair. Took me 3 days. I love faux locs so it's worth it

[@brooklynbonds3466]

nice tip cause i dont have a flat iron where im at but i really want to start these as soon as i can

[@charlesbush1166]

Wow, another great tip!

[@mwendapoleee]

U mean for clothes ?mine has lots of steam so it's perfect.

[@lillustpotion]

96?!! I need to see that!

[@JaviOsei]

Thank you so much for this. This is dope. I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere and I found it for $370 on easy. So this was a lifesaver! Thank you!!!!!

[@deniseelliott864]

Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I've been experimenting with different styles, and I came across your channel and loving it! Keep slaying girl!

[@brooklynbonds3466]

yassss, i love this!! now i can do my own locs thank youuuuu

[@charlesbush1166]

Very intelligent sis, what a great idea! God bless u!

[@HairstylesbyCarol]

Thank you so much your video has been the most detailed and easy to understand, and your dreads look awesome!

[@kayla-marie9562]

This is brilliant.

[@rosawilliams1728]

Wow that looks great.

[@missempress2044]

I needed this 😩

[@legacyjonee]

Amazing😍 thank you!

Thanks. This was so helpful

[@casedrasutton-pierre6522]

Your voice is so relaxing.

[@wildhalo2769]

I was thinking the same thing as I was watching her video. She had me in a trance!😃

[@tarellepierre3839]

I love your video. Very informative but i would love to see how you install them. Is it possible for you to dip a video showing your installation procedure?

[@veraa7008]

I've been looking for this video 😍😍😍

[@griseldadenerval4994]

Thank you so much! Great tutorial, beautiful lady❤

[@shawtatl]

Amazing. You did a beautiful job......

[@MeekFro]

Thanks so much!!

[@claudiajeanpierre3098]

Thank you for the video. Well done

[@mikeyantis]

You do a great, very professional video! Clear instructions, good camera work. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much!

Debra Yantis awww thanks so much!! Means a lot!

[@MissRenee_X]

Love love love ty!!!

[@dysharmony3831]

I just want to say you are absolutely beautiful 🥰 Thanks for this video. My process is so much longer and tiresome.

[@MeekFro]

What’s your process? & thank you so much ♥️

[@carolinekasungu8834]

Nice just what I wanted

[@MaryJaneMcPot5]

so i've seen this method and the regular method like you would make a dread out of real hair, and then seal in hot water, this is faster definitely but i will be doing it for the first time and i really dont wanna ruin the synthetic hair :/ might try with one dread im kinda scared HAHA

[@myalewis8064]

Thank you so much. I knew a black woman would come up with this. I love being black.

[@robingriffin42]

Mya Lewis, this is not new, maybe not common on youtube but not new. As to who came up with this method, I don't think it was a black person, it;s neither here nor there...whether a black or white person came up with it.

[@Original-Michiko]

@@robingriffin42 Black woman definitely did lol. Dr. Kari...

[@robingriffin42]

@@Original-Michiko I'm making reference to what Mya Lewis said and no, she was not the first person. Maybe for goddess locs but not this. It was been done long before and as I said before, it just wasn't popular, so who whosoever made it popular, the attention is on them.

[@casswashwash1070]

Robin Griffin no one was doing this for faux locs just those stiff synthetic dreads.

[@robingriffin42]

@@casswashwash1070 not true. Do your research. Look up *DIY synthetic dreadlocks* and not faux locs and you'll see. I know this because I went on a journey (I'm a research junkie) trying to find new methods of false locs because I really love the style but the weight is crazy...and came across several methods. You also have esty shops that sell them. The whites and blacks (probably even Indians) wear them. Check it out this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYjWm5eunpqZqNU

[@Nixlovescoffee]

This is a really well presented video. Great job!

[@Mzsexiib3an]

I've been looking for months for a how to video on making faux locks!!!!! IM GONNA DO THIS FOR JULY!!!!!

[@chimdi]

These are so pretty!

[@toribyrd1864]

Cool video can you unwrap the dread an rewrap around braid the same as with store bought faux locs ?

[@Mi-gs7xg]

you are cute af..also love your hair..thanks for sharing

[@Fay_Onoja]

Hi meek fro, I want to try this out for someone but I don't know if it can be used for indivdual crotchet braids and how lasting it can be

[@val8033]

I want to install indivudual human hair locs. Could you please tell me how I can install them in a way that when I take them down, I can reuse the same locs? Thanks in advance.

[@minervanape193]

Amazing. How do you install them?

[@CydneyMorel]

Hi! Beautiful! Excellent tutorial Where can i find the yarn/hair in grey or silver please 🙏

[@chaneljohns1625]

Oh wow 😍YOU are sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@RosePetal509]

A Very detailed video I love it.

[@efehijuliet6887]

Do do all equal lengths or do you do some longer to use for the front so it can match the back

[@shermikawyatt7063]

Good tips!

[@samgordon2500]

I found this helpful now I can make a Corey Taylor Iowa mask

[@jordanb7457]

Please do instal video!!!

[@WESSSUHH]

Would dipping them in hot water seal them as well?

[@OrganicallyLuxeLife]

Too much water

[@giebbieserah4440]

If you ever come to kenya ma holla at your girl for a treat, you saved my ass, shooting a vid and i needed fake dreads!

[@annettejones2648]

Awesome video. So, when you split the 16 inch cubin twist hair down the middle wouldn't it make it 8 inches. I kinda wish you had done it longer. I'm thinking if you made it longer, it would take much more hair per loc. Ouch!!! that could get expensive. But your video, is very informative. Cool Beans!!!!

[@MeekFro]

annette jones Thank you! & no this hair stretches so the Locs came out to about 18 inches. And depending on the brand of hair depends on the price. Just buy the 24 inch Cuban twist hair instead of 16 inch. Use all 24 inch. Depends on where you buy it from the prices may be the same. One store I went to had the 16 inch labeled the same price as the 24 inch.

[@PrettyLittleMonsters]

Can you make the ones that have fishtails in them ?

[@landas2268]

Ya assss thanks for the shout out to Monroe La. I go there and get hair and salon supplies.

[@leilakone8400]

How many pack of twist did you use?

[@tricialara637]

Looks great but it look a lot like soft locs. Can u tell me what’s the difference please thanks

[@bigbunnyleabee]

Can i dip these in cut water to seal them?

[@shanalewis3245]

Loving It!!!! Keep them coming. U have inspired me to do my own Faux Locs👅 They turned out pretty good 💖

[@loisdons]

Really nice. How many pieces in all was enough for your crochet?

[@MeekFro]

60

[@phirelee9759]

Can you just use the hot water method?

[@lovenwachukwu4368]

Alternative to Cuban twist please

[@CCollinsize]

DO YOU HAVE A PIC OF YOU WEARING THESE?

[@SheSoBadd13]

can you make a video showing how to install these? if there's already a video can someone please tell me the link to the video?

[@peacepenguine]

You can section your hair off according to the number of locs you want to install, then insert the section of hair through the loop of the loc, and braid it to your real hair. I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials around on youtube :)

[@ribka781]

Is it not more easy to put them in hot water seal???

[@twistedmindssweettea]

Is there a way to make the locks less rigid/stiff? I've seen some women with the faux locks that are more relaxed in how it falls and sits like a long braid would be kinda I guess. And what is your opinion on an ginger irish fish belly pale having locks? My husband politely tells me it's only for his ppl. 'It don't look right on white ppl" is what he says. The hippie lady at the dispensary has them and she's 'beautiful' but he says it's not for us...wtf I'm confused?lol

[@debbielicona346]

Can u also pour hot or semi hot water and let dry ?

[@peacepenguine]

Yes, I used boiling water to seal my set. Just be careful you don't burn yourself :)

[@ImKimibana]

How do you recommend installing these?

[@MeekFro]

Envyi Lindsey like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZu8faKolK2tmbM

[@sy6127]

Nice ❤

[@josefinaashipala7600]

Where can i buy those braids?

[@MeekFro]

Josephin Ashipala I made them but I don’t have any for sale right now

[@Animeaddictfreak]

Can you do individual locs with this?

[@MeekFro]

Yes using the braid in method

[@moniquehewitt2026]

Can you use hot water and dip the loc instead of the wet towel and a flat iron?

[@MeekFro]

Monique Hewitt I’ve never tried that method 🤔

[@peacepenguine]

I made my own set of synthetic locs a few years ago, and I used boiling water to seal them. I would boil a pot of water and pour it on to the loc while holding the twist tight, if that makes sense? I held the loc horizontal and slowly poured the water over it and would hang it up to dry overnight :) Just be careful as you reach the end of the loc, I burned myself more than once :)

[@Intunebodyco]

If I make my own I am going to use this method. When I take it off the hanger I can unravel this enough to wrap it around my braids? Im not going to crochet them but do individual braids. I know if I buy the locs in store I can unravel easy... but considering the other half of the braid that im wrapping around is already acting as my braid... I was wondering if I can wrap these around my braid.

[@MeekFro]

Whitney Copenhaver these won’t unravel. Not with this method of making them. There are other methods where it will allow your Locs to unravel.

[@jetta.silence6356]

ehh gurl yasss! Love these! I made a whole head of them for myself once years ago. But now im looking for someone that can do the double ended ones. I need about 30 id say. Do you do them and sell them?

[@MeekFro]

Miseria.Silence yessss Dreadshop.com try there!! I’ve worked with them before. Love them! Really cool people!!

[@jetta.silence6356]

@@MeekFro thank you beautiful❤❤❤

[@debbielicona346]

Thank u

[@Anarah18]

Do you have to braid them in or is it possible to use a crotchet needle and pull your hair through the dread?

[@giebbieserah4440]

You can use the needle technique it should work

[@maxwellakhigbe6387]

you're beautiful😘

[@lemusemakeup]

Can you do this method with human hair ?

[@claudiabryan8346]

Can this be dipped in hot water?

[@MeekFro]

Claudia Bryan yes

[@smryay1268]

Why doesn't the flat iron burn the cloth

[@landas2268]

The cloth is moist

[@dearinsomniadontletthebedb9237]

Why is my loc unravelling??

[@mwendapoleee]

I will reuse my braided hair instead of buying twist extensions

[@vanessashaw5365]

Are you still able to pull your own braided hair through the loc?

[@MeekFro]

Not with these

[@zalindahollywood1044]

What was your technique for taking them off of the hanger??

[@MeekFro]

Zalinda Hollywood hey! They slide right off. Easily. I’m only using the head of hanger to make the locs. Not the bottom portion of the hanger. The hook part of the hanger. Hope this helps. 😊

[@annettejones2648]

oooooooooo, I forgot to ask, how many packs of hair did you end up using.

[@julinielawrence1903]

I may have missed it but how many packs did you use?

[@MeekFro]

Julinie Lawrence it depends on how many Locs you want.

[@tinkatink6817]

MeekFro can we get a number of how many packs you used to make this set? Please and Thank you...

[@MeekFro]

Tinka Tink I only used 4 packs to show how I make them. You will need more packs depending on how many locs you want.

[@aliciamoore8679]

You should make and sale these on Etsy!

[@MeekFro]

Alicia Moore omg I should!

[@missempress2044]

How long did this take you?

[@MeekFro]

Miss Empress It depends on how many you’re making. I tend to take breaks so I’m not sure. I will calculate my time for the next video.

[@deondreawalker4282]

[@Goldengoods1111]

Can you sell me some lol PLEASE!!!

[@dusko.9910]

This is NOT how you make a dreadlock.

[@MeekFro]

This HOW I DO 🥰 reminder: everyone is different boo.

[@oliviapope7377]

Knowing what we know now I guess we could just dip in hot water and skip the flat iron and damp towel

[@MeekFro]

Period!!!! Lmao
