[@sydsosaucy6622]

I started with a sponge, moved onto towel and now i have locs that hang halfway across my forhead, i stopped using the towel and just using my fingers to occasionally twist the loose roots because my dreads are locking from the tips down to root, i dont wanna use products or anything, what should i do to prevent loose roots

[@Bafana777]

Also a tennis Racket works, I've been using it for 3 years now and it's really payin off.

[@Afroninja12]

guys word of advice from someone who tried the coil method, towel method, and sponge method: if you want dreads, USE THE SPONGE METHOD IT WORKS THE FASTEST AND LOOKS THE BEST

[@yamixena]

It’s exactly what I use

[@TheRealTaolf]

I use towel and sponge

[@mrpcanfly7141]

Really depends on your hair type. For people with looser straighter hair towel works better.

[@dheze2313]

How tf do you wash? I’ve been doing it for a week and haven’t been washing and my hair is getting dandruff and itchy af??

[@Lbrezzyy]

DH Essay its growing

[@froulouxio]

when starting my locs with a fro should i pick my hair out or curl it and then towel? cuz i'm mixed and my hairs curly (3c) so i feel like if i towel rub while my hair is curly instead of picking it out my hair will loc better

[@eloipherlouifils]

The best method is to use a regular brush or even ya fingers in a klaw shape and that’s because towel and sponge strips moisture these item literally soak up water now when using brush or finger the brush is faster day 1 result but your fingers over time like waving will give u better results as your hair grows longer or u can start off using a brush and when u hair gets longer switch to using ur finger key note use this method with wet wet hair or showering especially with longer hair so u can shape in the direction u want ya hair to flow and grow

[@jimlanely6699]

[@user-oe1uu5wv4n]

I love dis what did you apply on the hair before the towel

[@iamwindex777]

Can we just use a sponge brush instead of a towel? Will there be a difference? Is it better or worst?

[@seul7779]

I think it's better

[@savce3521]

im trying this and it works great but you cant do it too long everyday id suggest 5-10 mins in the morning every other day like, do it one day and skip a day and then do it the next , i did it every day morning and night for a total of 20-30 mins for around 2 weeks and it started thinning which is bad

[@danward8807]

What if your mixed and your hair ain’t the same texture what can I do my hair is more thinner

Hey um huge fan .I started my locs about a month and a half ago almost two. My loctition did twisting with gel and interlocked my roots and I was wondering could I do the crochet needle and instantly loc my hair without messing it up ?

It most likely won't mess up if you do it right. Call your loctitian to make sure though. Best of luck to you!

[@uproarking8182]

Wow thx i knew u could use a towel but i didnt know how to PROPERLY use it to get dreads. But can u wash ur hair while u do this or do u have to not wash ur hair while ur getting dreads using this method

[@zenk0i]

Don't wash your hair because Gunther said he waited 2 months for him to wash. Realistically you want 3 weeks or more

[@Mike-md5gy]

Don’t wash your hair for a month if u have African hair and use locking gel

[@Rolandbrown08]

What if you had straight hair but then permed it to curly how would you start the dreads?
