[@spernoud]

That hair should have its own KZbin channel

[@MissXlavX]

He actually pulls those off really well.

[@danugarbarino695]

[@Krinisty]

[@JakeTumblrx]

he's adorable! cute dreads.

[@bleedingvampyreheart]

i loved having dreads. thanks so much guys for the great products u make. i had to get rid of them because of interviews i'll be doing soon, but i'll def have them again in not the too distant future. maybe nxt year hopefully. for anyone who's thinking about dreads, you have to be serious about doing this nd devote quite a bit of time in the begining. still can't get used to not having them. it hurts like hell too so wen u do them especially around temples nd neck, large sections like this guy

[@frayedman420]

My god... Best dreadlocks i've ever seen!

[@ReadySetSkateFilms]

they are easy to comb out the younger they are, but you can ALWAYS uncomb them (using lots of conditioner beforehand) no matter how mature/old they are. It just takes a lot of time the older they become.

[@stephaniebrock6619]

I never knew it was an art, job well done :)

[@Kimberlylearning]

I had to remove dreads once. Dreads are like trama tangles. When the hair spontaneously knots us after a traumatic event. We keep a jar of pickles in the salon for this reason. Put the juice in a spray bottle and spray on the tangle and comb,starting at the ends. Really works!

[@tracystranko2019]

This stylist did a great job with commentary.

[@KnottyBoy]

@REY4262 It's a normal part of having dreadlocks in the beginning and eventually they smooth out, especially if you take good care maintaining your locks by palm rolling regularly. There are also products available that help.

[@KnottyBoy]

@screamingandbutter Great question, but due to the overwhelming feedback we get here, if you have any questions about your hair, our products or Lock Shop, please check those pages on our site.

[@saturn47]

I just visited your website and realised I've been living just a couple blocks away from your shop for years!

[@kdep_]

He is cute! :)

[@LynsanityXOXOXO]

I'm so fascinated by dreads.

[@CanadiaNecro1]

His hair is really good for this. I've been unsuccessful so far in getting my hair to respond to backcombing at all. I haven't tried wax. question: If you wash your hair daily, how often should you apply wax.

[@walkingwithin]

Thanks Becca...I watched this many times before and during the process of doing my own dreads and you where sooooo helpful..........cheers from Dreadfully Happy :)))))))

[@Jugzarella]

Connor suits dreadys to a teeee!!! Way hot on him. Thanks Becca for your rad info.

[@KnottyBoy]

@poppopin The amount of time is takes to lock somebody's hair up depends on how much and how long their hair is, the texture of it, the amount/thickness of dreadlocks being made and how many breaks are taken during the process. Thanks for watching!

[@jofrocat]

having dreads really looks sooooooooooooo cooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!

[@benjamincoal4222]

i just got my dreads done

[@timmonsandsoup]

Yes, and there are a lot of resources on the web for dreading extensions.

[@LostDommm]

I can't wait to get them. My hair isn't long enough yet though!

[@JosephCarrabotta]

A year ago, I saw this video, and I had the choice of doing it myself, or going to a hair salon. I chose the salon. The lady did them terribly, she didn't palm roll, wax, or even backcomb, which is the most important part. She just curled them into the shape of dreads, and expected them to lock up. Which, they did eventually, but they sucked. So I had to cut them. I'm doing them again myself in 1 month!

[@BigTashia]

i must say i've always wondered how white people get locs in their hair...this really changed my mind on somethings and i am no longer ignorant to the fact that white people can rock locs! God Bless!

[@KnottyBoy]

@joakimspotify No, dreadlocks can be worn by young kids or by much elderly folks and anyone in between. Age is only a number ;)

[@KnottyBoy]

@godslilgamer Locks do fatten up a bit, but not dramatically. Start them about the size you want them to be.

[@lilavanill]

this is so early 2000s love IT😆😍

[@ReadySetSkateFilms]

Backcombing will make the hair about half the original length. So say your hair is 6inches. After backcoming, it will be around 3-4 inches long. You can use the twist and rip method and not lose as much length. To rid and prevent lumps in the dreads simply just palm roll, and if you feel necessary, you can use a crochet hook to pull in loose hairs which will also help straighten them out.

[@fruitsnackdaddy]

he looks SOO much better w/ dreads in my opinion

[@echoravello]

great hair before and after

[@inkedkoi]

I used this method when I first did my dreads, year ago, its fine when your first doing it. But, after the hair grows out and wax starts to fade away, I found you need to learn the crochet method, if you use the wax method first. Crocheting brings your dreads together nicely, and if your like me, and like having together neat, without 'bubbles' or a like. just a little fyi

[@DiarrheaRocket]

Wow. Thanks for making these videos. Really great.

[@deathsoul7724]

nice method! been planning to have my hair dread lock again.

[@shockingblue55]

excellent job, what a transformation!

[@mooisapig]

thats why she said to keep waxing the roots and backcombing and palm rolling them, so hopefully they'll start becoming a part of your existing dreads

[@Darkdog]

Love this. Dreads look kick ass.

[@daffymommy]

Coner looks awesome!

[@chrris450]

Looks good, im trying it this way over the summer

[@AphroditesBite]

So that's what happened to Angry Kid!!! :P Great vid! Been wearing synthetic dreads for a while to try out what it's like and I now deffinately want to lock my own hair up (i'm a girl btw) This is the best vid on youtube by far!!! Thank you x

[@itsyagirlindica3505]

are dreads supposed to look like that? they seem really loose. i just watched a video before this at knotty boy and the dreads were much tighter and they back combed and then they used a crochet hook.

[@KnottyBoy]

Hey Fancy Nancy, all dreads are different. This procedure isn't exactly what a pro would do, it's an easier method for people to lock themselves or their friends up. At our Concept Salon, The Dreadquarters, they lock up with a crochet hook - it's a much tighter lock (and takes a lot longer to learn and do). Also, hilarious screenname :)

[@reese3005]

xExcellent tips. Now when I try this on my friends, it'll actually work. THanks for posting :)

[@Nyambui]

Wow, rockin' and lockin'!!!

[@itpaystobeme]

I'll have to admit, they did come out nice

[@EvySan5446]

CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY DREADS!

[@iwan0t0smith]

yea they get limper as you progress. the wx keeps them solid and stops them bending as much. after a few weeks/months when they're mature and the wax is out they'l flop around much more

[@KnottyBoy]

In January KnottyBoy dot com will be launching the How to Dye Nappy Instructional Tool Kit for Successfully Colouring Dreadlocks, along with the famous Manic Panic vegetable-based hair dyes. Stay tuned!

[@XXXSHARONOXXX]

I have always wondered how it was done now i know...lol..I always thought that the hair was platted all over and they just turned into dreadlocks as time went on and all the hair just like matted together..lol

[@KnottyBoy]

@xStarsRupHighx You could use our Emergency Dreadlock Removal Kit, which is an intense clarifying shampoo and ultra-deep conditioner. It would require you to spend hours picking your dreadlocks apart with a comb eventually resulting in free-flowing hair again.

[@KnottyBoy]

@norkaMURDER Hi there, the prices are not yet up on our site. All appointments require a FREE consultation first, where the stylist could look at your hair and give you a personalized quote. On average we charge $300 for the first 6 hours and $50 for every additional hour.

[@fluffylovers]

what a cute dreadmistress. good work : )

[@Cgeorge311]

aaahhhhh. fuck yes the first video of a red head with dreads!!!! iv'e been looking everywhere so now i know i well get them . WISH ME LUCK!!

[@serenity6831]

Conner looks pretty cool 👍

[@AlternativeRobbie]

Haha Connor is very cute with locks! I've been debating on getting them myself. But I need to do some serious hair-growing first haha.

[@SmashingKinpumps]

I've heard it takes like 6 or more hours, depending on the length of your hair and also if you're doing it by yourself or if someone else is doing it for you.

[@moneymadman398]

whoah i didn't think it would turn out that sweet!

[@FaultlessSelene]

Omg he looks so cute with dreads!! I wish I had seen this vid before I started mine lol

[@veilbreak5867]

His hair colour is fire!

[@KnottyBoy]

If you have any doubts, check out our Knotty Boy Dreadlock Gallery. 10 years and over 3000 before/after pics of happy, nappy Knotty Boy Dread Wax users can't be wrong. Don't worry, your locks will turn out great! Good luck and happy dreading! :)

[@KnottyBoy]

@seccyp they usually start to fully lock on their own within a few months and fully mature within 6 months to a year. But everybody's a bit different :) Thanks for watching!

[@ReverieLove]

thanks.. im going to attempt this right now :D

[@xbrokenxbellax]

those dreads look amazing.

[@beautyschooldropout1972]

Thank you for your valuable advise

[@cryb0]

first of all, i want to say fantastic video. it helps alot. i'm planing on getting dreadlocks, but i have very fine, thin hair. and i wasa just wondering how you would go about placeing the dreads, and how think you would recomend. -thank you

[@KnottyBoy]

@ThePicassoofgraffiti You can do this without wax, too. :) The dreadlocks will probably unravel more easy and require more maintenance, but it's totally possible, wax is just an option. Thanks for watching!

[@MrStealthninja06]

can you dreadlock a beard?

[@rebeccajames4086]

yes. I think its the same method

[@jdean9660]

LOL

[@xiodendum]

You can actually, same method though I'd suggest crochet hooking facial hair.

[@thatkidjordan7875]

Yep

[@rebekahwhitman5607]

my husband has his beard dreadlocked and we just used a hook.

[@KnottyBoy]

Yes, your hair is perfect for locks - but the great thing is using the Knotty Boy locking method described in the vid, combined with the KB products, dreadlocks form in ANY hair type. Check out the website for more detailed FAQs about it all! :)

[@rorsabest]

yes dude...jd, munky, fieldy...all have, or did have dreadlocks...my mum and dad are gonna let me grow dreads wen i leave skool and i want them the same style as munky has them!!!

[@alexmargera]

yeah very nice job the dreads look so cool.

[@KnottyBoy]

@Akinachan1988 To put the dreads in it took about 4-5 hours

[@meganerd14]

awesome; I cant wait to get these

[@MrsBrendonUrie]

they look so good pulled back!

[@travisbavisss]

I wish I would've thought about this before chopping off my hair years ago. It was half way down my back. :( and I wish I could get them done by her. Seems pretty entertaining esp if you're going to sit there for hours! haha.

[@Angora307]

Wow he looks so amazing with dreads! o_o

[@Rawrandblar]

That guy looked like Newton Faulkner when it was finished! I'm considering dreads since my hair is naturally curly even now at near shoulder length. I'm just not sure whether it'd suit me and I really don't want to cut my hair short again if it doesn't
