One Year With Dreadlocks!

[@irelandswanderer]

I used to have dreads for a while but combed them out last year because I was craving a change but been making them again this Easter weekend. Your videos are keeping me motivated through the endless backcombing and crocheting. Your dreads are beautiful and they really suit you well

[@dreadalinaa]

[@dreadalinaa]

Thank you so much :) definitely document your journey!! It's so fun looking back on it :)

[@TheZophisticatedDove]

Oh wow! I wash my locs in the bathtub too lol 😆 I thought I was being a weirdo but it's just easier to be more thorough that way.

[@dreadalinaa]

Exactly! Im washing them in the shower now but when I want to wash them really well I go in the bath :)

[@rainbowdreads1399]

Love the video! And i totally get your spider reference!! Sneaky dread spider feels loving your locs and i have loved following your journey!

[@dreadalinaa]

Awww thank you so much!!! And yes the spider feeling is effed up hahaha ❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗

[@thecreightonfamily5397]

Just found your channel, I only just recently dreaded my hair and I loveeee it their still only young not even 2weeks old but best choice I ever made! I’m so glad I found someone I can relate to, you’re look amazing

[@dreadalinaa]

Awww thats awesome congrats!!! You should deffs take videos of yours so you can look back and see the differences its crazy haha :)

[@luvsomebody6]

Get a satin bonnet to wear at night. I recommend a white one. The ones with colors tend to bleed. But the bonnet will help contain your dreads when you sleep and will help keep the frizz down because your dreads won’t be rubbing against the pillowcase.

[@luvsomebody6]

They look amazing

[@dreadalinaa]

Awesome tip thank you! :)

[@dreadalinaa]

Thanks so much :)

[@HippieHousewife]

Yesss! Another lovely and insightful video. I adore all of your tips and honesty. I have had mine for over 4 years and your info im sure has helped many. The sleeping tip really spoke to me hah, I too feel that way! Also, I have over 30+ dreadlocks videos on my channel I have made to help others along the way. I recommend oil treatments (tea tree, lavendar, rosemary etc) definitely help with hair growth, nutrients and scalp issues. 😘🤘💋

[@dreadalinaa]

Awww thats so nice thank you so much! 4 Years is awesome I cant wait to get there hahah. I will deffs check your videos out too thank you! :)

[@HippieHousewife]

[@dreadalinaa]

Haha thank you so much im sure they will! :)

[@hkpw299]

My name is Hayley and I have had my dreads for 1 year as well! Your dreads are gorgeous. My dreads have shrunk almost the exact same amount as yours. My dreads started at my hips as well. I lived the length but like you said it was a lot to deal with lol Oh man I feel the struggle with sleeping. Small sacrifice to pay for awesome hair.Good luck on the rest of your journey love! ✌

[@dreadalinaa]

Omg thats so funny hahaha. Thanks for your comment so sorry for the very late reply. Hope your dreads are going well :)

[@idaceline1511]

[@LizaLocs]

Just ❤️ you! Congrats doll on one year!

[@dreadalinaa]

❤❤❤❤❤ thank you, you awesome human being 😀🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@bellagracehandcraftedllc2046]

I wish you had been around when I got my first set of dreadlocks! There truly wasn't much by the way of videos about Caucasian women with dreads, which made it hard to learn what to do and what not to do! I kept mine in for a year and then took them out and HATED it. So just about a week ago I had them put back in and I'm so happy I did! Mine are also real dreads with human hair extensions. Thank you so much for posting your videos, they are truly helpful!

[@dreadalinaa]

Hey thank you so much for your comment! I'm so glad the videos help and congrats on starting your new journey ;)

[@taylorbriggs5049]

[@nathgomez4750]

I was about to comment about the length, I was like why you cut them??? But then you explained 😊 still I love them long. But you're brave to keep them for a year.

[@dreadalinaa]

Hey sorry for the late reply! Yea they got super short hahaha. Thanks for your comment :)

[@elizabethlaymon564]

I just did my own dreads last night and I'm so lost. They are so frizzy I don't know what I did wrong but yours are beautiful.

[@dreadalinaa]

Awww haha dont worry mine were frizzy at the beginning as well, just give it time they will look neater soon :)

[@sammyeoman7]

I have dreads myself and wonder if you use any oils or what you use to keep them even slightly soft? I’ve had mine for 2 years and can’t seems to find a good way to keep them soft!

[@dreadalinaa]

Hey :) The only products I use after washing them is aloe manukea gel from raw roots or dolly locks tightening gel... sometimes mine are soft but sometimes there scratchy so I'm not really sure haha sorry not much help!

[@sammyeoman7]

Dreadalinaa thanks I’ll give it a try!
