Twist wit gel easiest way , Crochet most effective way , Dreads are for some & dreads aren't for some , it's what makes them so unique, much love dread gang 💪🏼🔥💯🙏🏼

[@xeromusicXM]

Lmao it definitely does work. I thought it was for curls only, and began using it on my mohawk. Fast forward 2 years later I have a dreadlocked Mohawk. I am today years old when I learned that sponge was meant for dreads 😂😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

whats your hair type i think i have 2a will it really make small locs or sum?

[@darknessdeathskullsandbones]

Im no expert but I think the curlier your hair is the better it will work. I have a 4a hair type and we've been growing our hair for around the same time. I've been using a sponge for about 2-3 weeks and a little bit of locking gel and my hair is forming pretty well. In 2 weeks I'm gonna get a high top fade and then freeform from there so I can have a similar style to 2017 xxxtentacion but without bleaching it.

[@oasisflame]

it's something you gotta use over time. u can't make dreads with it in one day 😹😹😭

[@flymartian33]

Or you could just wash your hair every 2 weeks and not comb it

[@alexagriner3871]

You need smaller holes on a sponge i use that and i got semi freeform dreads it works better on our hair pattern 💪🏾💯

[@mosesgaming_]

A couple of years ago I had started dreads with a sponge when my hair was short. But I restarted so much times because I was impatient. So this time I'm gonna try freeform for the first time I'm excited. My hair is about an inch only so I'm excited that I started my freeform journey and also I've been taking pictures everyday. Which reminds me time to take a pic of my hair bye

Good luck on your journey!!

[@firelegend4763]

Good luck! I have freeform dreads and they don't take that much effort but it is good to twist individual strands of hair often. I've had free form dreads for about a year and a half. The process is going good but on bad days my hair looks terrible and loosed height.

It depends in your hair type. If you have any type of 4 then use it every other day. And don't wash your hair alot, probably once a month

Stay consistent with it so daily and make sure your hair stays dry and clean it will lockup in no time

can you just comb outwards instead of a pick?

[@PerSixPlus]

Hey! This video is very helpful, wanted a little bit of advice - I have quite long hair, curly by genetics, yet look more straight. Have had 1 dread for over 3 years and it's grown to the same length as the rest of my hair. My hair, when going down both sides and split down the middle, go roughly a bit under my jaw. Would such long hair be any problem for this method? And would there be extra maintenance required? Did this for my first time today, *immediately* went from relatively straight&hard hair to dread-textured hair. Now just have to wait for locs to form.

[@mrhypz2]

I have been using a dread sponge on my almost exclusively since I started my locks. I took me a while to get them to dread but when they did it looked decent. it is hard to deal with regrowth for me and recently I have been considering trying a different method when trying to deal with the regrowth. I have not retwisted my hair myself (which is probably part of the problem). I would recommend this method for some looking for a quick and easy method to creating dreadlocks but they do not look as appealing as I originally imagined

[@TssXD]

I find it interesting that me and you stopped waving at around the same time but your hair look like it’s growing faster Just food for thought

[@Sbo.026]

with straight hair i don’t recommend it, i recommend for straight hair for you to just get a retwist and let them grow. because with straight hair it will lock slower and the sponge/towel rub method will make straight hair dreads weird.

@@obselatelate1097 you can’t get 4C (kinky hair) from straight hair. if you aren’t born with kinky hair you can’t get kinky hair. you can start with sponge/towel rub but it will take i think like a year before it will look nice. i will recommend you to take a retwist to begin your dreads with. if you want skinny dreads take like 1,5 months a retwist. if you want thick dreads take less retwist. the less retwist you get the more thick they will get.

Is there even anyway I can fix the current holes? or like I said should I just leave it?
