3 Benefits to Brushing Your Dreadlocks | Does it REALLY Help?!

[@JackKellerPlus]

😆 as a married man, who loves his wife, I always hated the tern “wife beater” too. Tank Top works but I’ve heard them called, and have adopted, the term “A-Frame” shirts. TP, love the vids still so keep ‘em coming! Also, around 3:01 I personally love mine more all over the place like your shot on the left, but I get wanting to look more put together too.

[@itzvinc3]

4 months into my lock journey and I cant wait to use this technique. Love TP man helped so much with my journey before I even started it🙌🏾

Happy to help family ✊🏾

[@HodgyBrain]

Bro your locs are INSANE. I literally want the exact set of locs you have brother. I'm 3 1/2 months in and can't wait till I get some serious hang time. keep up the good work man 🔥🔥

[@TPlocks]

Appreciate that family! Your locs will be even better 🔥

[@bobbyshewan4229]

That time will fly bruh trust me. Mine locked in 3 months and after that they grew like clockwork

[@leondreamcast]

Time flies It took 8 months for me to loc, the best way to go about your journey is to not compare your locs to someone else’s. Yours will differ and not look the same, everyone hair does it’s own thing differently. Come to terms with that bro as your journey goes on otherwise you’ll be disappointed

Great video TP! I love the fact you mentioned towards the end of the video to not brush your locs until they are mostly mature. Because I have tried to brush my locs before when I was maybe 8 or 9 months locd and…it just didn’t go well. Maybe if I had a video like this during that time I would’ve been a lot better off lol.

hey tp i wanted to ask you what do you think is better a bonnet or durag. I used to wear a durag at night to protect my dreads but i noticed that using a durag made my dreads appear short and look flat but when i use a bonnet it keeps my natural length wich is at my eyebrows and keeps them looking thick.

[@TPlocks]

For me I use both. I like the benefits of the durag for my hairline and taper with my hightop but I like the limited tension on my head from the bonnet. It’s tough to choose. I don’t tend to worry much about my length anymore, but I guess if we’re talking what’s best for hair I might have to say bonnet. The hair doesn’t get fully covered in the durag at all. My hair won’t fit. The bonnet give you full coverage!
