How To Section Dreadlocks

[@purelightlove8888]

At 66 & retired I FINALLY made an appointment for being a dreadhead, i’ve been doing lots of research and still have my cosmetology license never did dreads though, this video is super helpful my dear thank you so very much! I am posting this August 6,2024 just know you are helping so many individuals like myself to understand this technique, with so many amazing ideas on social media now too! ✨ hugs from eastern Oregon 💖🌎💖

[@caseyweber400]

I just wanted to let you know that I am a licensed cosmetologist, and you literally just taught me everything I know about dreads!! 😂😁😁 I'm actually about to do my first set! Wish me luck 😘

[@cheebak1615]

This is the least informative video on this subject.... definitely do more research. Personally I think these sections look awful and unnatural in the long run.

[@MARYANNE269]

How did they go?

[@saragarofano6471]

Damn I'm so sorry

[@juanalee92]

@@cheebak1615 agree completely on the sectioning. Her hair is going to be huge in the long also for how big she did it

[@chemicaldeath9866]

@@juanalee92 I mean for 1 she literally said that those sections are bigger than what she would do on herself so they are going to be bigger (because thats what the client wanted) and for 2 this comment implies that "Big" automatically equals "Bad" even tho there are people like Kodak Black and Denzel Curry looking like badass dragonball characters with a total of 8 - 10 dreads each😂😂

[@wandacraig8286]

I commented on one of your videos about a month and a half ago as I was trying to decide if locs were the direction I wanted to go. I commented on several other sites, but to date you were the only one who responded and you were very encouraging. It's been difficult as I live in and area that there are no licensed locticians. However, a local beauty school has one student learning the art of dreads and I finally have an appointment next week. Your encouragement and my determination have kept me moving forward. Just wanted to say thank you. I know this video was posted some years back, so I hope you'll get to see this little thank you!

[@WiredAndStoned]

You could request for her to use a micro latch hook and the crochet method. That will likely ensure your satisfaction!

[@wandacraig8286]

@@WiredAndStoned I'm amazed you're responding to a six year old video just now being commented on. Thank you! And I'm going to talk to her instructor before going to make sure they will either twist and rip or back comb and then crochet so I'll have what I'm looking for. I've been making my own extensions and if I could hold my arms over my head, I'd just do my own as my extensions are turning out pretty decent for a beginner. I just need help getting this done and in NW Montana there hasn't been much demand for them. 🤭

Thank you for showing this! I've wanted dreads for like two years so now I'm just gonna do it no questions asked. I'm excited! This video helped a lot.

[@mizzmanditv2845]

I started mine about a week ago, I did them myself, but had my husband section them. I'm in love with them and can't wait to see how they're going to change and grow. I love your videos, I always want to learn more and more about them.

[@veravegas777]

Just starting my dread journey! I’m starting off with double ended dreads, and getting a feel for how to put them in and sectioning my hair! I’m still learning about them, and testing them out! I take them out once a week so I can wash my hair! I’m also decorating them! So far I’ve gotten great responses from friends, customers, and family! Everyone is telling me I should just dread it all! I’m wanting my grow out my hair healthy and long before I take the real dread journey! I’ve damaged it a lot from bleaching and dying my hair for 2 years straight! I want to grow my hair out down to my waist so that I can cut all the split ends of when it’s at a comfortable length, before I dread my hair for real! But until then, I’m loving my double ended dreads!

[@jodinixon453]

Thank you so much. I'm a hairdresser and you have taught me so much. I myself are about to join the dread journey.. the bottom of my hair is shaved and the top is longer.. I'm going to start dreads on my hair then add extensions also. I will be using your content to do mine. So again thank you

[@RebsApollo-n3j]

Your energy is very beautiful!

[@Takkible]

depends on the clients shape for me, weather i go brick pattern random, rectangle. a lot of loctitions dont even think about this type of thing, the dreads can end up complimenting the persons facial structure or do the complete opposite.

[@milasuljagic7913]

I just took my dread down, it took me about 3 days, (I have 2 kids that were with me non stop sooo...) cause I'm kind of perfectionist, like you, and knowing that my dreads are where ever, what ever size made me crazy. I'll try making my own dreads using your advice (these dreads that I had was made by a 'professional'... It didn't feel like it). Thank you for your videos, they help a lot

[@connor8112]

this was a very helpful video. been scared to start them myself, just doing a few here and there left me scared about the part, hairline, those ones by the ears. buying rubber bands and starting tomorrow 😆👌

[@milasuljagic7913]

Good luck =) I did them using this method and it's wayyyyy better than just 'here and there'.

[@Xaforn]

Thank you so much, you cleared up so much! I have long fine healthy hair but didn’t want them too thick or heavy when the dreads grow out so I think I will do 3-4 on the back row. Just what I needed to hear!

[@adelejade4802]

That's so helpful, thanks babe. I'm starting my dreadlock journey tomorrow when they arrive. Purple and blue. Oh I'm going to rock the school run on Monday haha, I already stand out as an "alternative" Mummy. Let's see their reactions to the only one in the village with dreadlocks haha 😂

U should definitely do a tutorial on how too section,the back of your head yourself.....because I have my whole head dreaded and have this like 6x7 inch are right in the middle of the back of my head I can't do...anyway this can be done without the help of another person

I made my partial dreads using twist & rip and a crochet hook last year & just added another row last week using the same methods. All of my dreads are on the back of my head & they're coming along nicely. I recommend you just go for it! They're not that difficult to make because it's done mostly by feeling rather than by seeing :)

[@keelycordero2452]

How do you section your dreads after you have them.. Like I have been working so much I haven't had time to do my hair in abwhile and at my roots they are all starting to grow into each other.. How do you get them sectioned back where you can see the parts and how do get all the loose hair around the dreads into them?

[@gloriaguevara6695]

Keely Lyons You should separate them regularly especially after washing and drying them. A rat tail comb works great for getting those fine lines in. And I just learned this, but palm rolling them after a wash can also help guide the frizzy parts to the right dread. You can also use a *tiny* like .75 crochet hook or latch hook to carefully, very gently, pull some in. Just don't overdo it

Thank u this vid! It's super helpful. My dreads are only a few weeks in & still have a couple more 2 do(haven't decided how I want 2 frame my face or the top of my hair yet. This video helps me a lot! I'm tender headed, so I decided 2 part my dreads with straight horizontal lines first & then section them individually by how they felt natural & comfortable according 2 my scalp & nerves. (I have some nerve damage(metal plate 2 repair my sinus cavity-between my eyebrows & forehead due 2 vehicle accident) from a surgery bk in '03) so far the only difference in my dreads by parting them a little different is that I have multiple sizes of dreads. Which I'm starting 2 luv... Plz do a vid on how u dyed ur dreads pink.💓🤗💕🌈

I just wondered why you make the sections rectangular apposed to squares?

[@itsyagirlindica3505]

Heather Adams i was wondering that too.

[@VicariouslyBailey]

It's all in preference really. If you have squares, either larger or smaller, you'll have more or less dreads depending. By doing rectangles, you still get a good number of dreads without the sections being too massive or little. It also makes the "brickwork" easier to build up the scalp.

[@gloriaguevara6695]

Keely Lyons If they're still loose enough to be "moving" and dreading, just look all fluffy, they should taper out. You can guide them by palm or pinch rolling. If they're already locked into hard club-ends, you can always pick and brush out the ends to form them how you want. And yeah, you can trim them if they get too long or whatever. The ends will probably unravel just a little, it's normal.
