[@kittylynne607]

"Liiike thisandthisandthisandthisandthis!" I don't know why, but that made me giggle! Jealous of your hair and your energy! I just wanna bottle you up and take you with me everywhere to keep me happy and upbeat!

[@melaniesellers2219]

[@user-ui2ws8ok2b]

Lethal Kitty I do but I dont

[@brendanduley1004]

Hello lovely lady. I got a full head of dreads a week ago. I didn't do research before committing, not the first one. Watching your videos on crocheting and dread maintenance has put my mind at ease. Feeling more comfortable and confident from your shared dread knowledge. I will be getting urgent maintenance tomorrow. From then on I will be using the oils you prescribed in this video (Not coconut oil, as I found out the hard way haha). Using your palm rolling technique and frequent crochet practise. Should be a pro in no time. Love your videos, you are super bubbly and charismatic. Charming personality. I will stay tuned. I sincerely thank you for your time.

[@amberlylynn3819]

I'm 16 and I've wanted dreads since I was 11. My hair is to like my shoulders and its brown. I'm super inspired by your hair, I'm going to dye it pink or use the conditioner you used then I'm going to put my hair in dreads. I'll be sure to buy your kit and use your tips for care. I'm extremely excited about this

[@WiredAndStoned]

OOh!! Excited for you!! If you have Instagram, tag us in a photo when you do it! We'd love to see! @wiredandstoned #wasdreads

[@gigglyds8342]

I shaved my head but I am growing it out to the length I want. I am saving your videos and getting the materials to take care of the dreadlocks, and then start my locks!!! I've been indulging in so many videos so many things about dreadlocks, the persuasions and I feel mature enough to start mine once my hair grows!! Love this video.

[@heartofahippie9974]

LOVE your videos!! My son and I are getting dreads, technically his started yesterday, so your videos are VERY informative!! You rock!

[@bonniegreenwood9099]

thank you .. super high brownie points for actually explaining everything fully and intelligently.. it's nice not to hunt a topic and end up searching trying to find a complete answer. ☕🍰

[@stromantiffany]

I'm slowly getting my hair into dreads. Doing a couple every few days just so I can ease into it. Is there any tips for that? I loved how informative this video is and adore your energy

[@heatherbarnes7179]

I can not thank you enough for your videos!! im in month 2 of my journey and added extensions a few days ago and i cant be happier! thank you for your beautiful videos and beautiful vibes!

[@Hisgirl222]

Natural shampoo recipe that I've used for about two years now that doesn't cause build up. It's great for silky, shiny hair, and for hair growth. I love it! I double or triple the recipe so it lasts longer. I'm lazy like that. 😁 ❏ 1/4 cup of water in glass mixing bowl ❏ 3/4 cup castile soap ❏ 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar ❏ 10 drops tea tree oil ❏ 5 drops lemon oil ❏ 2 drops lavender ❏ 2 drops peppermint ❏ 3 drops thieves oil ❏ 5 drops Rosemary ❏ 5 drops Clary Sage ❏ 5 drops Thyme ❏ 5 drops Cedarwood ❏ Leave in for 3 minutes ❏ Rinse

[@WanderingPoppy]

I LOVE the spritz with essential oil! Um ya. It has like, changed my life.

[@mtsolobaja]

I use oils anyway for other things but never thought to use them on my 6 month old dreads. GREAT IDEA. I have fractionated coconut oil because it is so not greasy . That would be great for the scalp...but how many drops in total do you use in what quantity_ Your video is great...first time I thought to check on KZbin too...need to tidy them up and your explanation and really fun attitude was just the perfect way to sit watch, tidy and drink coffee in the morning. Thanks! I{m in Baja California Sur, Mexico, but will head up to San Diego and then LA in January....where would you be traveling from if I wanted dread help_

[@VanessaDegarmo]

Just ordered the Ultimate Kit! Already started my dreads but wanted the kit aways. I am super excited to do this!!❤

[@melaniesellers2219]

omg your dreads look so pretty now!! i mean they always have but wow ** heart eyes**

[@WiredAndStoned]

Thank you! Yes they have matured A LOT and I'm feeling real good about them now! ^_^

[@zoelaverneedits9378]

FINALLY, someone with ACTUAL, BEAUTIFUL dreadlocks. Everyone else has knotty and tangled dreadlocks. Yours are SO pretty, they are thin and there is a lot of them. Your roots aren't weak, which is KEY. Love this video, you slay dreadlocks!

[@WiredAndStoned]

Queensavage999 XD thank you! 💞

[@zoelaverneedits9378]

Wired And Stoned OMG your welcome! Thank you so much for replying!!!

[@justmorenoise]

I agree

[@ina1815]

They’re knotty and tangled because they’re natural freeform locks, not man made and poserish. I wouldn’t have mine any other way.

[@gertjanvandamme7180]

@@ina1815 thank you!

[@SarahMonnin]

My husband is Italian and i did the backcombing method on his hair. Your videos are very detailed and i love that because im still learning for his straight hair lol

[@rosewhite71]

you are so cute! I'm in my early 40s & (naturally) silver-streaked; after watching some of your vids I think I'm finally ready to lock it up. love your EO concoctions & natural approach! subbed 😙

[@kat_livescolor]

Ah this channel makes me happy inside and out ^.^

[@The_HealingSpace]

GENIOUS! Your oil idea is genious! I was so scared to use oil on my newbie dreads but little drops are so nice and soothing! thank you thank!

[@juliazemlik7223]

I have appointment in march since I cut my hair few months ago and I have pixie now - can't wait to have dreads already! Your video is so helpful - there's not mutch info on how to take care of dreads on yt

[@jessijaja]

Definitely best video I've ever watched on maintenance and care. THANK YOU

[@elizabethmayo7543]

"if you want to make comments about cultural appropriation...." 😂 Love it.

[@VR7CLUB]

Got dreads recently in my natural hair grown for 3 years😍

[@thegrimmlife5650]

I’ve never seen palm rolling like that. I really enjoyed this. I’m going to be starting some on my friend for her so I’m really excited I watched this! ❤️❤️

[@kimberlycrusher4065]

I saw this on the Tribe ❤️❤️❤️ my dreads are almost 2 months old. And I never knew about using oil for itchy scalp. Thank you for the advice! Love and Light Sistar

[@WiredAndStoned]

Have you tried the oil? If so, how's it working?

[@MacaldaReye]

What’s the best way to dry them? Or like how do you dry quickly?

[@jaimetollefson9055]

I use Dr Bronners DILUTED with water (about 1 part Dr B to 10 parts water - super watery) and I use a squeeze ketchup bottle to get it on the scalp for a regular washing. For a deep cleanse, I like to make an ACV, lemon juice and baking soda mixture with water in a bowl and soak for a while then rinse. It’s magical! (The proof will be in the bowl - pretty gnarly). Happy Dread journey indeed. (I’m on my 3rd set and have learned a lot about having thin, straight, white girl dreads).

[@vanessasilk7492]

thank you so much! I've been considering dreads for a long while but I just chopped the back of my hair off so I'm gonna let it grow a few more inches before extentions. this is so helpful! I'm gonna check out yalls site! excited! can't wait

[@tonilyaanton8395]

Love your energy! I am definitely making dreadz on my hair and I am super excited! This video was very informative and helpful.

[@savvydelong9661]

i have dyed hair that’s green currently and i’m also starting my dread journey for my second time! my first time was just started naturally because i have curly hair and i never (oops) brush my hair and i didn’t use conditioner at the time (double oops). now that i have longer and healthier hair i’m starting out with scattered dreads and having my naturally curly hair down as well (if that makes sense). I’m so lucky to have found these videos this time and to be able to know exactly what i need and how to take care of them! i currently have one little dread and his name is Philip, i named him because i felt bad that he was all alone 😅. anyway, thank you for the amazing content and being well educated on what you’re discussing!

[@meganh4011]

I have watched so many videos trying to figure out how to do stuff with my Caucasian dreads thanks for actually getting to the point and not trying to make a KZbin career out of it LOL

[@courtneybrown1128]

Love love love this seems the best care video for dreads I've seen. I definitely have decided I am gonna try dreads out. Thank you so muchhhh

[@MARYANNE269]

How are you getting on?? I'm finding out as much as I can.. Really need to do something with my hair.. it's long and wavy I'd love dreads, I just don't want to loose too much length.. or look like crazy cat lady for a year! Ooh I wish she was in England! She knows her Dreads eh xx

[@MelissaRae1975]

Dreads are not for me BUT I adore your smile and free spirit. Thank u for sharing yourself with us

[@yahu2burger]

I’m growing my hair atm to make some nice dreads, most useful video i’ve seen yet... there is only 1 thing you didnt mention, how much essential oil should i mix into how much distilled water/ carrier oil? Thanks!

[@sydneybench1857]

How many drops of essential oils do you put in the distilled water and the oil??? I'm about to get dreads and wanna get ready for them!! 😁

[@penru__tondi]

I'm doing all my research before getting dreads. Your video was so helpful!!

[@allstarweekendgurl96]

I have short dreads of my own and added dread extensions. I did synthetic but they’re still working well. But my scalp is sooooo itchy because it’s used to being brushed and watched very day. I just ordered your shower in a bottle and massage in a bottle. And I can’t wait for it to get here! I’ve also ordered dolly locs refreshening and tightening sprays because I did extensions. I love my dreads so far and I’m excited to see where they go! Thank you for this video. Super helpful

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

Wow I never knew you could put oil on your hair everyday with your texture. I would think it would way your hair down. You learn something new everyday. Good video.

[@lisalisious]

Been using the spray for 2 years now. Totally addicted!. I dont even have dreads. I love love love them though. Yours are awesome!!!

[@aygulondes8029]

best dreadlock tutorial videos ever ❤️ make my hair dreadlocks with your videos, thank you 😊 i like your energy sooo much. please, please, please make a maintance video for the growing root hairs.

[@WiredAndStoned]

already shot it, editing it today! ❤❤

[@aygulondes8029]

Wired And Stoned please please post maintance video 🙏😊

[@WiredAndStoned]

Aygul Pembecioglu we finally posted a maintenance video!

[@hollythomas7582]

I agree with all your fans, your are both super clear on all of it and also a joy to watch. Really appreciate your sAys it from real perspective never too blow hard not fairy princess . I’ve ewanted to have fat dreads and braids and all that for 40 years am 63 in January and st the 10 year place where I do some wise Why not and rockbit till it’s got to be cut again to my ears . I do have a question. Are these going to feel at ALL like those synthetic dreads do? No way I can deal with with that. Have felt the rookies and they are soft and if I do this I think a mix of full on dreads some with free loose ends and that same idea with what I’d like in a variety of braids and knots. Q2) Can I start out from my virgin thick strands and a lot of them by adding extentions and like crochet those on? If I care for and do use extentions will they last for as long as I want them to or more of a temp thing

[@PlusVK22]

Girl your personality is 🔥❤❤

[@juliannegilmartin1942]

You should try the superdread shampoo bar. It's residue free but full of essential oils so it doesn't feel drying at all. It feels like a conditioner. It's my favorite!

[@katiekat1518]

I'm starting my dreads this week. I was going to go to a salon once my disability kicked in, however they want $350 if your hair is 6 inches, and the longer it is, obviously the more costly. I figured it'd be more of an experience and better journey if I did them myself. So, therefore, sniffing around youtube watching different dread tips and how to's. You mentioned don't let them stay wet. Do you suggest towel drying and squeezing into the towel? Or maybe keeping the blow dryer handy? I'd really appreciate a response.

[@jorge6633]

This girl absolutely adorable making these videos while still giving us everything we need. So positive and productive, i love it. 🔥💯

[@caraleeb]

Hands down the most helpful video for learning about dreadlocks maintenance! Thank you soooo much!

[@jenpurcellsantorelli288]

I love your videos!!! I have always wanted dreads but was too nervous to try. Now that I'm educated on the journey-I'm doing a gradual dread head- I have about 15 now. Keep the videos coming and much love!!!! If you ever want to travel out to Syracuse, NY- I'd love you to finish my dreads!! Much love and keep the videos coming!!

[@TheBigfoottrucker]

I definitely subscribed I live in north Ga . I wish to have dread locks. I like your charisma and quick wittiness .

[@BepisKimten114]

Dude I have not seen anybody else palm roll like that! GAME CHANGER! Thank you

[@braddavide311]

Love this! Did you ever mention how much oil-to-water ratio in that spray? Or did I miss it??

[@briaanderson7923]

So if you go swimming say in a river or pool, what if you can’t dry your dreads for a long time? What do I do to make them not mildew? I want dreads in the summer but I want to know as much as possible to keep them clean and stuff before I get them💚

[@sisterursuline]

You can’t leave them wet for long periods.. period. They will mildew. Either keep them up when you swim or make sure you can dry them all or almost all the way before sleeping.

[@clevaconley2221]

I'm a fiber artist in Humboldt. When I wash wool or felt wool, I have to hang it up to dry and throughout the day spinning it. The amount of time acceptable for them to be wet is two days. I learned that a really gross way one evening. Random comment lol.

[@Butterflymoments]

Thank you so much!! One month in and as soon as I tried your palm rolling technique is was like…aaaahhhhhh… yes. ❤

[@clemfandango6897]

On my 3rd crop of dreads, about to dread my friends hair soon, been needing to update my knowledge! Thanks for the tips! I need to start using that distilled water/oils!

[@chrisjms1992]

Just ordered the spray and oil from you guys cant wait to get it I just started my dreads

[@erianesmohnson3703]

Very helpful video, we made the oil and the water spritz today and applied to our dreads, ah-mazing!! They feel so soft clean and fresh now! Thank you!

[@adrennajenn]

Your dreads are gorgeous you are so pretty and your aura is lovely. I'm new to my dreads about a month and this was helpful so thank you!!

[@derekbuitron5684]

I'm on my second week. Crochet method. I can't wait for them to tighten enough that I'm not worried they gonna come lose or out

[@hatrixlol3025]

Going to lock up the top of my hair and shave the rest. Thanks for all the info!! Definitely what I was looking for! 😊

[@Daniellejosiemilo]

Thank you so much for this video, I’m planing on getting some dreads in my hair. And it’s gonna be my first time

[@XiulanArisu]

I don't know which is more beautiful, your personality or your locks. Wonderful video!

[@jux_tapoz]

I think I'm in love with you!! Lol. But seriously. Thanks for this video it's so thorough and straight forward! I plan to start my dread journey next year! Subscribed!

[@staunchballerina]

When making a spray, how do you decide how much of each drops do you use?

[@sandy1989ize]

4 to 6 drops of every essential oils , specially lavender, rosemary and tea tree in 75 ml spray bottle filled with 60 ml of distilled water . Thanks in advance 😊😊

[@tuitupousili8020]

What about the mixture with oil?

[@The.Artistic.Squirrel]

This vid is awesome! You’re a total trip! Love your hair!

[@laurenbooze7957]

[@WiredAndStoned]

You can always start with just a couple! And if ya hate it, brush em out!

[@laurenbooze7957]

[@leonoradupreez5936]

Wired And Stoned i love your dreads it is so pritty...me and my mom like actuly tried to make dreads in my hair but we cant get it right😧😧😥😥😥

[@MlleAlpineBlack]

Do you think rose water with maybe tea tree as a dread or scalp spray would be okay? I love the daddio tint on your dreads 🥰.

[@fredjen89]

Dr. Locs has worked the best for me so far 💕

[@teranbrondum3072]

How did you part them? I did my own and after looking at yours I'm not sure i did enough. Your hair is my goal

[@onixpanda13]

Thanks love I really appreciated all of the advice I just put mine in not too long ago and was looking for better tips this was perfect!🖤💚

[@MadelineDarling24]

Would you guys ever do a question and answer video? Or a video about how you started doing what you do?

[@chelseyott]

yep! planning on it !

[@WiredAndStoned]

Have you seen our first Q & A video? What other questions you got? :)

[@kristinascoolbeans36]

I love this video... thank you for making getting dreadlocks seem not so scary! You are an inspiration to me! :)

[@purpleiris4338]

Where do you get your oils. I've heard that not all oils are made equally so just wanted to know if you had any suggestion there? Thank you, your awesome I love your videos they explain a lot!

[@triciagaucher3777]

Those care tips are they good for my synthetic faux locs extensions ? :) thank you

[@JulisseHopmann]

You are my favorite dread lady on the tube! Last week I followed through with your twist and tear method mixed with some back combing, and I am really trying to get the crocheting down but am having troubleI also used bee's wax...did I already fuck them up? Should I try to wash them to get the wax out or just keep going and not add anymore??? Or do something else? I hope you get this... thank you for your videos

[@Shaggy-lu6dz]

i wash mine every 3 or 4 days and havent had any issues 2 weeks seems a bit excessive but to each there own.

[@jayesage3941]

I wash mine every 4 but I wanna start every 7 to 10 days especially because they're new

[@larrytree324]

Shaggy420 u

[@heatherf.3381]

Hi I just got finished watching your dread care video. Do you have the mesurements for the homemade spray for the dreads. I purchased all the oils mentioned. Please n ty. I cant wait to dread my hair!

[@jaybird7440]

Can you blow dry dreads? I don't know if this is a stupid question but I am wanting dreads and I'm new to it and I love researching things before going through.

[@ilystarlla]

what kind of anti fungal do you like to use for your oil? is there any brand you can recommend?

[@mwsworld9242]

What are the amounts of oil you put into the shower?? Like 2 drops per oil??

[@heathermayes6565]

You are my go to girl for all things dread! Will the oil be advisable for me since I have semi greasy hair naturally? Thanks for all the great videos!

[@christinawilson421]

love this video! that palm rolling trick... amazing! I've had dreads for 4 years, and i have been doing it wrong all along! wish i would have known sooner to put it between my fingers! thanks so much!

[@apunknamedbatsy]

After you spray, should you dry your hair? And how? Like a towel, or a blow dryer, or is it not needed? Also, what's the ratio for the oils to distilled water and to the carrier oil?

[@apunknamedbatsy]

And also, after doing the oil on the scalp, do I wash it out or leave it in?

[@janicealderson4329]

Does adding oils on the scalp mean that you have to use the crochet method on the roots instead of just letting the roots knot themselves?

[@LilMissCreativity]

Please make a video explaining in depth how to crochet to tighten the dreadies. I keep messing up and getting discouraged and frustrated. Your videos are all so precious. Thank you for this video it was super informative. But crochet tutorial for dreads would be super helpful. Love and light! ☉💕

[@WiredAndStoned]

I will surely try! It is hard to explain... but I'll do it!

[@cattjohnson1114]

I've got synths (cause I'm indecisive and want coloured hair haha) but this has been so useful especially the oils that they you reccomened!

[@ashleighthrasher50]

My dreads are a month old and every so how one has 2 to 3 maybe more loops. You'd are so straight and rope like! Do you crochet the loops in or did you just not get any loops?

[@katykorber4389]

Best video I’ve seen hands down. Thank you for all the info!!!

[@reubenlandrum7983]

just got dreads finding this VERY helpful.... you guys are awesome! too bad about the plane they should put mufflers on those....

[@dallasof2009]

can you use tea tree shampoo, like the one you buy at sallys? I only have one right now thats almost a week old. im just seeing if I like it or not. might do more in the future if I like taking care of it.

[@penelopelee6695]

you said no wax but is it ok to use when putting or making your dreads?

[@chaesingcircles5132]

What's the ratio of oils to distilled water for your shower in a bottle?? Half and half?

[@kaylabucholz7834]

I've been seriously considering dreads, but my mother thinks they won't be good because they'll get "gross and moldy" but after watching this I'm pretty set on doing dreads, at least for a little while. is there a way to make dreads easier to brush out if I don't want them permanent

[@kaylabucholz7834]

permanent?**

[@WiredAndStoned]

Not really, just follow how we made them in our video How To Make Dreadlocks! Glad this video helped!! :)

[@kaylabucholz7834]

thank you so much, I think I convinced her

[@StrawKatt]

you said no coconut oil, but the daddy-o shampoo you recommended has extra virgin coconut oil in it. is that ok to use? or does it really matter?

[@Dakota1346]

do you have videos about different hairstyles for dreadlocks

[@WiredAndStoned]

Funny you should ask! That's what we're working on now!

[@Dakota1346]

+Wired And Stoned well, I will be waiting!

[@C0RV1DC0RVUS]

Love you guys and ALL of your videos!! Recently started my dread journey. I am not 100% sure that I am happy with them. Might just be the beginners stage or that the young lady that help install messed up?? Thank you for the tips❤️

[@michellepienaar5869]

Oh I am so happy that I have come across your videos, am about to follow on instagram and will soon be ordering you dread kit... I have been wanting dreads for ages, but it's officially time to start them, as I have begun my travels, I wanted to ask, you mentioned that you can infact dread extensions into the dread? my hair is super short, and I would really like to possibly start them off a little longer, do you have a video showing how to put extensions into dreads?... I'm stoked to finally be able to start this journey! and I feel like I have found my no1 go to for all my dread related queries! Love love love this!👌✌

[@michellepienaar5869]

OK, I found the video! super excited to get my dread on!👌✌

[@lamariposaamorosa]

This was helpful, thanks! I enjoy learning as much as I can! Love the pink that you had here! 😍☮️❣️

[@fredjen89]

💕 I love this vibe!

[@Preciousanagonzalez1]

When you get out of shower, do you put oil in hair before they dry or after?

[@elm_s1e]

Can you use coconut oil or sunflower oil to put on your dreads?
