4 Years/48 Months Extravaganza! Lock Dread Lock Rock!

[AaronVernonFOP]

Are those getting heavy? They look pretty dense. These videos are pretty neat. I get to see the evolution of dreadlocks over a period of years! Excellent

[SONOFADBAG]

How did u tame all of those loose hairs?

[KachinaVillage]

That's sick! did you expect them to naturally get that thick? cuz thats like 2 inches

[Loopa94]

how about a new update on the dreads? :)

[bilan618]

Very nice locs!

[fullysikmate2009]

Hey dude, just been lookin back at ur progress and comparing it to mine (im at 7ish months atm) basically im a bit behind in terms of long as i started with shorter hair. However my hair isnt really dread on my hair line like from the top of ears down to the bottom and back to the top of the other ear.. how can i speed it up? also my tips are super undreaded how can i speed up this also??

[mattzcoolathanu]

@fullysikmate2009 The tips are the last to lock up. Don't worry about that. Since you started with your hair shorter, just expect things to take a bit longer. Don't worry you'll get there. Just let nature take its course. If you want to speed up the process, rinsing your hair with salt water or just swimming in the ocean will help.

[graftiffula123]

oh yeah, great dreads! they're so awesome

[graftiffula123]

are you from the carolinas? or some where near the carolinas?

[ThaVeggieMan]

Not to sound like a jerk but it's february and I don't see an update! Haha jk

[StickyiztFingerz]

How did you start bro? did you begin it with back combing and then go neglect or did you start your dreads by neglect as in just never combing it? i have followed thru the years and your hair is just great...

[hellothere640]

It's fun watching your first video !:D you've stuck to growing dreads a long time!

[ahsandworms]

Soooo nice!!!

[SkidplateBowl0fBeans]

I have a question, Im growing growing my hair out What kind of shampoo should i use...before i start dread locks

[eyeheartchrist]

Sorry folks....I know I keep telling you that I will be posting a video soon, and I have definitely been slacking. I guess that's how life does when everything else takes up one's time...that or I'm easily distracted. But seriously, I'll be posting soon...definitely before February. I wanted to get a new camera and I'm currently taking Digital Editing classes at the college here, so hopefully I can offer higher quality material. BUT, I wish Google would fix my account Revenue Sharing soon.

[supereuropaa]

@eyeheartchrist it's february

[eyeheartchrist]

@supereuropaa I know..I keep hoping to record...burning the candle on both ends these days. So yeah, it needs done. ha

[supereuropaa]

@eyeheartchrist happy to hear from you. good luck, your dreads are awesome. i've just started mine a month ago and I hope they'll turn out like yours

[YohItsMe93]

You should make another video!!!! i just started my neglect dreads earlier this week i use a baking soda and vinegar wash/rinse with 2 table spoons of sea salt :D and some lemon juice xD and i am still jammin on my mandolin :D

[supereuropaa]

[kelleyjane07]

[4evaboyz]

[Wadde100]

[mjglass747]

I love them, and I really like the tail that's the only one I've seen and it looks so cool

[DharokDude]

i like ur accent dude

[aprilreneemccarty]

[aprilreneemccarty]

[samuraichuck87]

BEUTIFUL DREADIES BRO!!! WELL DONE RASTA!!

[datorrita]

Ud me parece tan guapo :) Saludos desde Colombia

[agabmx3]

oh and exactly what jason shampoo?

[agabmx3]

whats the 2nd shampoo you named?

[bluelipsredhands]

what method did you use?

[jaestaar]

Somehow I just across these dread videos and i like your hair.

[assidreemz]

@eyeheartchrist rock on man keep it natty

[psynapsurfa]

have you trimmed the ends of the dreads... they look very flat at the end..

maybe it is just thew ay they have grown..

[eyeheartchrist]

@psynapsurfa yeah I've trimmed the ends. It doesn't hurt it, I just got bored one day and trimmed them...I'm OCD, so I ended up doing every one of them. ha

[SONOFADBAG]

Just curious if u shave the little hairs on ur head, do u do it by yourself because it is a little difficult or do u have friends that help u.

[eyeheartchrist]

@SONOFADBAG Nah I don't shave it...I twirl and tuck it in the base of each lock...another OCD act I do...yet it's mostly when I'm driving...ha

[SONOFADBAG]

@eyeheartchrist explain this process im interested.

[DanielNywening]

how do you wash your hair with dreads?

[eyeheartchrist]

@DanielNywening Wet the hair/head, apply shampoo to the scalp, work it in, rinse. Repeat with the locks the second time around...then rinse well.

[mysticarbol]

@eyeheartchrist i was wondering man, what do you do about dandruff? how did you wash your hair without it getting all lose?

[rolewnik283]

When's the next update coming i love seeing how your locks evolved

[nikkiXsaysXrawr]

a fellow floutist with dread <3 hell yea

[eyeheartchrist]

@nikkiXsaysXrawr I've fallen in love with the flute since 1.5 years ago...it just keeps getting better as the days go by! :-)

[XxnickxtcxX]

wicked!! :D

[pbg98pbgpbg98pbg]

your cute thats why you can get away with having your hair like this.

[MadDancing7]

Your videos are great. I've watched all of them, because you give me a good laugh. I like the intro and my favorite dreadlock on your head is the tail. ^^

[MadDancing7]

@MrPrinceOFpa. Anyone who makes comments saying stuff like you did has no life. Grow up and do something educational. I care a lot about my hair. Doesn't make me a faggot.

[leienabeth630]

it looks greAT

[LadyLoliZombie]

I LOVE your dreads! Any tips for a girl on starting with dreading? I'm interested in doing that to my hair, and I'll be working at a Kroger too! Sweeets!

[Dreadhead1994]

Man you have definately the best dreads I've ever seen. Really great job.

[SONOFADBAG]

here is a good strategy to anybody who has people constantly coming up to them and saying nasty shit to u. just say the simple word(s) thanks or thank you. that really irritates them and you arent that angry after words and infact u get a smile out of it. so just say thanks to anything negative people have to say about u. it atleast works for me.

[fayfiboo]

nice

[MrPrinceOFpa]

anyone who cares this much about their hair is a faggot

[fockya]

wow they look amazing! rock on brother! I will check out that shampoo, thanks! I am at about 1 year with mine and I love em, stay locked brother!

[yeshmaam14]

Thumbs up if you've been following this mofo for four years :)

[poeyiis]

FINALLY CONGRATS ON THE 4 YEARS I JUST SAW THIS VIDEO YOUR A HERO!

[VerumBand]

im so fucking drunk right now

[IllusionaryMind8]

@VerumBand Well if you can type this without making any mistake you're certainly not drunk enough!

[UnitedHateLv]

@IllusionaryMind8 I was really drunk. After this, i went outside, got sick and vomited in my neighbours mail box.

this is my new account, btw.

[VideoLalafyied]

you know you can just go and get your hair done instead of doing it this way

[eyeheartchrist]

@VideoLalafyied yeah but it doesn't always turn out like you reallly want it in the end....You may be right, but naturally is how I wanted to take. I can usually tell when someone has naturally formed locks or backcombed....

[SONOFADBAG]

@eyeheartchrist exactly, and it believe it costs about $800 and between 4-8 hours of labor. i also hear wax is very bad for u and is the #1 cause of dreads getting cut. so why spend $800 for something that they will screw up instead of something free and requires little to no maintenance. and they are going to be unique so others will turn out differently.

[SickOmega]

@VideoLalafyied Instant dreads look terrible not to mention how they basically mess up your hair. They're meant to be a journey rather than a fashion statement.

[eyeheartchrist]

@VideoLalafyied nooo...that's a terrible idea. Most people that do that don't keep them very long because it doesn't "turn out like they wanted them to be," or they weren't really into it like they thought...Naturally forming locks sustain much longer than abusing it into locks...since a majority of people tend to overdo the backcombing, which in turn causes damage; it gives the hair time to adjust itself into locks.

[BrennanScottsMama]

Where are you from? And, your dreads are beautiful!

[GerlockHolmes]

hey man i workout at least 5 times a week so my hair gets sweaty and i wash my hair a lot, i use prell and i dont comb my hair, i started my dreadlock journey 2 days ago and im just asking for some advice, do you think if i wash it too much it will slow down the locking process? my hair is straight and thick

[IKeepItRealDuh]

this cracker looks absolutely ridiculous with his dreads

[datdudedave08]

@IKeepItRealDuh cmon man, that's completely uncalled for, if you don't like his crown just keep quiet n keep it movin

[DreadlocknessMonster]

that tail is awesomeness

[strik979]

so I guess you started trimming the frayed tips of your dreads. I was wonder how long you waited to do that i was thinking at least a year for mine.

[eyeheartchrist]

@strik979 yeah I just decided to go for it....it doesn't hurt a thing...:-P

[strik979]

@eyeheartchrist anyways thanks for your videos. I never would have thought of tryin the neglect method if i didn't find ur vids. Cheers!

[XxscenekidzrulexX]

Question.. If I grow dreads naturally can I control the amount of dreads I have??

[eyeheartchrist]

@XxscenekidzrulexX yep, it depends how much you care spend the time to maintain their sizes. :-)

[jmd92087]

how the hell how can u get a job w/ dreads. every where i try to get a job they want me to cut my dreads & ive had mine for A year & ahalf.

[eyeheartchrist]

@jmd92087 Depends where you live, and the sort of jobs you are applying for. I've worked at Target and currently work at Kroger, and nobody has told me I should cut it. The only exception is I'm required to wear a hair net or hat around food service areas.

[MrKobedabest]

How many times a week did you wash your hair during your first year

[eyeheartchrist]

@MrKobedabest once every 2-3 days

[SONOFADBAG]

is apple pectin residue free? cuz i wouldnt mind picking up myself some.

[eyeheartchrist]

@SONOFADBAG yeah as far as I know it doesn't leave any residue; besides, that's why Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda rinses are great. :-)

[Whodinee]

Did you ever confronted lice on your hair since dreading?

[eyeheartchrist]

@Whodinee nope. :-P

[ken2268203]

look like alborosie

[812xCrew]

Hey

[812xCrew]

Hey i decided i want dreads on tuesday lol n im doen the neglect method all the way i was wondering about neutragina anti residue shampoo n if it works n wat shampoo did u use wen u first started ur dreads im excited for my journey n i wanna do it the right way

[eyeheartchrist]

@812xCrew As long as the shampoo rinses out good, you should be fine. I've been using Selson Blue for scalp related issues, and sometimes other various shampoos I've bought here and there.

[BovartNigga]

Maaaan I miss my dreads... :'(

Should I start over..? I cut them off in March, and I still wake up and try to play with my dreads...

[CesarWilly08]

hands down...BEST DREADS ON YOUTUBE! I wish i tried the neglect method

[SONOFADBAG]

dude, u gotta pimp em out a little bit like put a bead or 2 in them, but still they are fricken sweeeeeet!

[bloodraven2471]

how long do you think its takes curly hair to start locking up good?

[meggamike101010]

dude those are nice dreads! ur lucky as shit

[bloodmasta1]

hey dude howz it going? my 4 years is today :) your dreads are coming along very nicely now dude

[potheadpixieee]

You have most beautiful dreadies :D nicey nicey sir!

[13ClownKru]

how have you been keeping them tight at the root

[bay4rl]

heeeey dooood. please tell mee what is the shampoo you are using and what is your favorite one to use???and where to gets it. thanks dude, ive been watchin fo four years!

[3m0k1d4evr]

@bay4rl dont stress the shampoo so much. he uses dr bronners castile soaps though i think. Just wash it with something to keep the scalp clean and not oily and dont comb it. Give it a couple of months and you'll notice knots.

Bless

[eyeheartchrist]

@3m0k1d4evr Actually, I've been using shampoos like Prell Classic, Apple Pectin, Selson Blue(without conditioner), and they work good as well. :-)

[1337Xerlyth]

kool breanz

[marktastic0]

I LOVE  YOUR HAIR!!!

[13ClownKru]

you still got the beaver tail... epic dreads man...congrats

[BLITZFREEDOME]

Looks good. Really good. The tail is amazing :)

[planesoverlames]

you play jazz flute, hahaha. okaaayyy ron burgandy.

i just watched your videos and they really locked up! i'm gonna use the neglect method soon!

[eyeheartchrist]

@planesoverlames just after hearing this, there were already melodic ideas happening, but this video was 100% improvised, even the flute action! "ohhhh the burn is so deep!" love that part

[OneLoveDreadlocks]

Wow, i see your vids since the first one, when you have little dreads haha xD

Cool locks man!

[jameo2kk]

dog you are awesome, im just starting man, thanks man for making this video @eyeheartchrist whens the next video



[eyeheartchrist]

@jameo2kk Not sure yet...I may post an F.A.Q. Sometime, but I would like to be able to know how to use a video editor decently well in order to use various clips and transitions...

[maidenfan10210]

@eyeheartchrist I'd appreciate it.

[jameo2kk]

dog you are awesome, im just starting man, thanks man for making this video @eyeheartchrist

[Soldjahhh]

AMAZING!

[lyopecMILK]

hi< what color you hair?

[888riddim888]

What shampoos do you use?

Any good website links to them? :D

I love your locks so much, great looking :')

[eyeheartchrist]

@888riddim888 I mention the shampoos I use at 1:00, what stores to get them is mentioned there as well, and are on their websites respectively.(with the exception of Jason Shampoo, which is found at a low price on Google, just click shopping on the search after typing jason shampoo.) thanks! take care!

[888riddim888]

@eyeheartchrist Ah yes, sorry I didn't pay full attention to the video :L

thanks man :')

[eyeheartchrist]

@888riddim888 it's no biggie :-)

[TajPeDrad]

YES Ive been waiting for this vid for 6 months!! have you considered doing more regular updates?

[eyeheartchrist]

@TajPeDrad I've been thinking about making tip videos...but maybe I will. :-P

[Rygar84]

Happy Birthday man. Jah Bless!

[WeAreBullets]

was your hair curly or straight before you started? cause i made some nice dreads myself once (not naturally) but i have very asian and pretty straight hair, im afraid i would never be able to get natural dreads. there was a point in time for multiple months that i hadnt been combing my hair at all, but i had really long hair at the time. but now my hair is really short so i could try not combing and maybe when it gets longer it'll sorta grow into dreads..?

[eyeheartchrist]

@WeAreBullets I wasn't sure what it would do, because I've always had short hair until starting locks 4 years ago. it curls on the nape, waves a little...so yeah it probably does slightly curl.

[maskanio1]

dude your locks look amazing now i remember when they were at like 2 years they looked so unorganized but now its legit

[biebergetsmehot]

landau was SO good! he's my favorite! (: do you know him? hahah don't worry i'm definitely voting for him.

[eyeheartchrist]

@biebergetsmehot I met him once at "Coalfield's Got Talent," in Logan a few weeks ago, sang a couple of songs before the band I'm in went on. :-)

[machinegunjay]

awesome dreads man. hope that one day my becomes like yours. very clean. keep it up! :D

[aceridgey]

have you cut them?

[eyeheartchrist]

@aceridgey trimmed them a little....slightly regretted it, but it will continue to grow, thank goodness. ha

[aceridgey]

@eyeheartchrist i am nearly a year in, i am trimming my ends becuase i hate the 2" of straight hair at the end, sometimes progress is slow :(

[eyeheartchrist]

@aceridgey I's worth it, hang in there. haha

[hoberspank]

Talk about split ends!

[eyeheartchrist]

@hoberspank Maybe...I trim the split ends every now and then

[jrbandillneverswitch]

@eyeheartchrist dang bro love ur dreads ive been following ur dreads since u got to 2 years haha

[fockya]

man they look so nice and tight, did you end up crocheting a bit?

[eyeheartchrist]

@fockya Not at all, actually. As quoted in the video, my hands get bored while driving to work and bookings(I drive all the time)...so it has become a habit of twirling and tucking it into the base of locks. haha

[fockya]

looking awesome man, hope mine turn out like this, bean a rough start tho haha.

[eyeheartchrist]

@fockya Don't give up, you'll want to wait it out and see what it does(since posting videos helped a lot with encouraging me to keep at it). haha

[purpletaco542]

Congrats man. Dreads look better than ever
