Dude You look ugly. White people with dreads dont look right AT ALL. I mean thats just an ugly look for white people. Dreads are for black people bruh c'mon man.
DON'T US ANYYYYYY WAX, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT WAX WILL BUILD UP IN YOUR HAIR AND ITS HARD TO WASH IT OUT. AND ALSO WAX THAT IS LEFT IN YOUR LOCKS FOR A LONG TIME CAN BECOME A MOLD PROBLEM
i dont get the arguing, but people wear dreads for all kinds of reasons all over the world, rasta's rock dreads because "we were created in the lords image,there were no combs or brushes in the begining" right. Celtic warriors wore dreads, vikings, people all over india, new zealand, asia, theres a reason, its not a black or white thing, its a human being thing, and they look cool
the way she's doing that is how to make synthetic dreads back combing breaks hair and flat ironing it will further damage the hair...this shouldn't be called expert village since they don't know shit
hang on, my cousin just did mine today but they end up like curly strands and are hellah greasy. she said to wait about two weeks when they are dry and start twisting....is it supposed to be like that at first. my hair is very curly. plus, this is gonna sound stupid but how do i put a cap on for when i sleep?
gonna grow my hair for two years its around 3-4 inches long now and then im gonna try to make them into dreads after growing for 6-7 months then after two years see the result :) should be fun. thanks for the vid.
this i what white people have to do to get dreads, black people dont have to destroy their hair, they just get it twisted and wait a few months and dats it
i got dreads by have a shower and messing my hair up with a towel really fast after a while it gets nots and matted then after a month it turned into dreads
hahah wow, really? i've been doing that recently, and decided not to take the matted nots out for the last 2 days, because they looked and felt like the start of mini dreads, maybe ill keep going if what you say is true?? did you keep using normal shampoo etc??
dont use wax go to a hair store and get twist and lock gel it washes out and is more natural it dont feel nasty neather. youll like it a lot better than wax
I want dreads cause i hate piking my hair! But idk how they would look like when they start out. click on my profile an look at my jerkin video an look at my afro. tell me if i should get dreads
if u want them get them dont worry about what other people say every one told me not to but i did and i love them. and it dont matter what kind of hair u got ...... they do look like a mess at first but then they get good
dreads have been in every culture ever sence people had hair... so thousands of years. and every ones hair naturally dreads even without backcombing. don't brush your hair for a few months c what happens lol all it takes is time and keep them cleen
yes dreads have been in most cultures but im not talking about thousands of years ago,the rasta jamaicans are one of the only current religion/cultures to have used and worn dreadlocks till this current day.
ever country still has them its just most known in Jamaica but it shouldn't be about race,.... and there are white rasta's "not me" but a lot of times part of being rasta is the dreads they look good on every one white black asian purple " yes even barney looks good with them "
what the hell is she doing??lol..i had locs for 2 years til i cut them..i didnt back comb anything!all you have to do is twist it..you can use gel and beeswax depending on how clean you want to keep your hair.or you can use shea butter and honey or you could go natural or start from double strand but all that back twisting is really not necessary.
holy fuck, if you want dreads just grow your hair out, dont comb it, and dont use any shampoo with residue. your hair with eventually mat (yeah it takes time, but true dreads do) and after 8-10 months they will start to look really good. back combing works, but its too much hassle. everyone knows that you shouldnt touch dreadwax.
no offense, but im a black american ( i dont know any africans from the motherland) and i want to see someone do this loc'ing on kinky hair of ppl of color if you can. no offense, its just that these vids arent helping me much. my hair is curly and around 2.5-3 inches long and maybe 1.5 in the back on the bottom. i started from a tapered fade and so it'll grow like that. Please try to do a kinky vid. Thanks
There is nothing to dread about locs. Please stop calling them dreadlocs. There called "LOCS". That term "Dreadlocks" is a racially degrating term used by whites in the context of "look at those dreadful locs" There nothing to dread about "locs". Jesus had hair of locs not hair of dread locs. Change the title please, uneducated people are watching, its sends the wrong message to a community who is still learning to be proud of itself.
Actually, BLACKXV, the term 'dreadlock' comes from rastas showing society that they were only God fearing people. and the the fact of you bringing up race in a dreadlock discussion, only furthers unity of all races. all types of hair will naturally dread, black white, eskimo, egyptian. ANd we are all africans, whether you worship God or Darwin, whether the pigments in your skin make you the darkest of the black, or the palest of white. Dont preach to the uneducated unless your educated
@BLACKXV I'm glad you know the truth and whoever said you're wrong about the term dreadlock needs to look up the history of a the loc. I agree, there is NOTHING dreadful about a loc.
just let them do what they would do naturally. never use wax it can cause mold. and you dont want to use conditioner either because its mean to make hair smooth and get out knots. just palm roll them every other day and mess around with them and make them all nice when your bored and they should turn out great.
natural dreads are how alot of people do it. wash your hair 2-3 times a week and DO NOT use any shampoo's with residue. do not comb or run fingers through your hair at all, and just let your hair do its thing. it takes forever, but thats what dreads are about; patience.
i used to have dreadlocks before i cut them..i did the natural thing too..they wont knot as long as you keep them seperate..you could twist them every now and again to make sure they dont get stuck 2gether n one big knot
dread wax is bad for your dreads if you put alot, im going to agree with bassplayer on this one, but most people REALLY overkill on the wax and it is hard to get the wax out once youve gobbed it on there like an idiot
people always crying bout wax.. aint nothing wrong with it.. just dont put alot, evenly spread it, and wash your hair good when its time,.. and use bakin soda and viniger
i had locks for a tiny while n this seems a extreamly long process, not backcombing, but this advise, n id say natural dreads look better too... just my oppinion though, all to there own
I've got naturals and they take fucking AGES and more maintenance than man-made. Like keeping the roots corrupted is impossible for the first few years.
Don't use wax. It'll harden and become impossible to remove after it turns into a solid form right in the center of each of your dreads. And it'll force you to cut your dreads, and restart. No wax. Just natural vegetable-based shampoos and lots of time.
I use wax in mine, I have had no problems. The wax is thinly spread and easily kept soft at room temperature. Wax is 100% fine to put in your hair, as long as you don't put in too much, and you buy some good wax, try dreadhq, knottyboy or find some Dr. Brauners products.
Even some products don't work well on black hair (course, curly, dry, and kinky). I am going to try to interlock his hair without the product (wax)or even backcombing. I will keep a diary and share with you all.
This conversation is a realistic one. I am black and have locks. I use various types of products for my hair. I will start working with my first straight haired client who is mexican... I am so against the wax! It made his hair feel slick and gummy. I know in the long run this will F.... up his hair and break it off. My problem is looking for someone who can give me good advice on this. I find that people are aruging about color and hair texture. What works for one does not always work for
What the fuck,I'm white and I hear we need a lot of wax?Then my buddie who is black and already has bad ass dreads say's to use nothing?I have straight ass fucking hair that don't want to loc,wont stay twisted!!Please anyone,how do I get my hair to lock?HELP
man..... well check it out im hispanic, and honestly the best way to go is neglecting or, backcombing, lately if been thinking of the salt water but im not really sure, im going to see what keeps happening to my hair....
Wax, shea butter, any of these things cause nasty buildup that will make your hair brittle, and unattractively full of lint and dirt over time. This I am specifically speaking toward African hair. As locs mature, you will want to be at a point where you actually don't need anything but a palmroll to keep up the maintenance. If you are particularly anal about your parts, then nothing more than some aloe vera gel and nature's blessing-anything that will wash out easily and condition your hair.
I'm black and I use wax in my hair. It has been very good to my hair, I don't have any breakage, and my hair isn't brittle or dry from it. I just celebrated my first dread loc anniversary today, and I highly endorse ppl to use wax for thier locs.
i never used nothing on mine and they are beatifull and perfect.. just dont wash like for 2 months and than wash like twice a week.. and grab a needle and put the hair back into the dreads
sorry but i find that disgusting. It mau work with european hair, however with african hair you can was it once every 3-4 days and it will have locked up within two months. with african hair it actually locks quicker if you clean it well, as leaving it to gather dirt and grime, retards growth and can cause scalp problems. hotep
Exactly!!! Clean hair locs much better than dirty hair regardless of ethnicity. And clean hair shows that you have much better hygeine as well which is always a plus
the reason you should use a good wax on caucasion hair, is because you cant use conditioner and your hair will dry out. It replenishes nutrients to the hair.
can some1 help me please? 3 days ago i got dreadlocks done, i didn touch em, i didnt wash em yet but already alot of hair is coming out throughout the whole lenght but mostly at the scalp. also the dreads are slowly loosening up and im scared that within a few weeks i will look like a big fur ball. im trying the croshet needle thingy but the hair just pops back out. any TIPS? should i buy wax? how to apply it? how to was em? what should i do to keep them looking cool
yea but its gona look like shit though, literately. and the process will be a little different depending on your race and or hair grain also. but i wud prefer the wax way trust me! i dont know u know or not but its not really wax, its like grease. if u dont want to do it de wax way, then u cud also use a gel thats made jus 4 dreading. i think the gel is betta 4white or like non curly type hair. anyways hope this help towards ya goal.
Never us wax its bad for ur hair and ull have better dreads if let it do it naturally. just dont comb ur hair ever dont mess with it and just let it do its thing
How long have you had your dreads? i've only had mine(dreads) in 4 about 5 months. i've been buying the shampoo from a website made just for dreads. They told me that its good to use the wax when their imature, and switch to a dread spray conditioner when they grow longer.. is this false? i mean my dreads are comming along nice rite now but i don't want them to break off in the long run. and also i don't want the dirty, don't do anything to them kind of dreads eitheir. if u have any other advice
its easier to back comb smooth washed hair than greasy hair.. and if you don't put wax in your hair locks up naturally with its own grease.. i did my dreads with nothin but a metal comb and a crochet hook..
what size did you seperate your hair into, like I know in the video you said like 1x1. did you do yours this way because I like the size of your dreads.
worst tutorial ever. you arent supposed to use wax at all it keeps your hair from tangling and you didnt even show a person getting it done! I give it an F-
In fact, there are many ways of dread locking.... Using wax is just one of them, and In my opinion, is the best one, because the first day you get you dreads they already look relatively ok..
I meant that if someone wants their dreads to look fine the first day they get it, they can use wax to keep them together... I dont see anything wrong in using wax, exept the fact that the first layer will remain in there forever..
And yes, I am worried about how good they will look. It doesnt make any sense to get dreads if you dont care if they look ok or not..
the first layer wont stay there forever what the hell? if you WASH it out you should be fine. I didnt say you had to care wether they look good or not i was just saying they will be messy for the first few months or even longer so if you care that much about keeping them perfect then dreads are not for you.
It does stay there and it is extremely hard to get out... I heard boiling water works very good though... And, if Im not wrong, you said, and I quote: "If you are worried about how neat they look you should think about a different hairstyle." So ya, you kind of said one should not care if they look good or not...
Lets just stop this useless rant... You are just one of those 14 year olds that look who to flame over the internet to feel "powerful" or important...
no i said what i typed. Neat. I meant that they wouldnt be neat in other words they would be messy for awhile. Some people might think that looks good and then again some people dont. Oh and by the way i am a 24 year old who has dreads so i think i know what im talking about.
And that was what I meant with my first post... I was not saying that you where wrong, I was just saying that IN MY OPINION using wax was the best method..
Whatever, lets just end this, it serves no purpose.
All wax will stay in your hair until melted out. It rejects water, so no matter how much you wash, unless you use boiling water it just won't come out.
The best way I've seen to take care of messy hair is to pull it in with a crochet needle. The only problem here is that it would be difficult to do yourself I'm sure.
wax is good for the initial dreading prcess as young dreadlocks tend to be uncooperative and will losen themselves if slept on etc, knotty boy make a locksteady tightening gel with is also good, i wouldnt recomment any product use after 6 months though.
Thats very good to know, tanks. I hope to start my dreading process in about 4-5 months, as I still have to wait a little for my hair to grow. I decided to grow dreads when I had a half centimeter haircut lol.
Wax is a fine method i find, ive only had mym dreads for a few weeks and are havin a bit of trouble knotting them up properly, but the wax washes out easily. Just get your hands on some shampoo that removes residues and it strips wax rite out
Excuse for coming off ignorant but im tired of seeing tutorials of white people dreading their hair, can i get sumone my skin color, i mean we do have different textured hair
hey eyechrist dis is my 2nd time growing my dreads they used to be down a lil bit passed my shoulder then i cut dem off nowi grew them again there about 3 inches but the lady who used to do my hair used beez wax the worst wut i did wuz bought a aloe plant cut the jell middle out and stir it in a cup and used dat in replace to da wax my dreads are awesome maybe ill put dem on youtube
whats up my youtube people i have a question... i have real skinny dreads & im trying to twist atleast 3 or 4 together to make them bigger because when they get longer they might break off, but what can i use to make it stay without getting it platted? can somebody please respond? thanx... oh yeah im black so i got black people hair (just thought i'd slide dat in dere) oh yeah check out my commercial to see how skinny they are, there a lot longer now but you get the point
hey i have a question like is it easy to get dreds im working on mine my hair is about 3 inches past my shoulder but does your hair get shorter as you get dred locks?
Yea, any form of pure aloe is good, you can get it from the pharmaceutical section in wal-mart/kmart, whatever store you choose....but please, no wax!
I couldn't agree with you any more...applying wax the first time was the biggest mistake ever. then I combed/conditioned it out, started all over, now the wax thing is history.
ive heard wax is rly good for making dreads mate.. ive read a lot at the knottyboy website.. and sounds like its quite good :).. isnt that true or ?. i soon gonna make them but shouldnt i buy the wax??
and you know

i had locks for a tiny while n this seems a extreamly long process, not backcombing, but this advise, n id say natural dreads look better too... just my oppinion though, all to there own

I've got naturals and they take fucking AGES and more maintenance than man-made. Like keeping the roots corrupted is impossible for the first few years.

I'm on my third set of dreads since 1992, and have never used wax. Dr. Bronner's is good to wash them with.

Don't use wax. It'll harden and become impossible to remove after it turns into a solid form right in the center of each of your dreads. And it'll force you to cut your dreads, and restart. No wax. Just natural vegetable-based shampoos and lots of time.

I use wax in mine, I have had no problems. The wax is thinly spread and easily kept soft at room temperature. Wax is 100% fine to put in your hair, as long as you don't put in too much, and you buy some good wax, try dreadhq, knottyboy or find some Dr. Brauners products.

i was told not to put wax in my locs but to use aloe, its natural, and it doesnt leave build up. also, it doesnt make your hair brittle.

Even some products don't work well on black hair (course, curly, dry, and kinky). I am going to try to interlock his hair without the product (wax)or even backcombing. I will keep a diary and share with you all.

This conversation is a realistic one. I am black and have locks. I use various types of products for my hair. I will start working with my first straight haired client who is mexican... I am so against the wax! It made his hair feel slick and gummy. I know in the long run this will F.... up his hair and break it off. My problem is looking for someone who can give me good advice on this. I find that people are aruging about color and hair texture. What works for one does not always work for

Wax, shea butter, any of these things cause nasty buildup that will make your hair brittle, and unattractively full of lint and dirt over time. This I am specifically speaking toward African hair. As locs mature, you will want to be at a point where you actually don't need anything but a palmroll to keep up the maintenance. If you are particularly anal about your parts, then nothing more than some aloe vera gel and nature's blessing-anything that will wash out easily and condition your hair.

I'm black and I use wax in my hair. It has been very good to my hair, I don't have any breakage, and my hair isn't brittle or dry from it. I just celebrated my first dread loc anniversary today, and I highly endorse ppl to use wax for thier locs.

dreadlocks dont take wax... they take time ..
i never used nothing on mine and they are beatifull and perfect.. just dont wash like for 2 months and than wash like twice a week.. and grab a needle and put the hair back into the dreads
origongas 3 years ago
sorry but i find that disgusting. It mau work with european hair, however with african hair you can was it once every 3-4 days and it will have locked up within two months. with african hair it actually locks quicker if you clean it well, as leaving it to gather dirt and grime, retards growth and can cause scalp problems. hotep
gangstadread 3 years ago 3
Exactly!!! Clean hair locs much better than dirty hair regardless of ethnicity. And clean hair shows that you have much better hygeine as well which is always a plus
tummielvr 3 years ago 2
Yes, clean hair makes it lock better because it doesnt have any oils or whatever in it. and moisture wouldnt help it lock.

the reason you should use a good wax on caucasion hair, is because you cant use conditioner and your hair will dry out. It replenishes nutrients to the hair.

yea but its gona look like shit though, literately. and the process will be a little different depending on your race and or hair grain also. but i wud prefer the wax way trust me! i dont know u know or not but its not really wax, its like grease. if u dont want to do it de wax way, then u cud also use a gel thats made jus 4 dreading. i think the gel is betta 4white or like non curly type hair. anyways hope this help towards ya goal.

How long have you had your dreads? i've only had mine(dreads) in 4 about 5 months. i've been buying the shampoo from a website made just for dreads. They told me that its good to use the wax when their imature, and switch to a dread spray conditioner when they grow longer.. is this false? i mean my dreads are comming along nice rite now but i don't want them to break off in the long run. and also i don't want the dirty, don't do anything to them kind of dreads eitheir. if u have any other advice

jambiitrois 3 years ago
In fact, there are many ways of dread locking.... Using wax is just one of them, and In my opinion, is the best one, because the first day you get you dreads they already look relatively ok..
cmpasf 3 years ago 2
relatively ok? If you are worried about how neat they look you should think about a different hairstyle.
MaeganDobash 3 years ago
I meant that if someone wants their dreads to look fine the first day they get it, they can use wax to keep them together... I dont see anything wrong in using wax, exept the fact that the first layer will remain in there forever..
And yes, I am worried about how good they will look. It doesnt make any sense to get dreads if you dont care if they look ok or not..
cmpasf 3 years ago
the first layer wont stay there forever what the hell? if you WASH it out you should be fine. I didnt say you had to care wether they look good or not i was just saying they will be messy for the first few months or even longer so if you care that much about keeping them perfect then dreads are not for you.
MaeganDobash 3 years ago
It does stay there and it is extremely hard to get out... I heard boiling water works very good though... And, if Im not wrong, you said, and I quote: "If you are worried about how neat they look you should think about a different hairstyle." So ya, you kind of said one should not care if they look good or not...
Lets just stop this useless rant... You are just one of those 14 year olds that look who to flame over the internet to feel "powerful" or important...
cmpasf 3 years ago
no i said what i typed. Neat. I meant that they wouldnt be neat in other words they would be messy for awhile. Some people might think that looks good and then again some people dont. Oh and by the way i am a 24 year old who has dreads so i think i know what im talking about.
MaeganDobash 3 years ago
And that was what I meant with my first post... I was not saying that you where wrong, I was just saying that IN MY OPINION using wax was the best method..
Whatever, lets just end this, it serves no purpose.

Wax is wonderful if you want to look like a candle factory in a few months. Chunks of wax falling out of your hair makes a great conversation piece.
anon540 3 years ago
I have heard that, but arent there special waxes, like for example "Knotty Boys", that are supposed to prevent that effect??
cmpasf 3 years ago
All wax will stay in your hair until melted out. It rejects water, so no matter how much you wash, unless you use boiling water it just won't come out.
The best way I've seen to take care of messy hair is to pull it in with a crochet needle. The only problem here is that it would be difficult to do yourself I'm sure.
anon540 3 years ago
So, what can you use instead of wax?
Do you still use the backcomb-twist-palmroll way, or is there another way when not using wax?
cmpasf 3 years ago
wax is good for the initial dreading prcess as young dreadlocks tend to be uncooperative and will losen themselves if slept on etc, knotty boy make a locksteady tightening gel with is also good, i wouldnt recomment any product use after 6 months though.
ketaminebean 3 years ago
Thats very good to know, tanks. I hope to start my dreading process in about 4-5 months, as I still have to wait a little for my hair to grow. I decided to grow dreads when I had a half centimeter haircut lol.

Wax is a fine method i find, ive only had mym dreads for a few weeks and are havin a bit of trouble knotting them up properly, but the wax washes out easily. Just get your hands on some shampoo that removes residues and it strips wax rite out
