  • I think I love you.

  • ive been thinking about getting dreadlocks but the one thing that ive been hearing is you cant get them wet, and about how long does 14 inches of hair take to dread

  • @livefree777 hey! im not him but ive had dreads 3 times now and you can get them wet but dont like tie them u or anything like that until the are super dry. And you only really need 3 inches to start dreads but they would be really short.. and if you backcomb it will take a long ass time to do 14 inches.. :) ~JRB~

  • newton faulkner is my most favourited artist ever. i cant stress it enough how much i laughed when you mentioned him near the end. XD

  • does it HAVE to be a metal comb?

  • bol ur a mean drawer and ur dreads r sik az! do u stillhav them u should make a new vid lol and its crack up how u do random az stuff b gud to here bak peace

  • this kid loves his croquet hooks XD. Just kidding, great videos man.

  • How do you wash ur dreads? I just got mine 2 weeks ago n im not ready to wash um yet and also i use gel mine is like mels rasta dread gel n its like 5 bucks what do u think about it?

  • i love your dreads =)

  • Your so sweet :D

    Thanks for the.. year you know ^^

    .. im a ginger too, so now i know how mine are going to look like xD

    but, your awesome dude :D

  • Your dreads are amazing. I am quite jelous. I just put mine in a week and a half ago and some of my hair oh the side of my head in particular where I used to have side burns (mutton chops?) won't stay dreaded. I've backcombed them a number of times now and they've gotten better but do you have any tips to help the process? Also I've washed my hair daily since but only shampood once every four days. Is that too much? After the fact I'm finding I shouldn't have washed much at all. Help?

  • I got a good one for you.... If your dread locks get to long for you liking. Like say.... You're dreads are about 3 inches past your shoulder, and you want to trim off an inch or two. Would it hurt the dreads to cut the inch or two off to make them a bit shorter?

  • yeah you're not neuton faulkner, you're the lost KoRn member

  • :O WOW ok I love your dreds umm. i saw both of you'r videos I'm 17 years old girl and i would love to have the thin dreads and i wanted to aks ,are the made the same cuz i have curly hair not nappy hair just curly hair are they made the same and do you wash the Is there any pisible way to wash them. I would love to see another video where you answere my questoin take much care byeee

  • o.O i dont think i heard a word of u said... u r gorgeous.

  • im working on natural dreads. i havent shampood since i wanted dreads about 3 months ago. i have red hair and its really curly and i feel im getting build up which give my hair a really bad odor. iv been using the wen cleanser which i feel works alright for dreads. but my real question is how im going to get the top of my head to dread because i usually have a comb over or it will lock up over time.. keep in touch great video

  • bloopers..Super Funny..lol..Ur KuteXD

  • You are fucking hilarious,

    very interesting to watch while burning. hahaha

    yeah i plan on dreading my hair im glad you said dont use the wax D;

    I was told to use it, but i suppose naturally letting it dread would be better.

    yeah i have to get goin on that hahaha (; make more videos ! :O

  • I did this for someone with your length. It took about 8 hours. His length is about half yours. I am licensed and have a shop. I charged $375. They pretty much came apart and he came back in 5 weeks. I am charging him $180 the second time.(discounted) Its alot of work. .......... What would you charge for what I did? I live in Cali. For some reason I think I should be charging a whole lot more but what do you think. Am I charging too much or not enough?

  • @braider1100 i was in jamaica when i had mine done and took them out within a month because i wasnt told how to properly maintain them they spent 3 hours on my hair and i paid almost 400 with waxz and shampoo to take home.. i went to a shop when i got home n they said they would have charged close to 600 ... but if there falling out i wouldnt be charging anything for the second time around personally if i owened a business i would want a good word spread

  • @braider1100 what a rip off you have going on

  • @braider1100 i think its enough if you sent him home with the proper matinance stuff then he shoulda taken care of um

  • dude!! pretty hepfull ...bloopers are a nice touch jeje!

  • hi! im thinking of dreading my hair but it is already somewhat dreaded together in places beacuse it is very thick and curly and down to my hips, so its hard to keep combed and what not. so would you suggest unknotting and brushing all of my hair out before dreading or keep what i already have? thanks so much youre videos are very helpful and i also prefer the more natural way :)

  • dRedhead! :D I wanted to start mine last night, but figured I should look up some "how to" first, very usefull vid (:

  • you dreadlocks looks awsome in order. I wish you make my dreadlocks first time. lol

  • I have a question.

    Can you go bathing right after you make your dreads??

  • How do you take care off the dreads how do you wash them?

  • You and your dreads are pretty fucking awesome. They look perfect imo. How much time do you spend maintaining them?

  • im starting my dreads nd one of em started out good but its coming undone .... do i just have to back comb it again or is there anyway i can fix it without doing that?

  • hey man, im white just like you ahah and i was wondering, can i dread my hair into thinner dreads if my hair length is only like four inches?

  • Your amazing. ((: <3

  • love the bloopers. you are gorgeous.

  • hey what are the like round things that people put in one or two of their dreads? and i noticed you have one at the bottom of one of your dreads on YOUR right side! im looking at your video and its on my left side lol. so yeah what are thos? and what do they do?

  • you're very beautiful and your dreads are awesome!

  • You are quite gorgeous

  • the only problem with doing dreads yourself is doing the ones at the back elkano, do you have any tips on how to do it , so i dont have to go to an expensive hair dresser

  • How do you dread your roots..i mean there is normal hair coming and then?? do you just backcomb them?

  • whats d crack dude, i left a comment on ur first video but i dont tink it saved for some reason, i just had a question about wearing a beany hat, i back combed my hair about a week ago (not useing wax) nd it looks mental, so ill have to wear a hat n work n stuff like that, do u tink it will effect them locking up???

  • how do you wash them??

  • can i use a plastic comb instead of a metal one?

  • do u wash them or how do u ?

  • i just started ma dreads yesterday and got the first section done, three things, with showers what do i do to protect the dreads if i where to take one? and secondly how tightly should they be twisted? would you say they need to be tighter in order to dread up well?

  • after you like back comb them, how long would it take for the to "dread up" without wax or anything?

  • elkano... is it possible to trim your dreads. Like if your dreads are very long. and you want them a little smaller, can you just chop it. or will that ruin it?

  • I asked this same question to the loctitian that did my dreads, and she said NOT to trim by yourself. The knots at the ends a big part in what keeps your dreads together, and if you do want them trimmed, get it done by someone who specializes, or is at least experienced, with dreadlocks so yours don't unravel.

  • Need some help, should i shampoo my hair before backcombing to help knot it up? and how long should i wait before backcombing if i've dyed my hair? liking the vids, keep 'em coming, man.

  • Am needing some help, want to put in Dreads but have just dyed hair++ before starting the Backcombing, should i shampoo my hair before hand?

  • when i washed my dreads they smell bad the day after (i think because they are wet for a long time)

    how can i wash my hair without having the trouble of smelling so bad?

  • Like your dreads guy, wanted to know how long you waited since you washed them first? and do you buy residue free shampoo or do you make your own?

  • hey love ya dreads :)

    just wondering, when you first put in ur dreads how long should you wait until you get them wet and stuff? (cause ive put in like a couple of dreads for a week, but then got them wet in the shower and they came out :( they were pretty poorly made but yehh hope u can respond)

  • i'm thinking about getting dreads. but i have very thin hair will my dreads get alot thiner? great vids!

  • how do you take care of them? do you wash them? do you swim? can you go swimming with dreads? thnx

  • Is it ok to tie up dreads when you first get them?

  • 2:38 lmfaooooo

  • LOL@THEBLOOPERSSSS

  • how do you wash dreads

  • like you wash normal hair

  • thanks alot man

  • can you just wash them like you wash normal hair?

  • bloopers were hillarious

  • Awesome. Thanks for all the info! I am thinking of doing dreads and am glad that I stumbled on your videos. Very informative and answered a ton of my questions.

  • the bloopers were really funny

  • how should i get the ends to dread they keep coming apart

  • how do you wash dreads

  • ok heres a questions: what if your dreads get longer than you want|? can it just be cute? or what?

  • i love dreads and i'd love to have them done but i have short hair :/

    your's are like amazing! so long and red xD

    anyway keep it up! your's vids are funny so i love watching them :P

  • Nice video :)

  • so make a VERY LONG part 3.. seems like youve got a whole lot of questions...

    ive got a few for that matter...

    how would i start a brick wall pattern with my the hair, if i was doing them myself? seems like ALOT of paying attention...

    and the whole 'people with dreads cant shower' thing isnt true right? i mean i know products like dreadhead HQ is FOR showering, but i think i should clean the tention...

  • I do wash my dreads, but if I need to shower without getting my hair wet I use.....

    a shower cap.

  • thanks man

  • how many dreads should you usually have like 70 or something

  • so I am thinkin doing my own dreads.. just a few queries.. how long to they take to mature..? because i've seen some new ones that look rather bad - spike up, show your scalp etc.. or is there a method to prevent this? also my hair is on the thin side of medium thickness, curly and when straight, is waist length.. how long do you think my dreads would turn out using your method and if they were a mixture of your thickness and possibly some a bit thicker would i have many?

    many?

    thanks!!

  • Can you dye dreads?

  • yes you can dude, dye away!

  • 2:40-2:45 cracked me up haha!

  • Hey, I must say your dreads are looking mighty fine.

    I was just wondering, how old are your dreadies...

    I am going to get dreads and your video's were very helpfull.. I am totally going to do it myself.

    I got another question... I heared that lemon juice and sea water is very good to tighten your dreads.. did you use things like that?

  • umm , now im srry for asking such a stupid question , but didnt you used to have alot more videos?

  • i did. but youtube gave me a whole bunch of copyright warnings cause i had music in my videos. so had to delete them im afraid. it sucks cause i dont even have the files anymore, so theyre gone. i plan to make a lot of vids soon though...with no copyright infringement :D

  • aww man , well that sucks ... but good to hear you are planning on makeing new vids XD

    good luck on ideas n stuff for them .

     enyways c ya later elcano

  • lol, i was about to message you about that! i thought that was the problem.

  • lol i wonder where youd be if you lost that hook thing... its like your dreads best friend

  • your dreads are absolutely beautiful. wish mine would get this long one day. :) thanks.

  • i heard you have to not wash ur hair for like a week before starting your dreads, is that true?

  • nope

  • hell no !

    actually, if you go to someplace, like hair care place or something like that.. well, they'll tell you to WASH your hair. and plus, if you hair's too thin or too straight they might tell you not to blow dry it and put it on a braid type of thing so your hair gets wavy and as much voluptuous as possible !

  • 2:24 - 2:50 hahahaha laughed my ass of dude ! 5/5 for that bloopers !

  • Dirty hair is bad for dreads. It prevents their growth

  • eeekk i'm getting mine on June 8th. So does your dreads interfere with work and what not, because i'm 18 and i'm terrified i won't be able to find work after i get them. :(

  • I want dreads simply because yours are so interesting to look at.

  • your dreads are exactly the thickness i want, how big were your sections when you started?

  • thanks man nice vid :) why dont you do a dreadlock and upload it to show us exactly the process?? :) one love!

  • Because all of his hair is in dreads and the dreading process takes up to months

  • 2:59 LOL!! i have a question. If i cut my hair like 5 - 7 inches long will my dread stay or dissapear?

  • does your hair grow slower or the same speed as if u didnt have dreads?

  • how long should my hair be?

  • i'm fuckin angry ! i love dreds so much ... i have long hari but i cant find anybody to help me :((

  • you can do it yourself it will just take a long time :P i'm shore you have a couple of friends to help you out and you can just show then how to do it. thats what i did.

  • really not too sure on that one. i would say they would because there is more hair in the thicker dreads to knot up. the skinnier ones have less hair and so wouldnt knot up i as fast i dont think.

  • does your hair grow slower or the same speed as if u didnt have dreads?

  • well hair tends to grow at different speeds for everyone i think. people have said hair grows faster with dreads as there is more weight 'pulling' on the hair, but i really don know if thats how it works or if its just nonsense.

  • do you use a speciall shampoo when u shower ...??? and is it like hella easy to get dandruff

  • hahaha

    you're bloopers made me laugh so hard :D

  • I have dreads and i got mine done with backcombing and then the guy used a crochethook to kinda pull all the loose hair inside the dread and knotted it really tight. He had his done the same way and his looks awesome.

    PS. if you get some flat dreads from sleeping on them etc. will they round out as they grow?

  • yeah, i second SumawTromuks..will they?

  • i couldnt say for all types of dreads/hair etc but mine seem to change shape all the time. like some will get flat after a while them seem to round out. some will get loops that disapear soon after. its weird, kind of like shape-shifter dreads haha. but yeah the ones at the back of your head always seem to be a little flatter than others. they do change over time and if its really bugging you, you can tease them into a rounder shape.

  • dude , that crochette (however u spell it) hook is an awsome idea and it looks like it is way better than palm rolling .

    thank you for your time and advice towards enyone with dreads .

    ...but what i would like to know is how often do u wash your dreads ?

  • cheers, no worries.

    i try to wash them once a week. sometimes its a few months before i wash them. gross i know haha. but it all depends when you have time. cause they take quitea while to dry and then fix up a little after washing, its like a day project haha. but yeah you can wash them as often or not as you like as long as you dry them properly after. people get weird about not washing hair for over a month, but ive never had complaints from anyone about them smelling or anything.

  • aight , so just make shure they are dry when u finish. btw ther isnt enything rong with not washing your hair for that long ......maby if u didnt wash for like 5 years or something it may be a little rank looking . but enyway thanks for your time

  • dude,your dreads are awesome,your vids are very informative helped me with after care so much.

  • cool man. glad i could help.

  • your welcome,i noticed your from scotland that's awesome,i'm like half on my dad's side or something.not too sure.

  • hey dude where are u from?

  • scotland, uk

  • loops never bothered me LOL :) Those are very good dreads...impressed. Mine dont go as good as that as my hair is finer...I'll try better with them this time...and no wax...yak and I've made my own spray instead of buying expensive sh*t ;)

  • thanks for the tip bro....

  • i so want dreads

    i want mine to look like yours

    so when making dreads

    u dont need any wax in the beginning?

  • you dont NEED wax, and in the long run lots of wax actually makes ur dreads pretty dirty. but if u wanna use a little like just to hold the roots together in the BEGINNING, just not very much. I dont have dreads, this is just my opinion

  • ahah jadore les ''bloopers'' à la fin xD

    ''I love bloopers at the end'' ^^

  • cos of all the dead hair in them :/

  • simpler just to cut the loop... anyways, do dreads grow faster then normal hair?

  • why would they???

  • exactly the opposite, becuase the hair grows sideways almost and it makes em gro about a 3rd shorter (if that makes sense)
