I whip my dreads back & forth

[misterjohnson24]

oh my god your hair got so long..i was watching a video from 2008 when you were talking about if you ever cut them.. glad you didn't. can you give me advice?

[whitners1205]

hahaha i just watched Mean Girls. Love the Glenn Coco reference!

[mihailo343]

And this is why i hate my country ... there is no black girls in here :(

[travsd33]

u might have answered this already.. but how did u learn to do your own hair?

[KJSPianoGoddess]

I still kinda wanna dread my hair cuz I love how yours looks but I probably don't have the patience to wait for it to get that long lol

[KJSPianoGoddess]

It seems pretty sudsy, if that's a word lol. But that is a lot for a bottle and you have a lot of hair.

[Back2Nap1120]

I use Giovanni Deeper Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. Organic...Natural....and the price is great...You can get them 2 for the price of 1 sometimes at Rite Aid/CVS/Walgreens etc. Also try Trader Joes brand as well....thats also good. For a really great clarifying shampoo you can never go wrong with Dr. Bronners castille soap

[DreaYeya]

What I wouldn't give for hair that THICK :) Beautiful Dari,absolutely beautiful :)

[ShizzeProDucTion]

u actually look like a older vesion of Wiilow :D hehe

[XRobertX009]

i just paid $23 for a little bottle of shampoo and conditioner i was like wow i never spent this much on hair products to wash my hair.

[naydafly]

your hair got so long 

[TelishaQJ]

NOT CHEAP....ECONOMICAL !!!!! *q*

[bboylocks21]

I can't stop watching your videos, Major crush on you...dam so sexy:)

[TheHighnotes718]

over time would you say that your locs got thicker? B/c im about to start my locs, and i have a lot of hair but the individual strands are pretty fine...

[MissLoveTantei91]

@TheHighnotes718 They say locs get thicker over time because they retain all of the shed hair that would normally just fall out. And on average you shed about 100 hairs a day. o_o

[applesandmustard]

@TheHighnotes718 yea they definitely puff up after a while

[kitabare76]

You should condition the ends they need it most. Especially with the color.

[hoelyone]

youwantno real dread:)

[jazzyslim2005]

Dr Bronners!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it and although it may seem expensive but in comparison to other shampoos you buy for the same price, you got a lot more than 8ounces worth...

[ooak25]

your sexy as hell, luv da dreads

[DynamicRunner]

You are too cute talking on the phone about your hair while making a video about your hair, lol! We all do that. :-D Your locs look great by the way. I tried BB's shampoo and it just dries out my hair and scalp like crazy (the one used in my 'wash my locs in 5 min.' video). That's the last time I used that shampoo and i've gone the natural route too.

[applesandmustard]

@DynamicRunner what do you use now?

[DynamicRunner]

I use Alaffia's line of Shampoo. It's all natural (w/ black soap), a free trade product and smells so good! :-) 

[Shyloh8]

Holy cow you have alot of hair... it's growing like crazy. - LOL @ keeping the sound of water..bahahaha! - Yeah, dude.. $7.99 is alot to me too but in shampoo you definitely get what you pay for. I went to the store the other day and saw some shampoo I needed, but it was $18.00!! I was like, "Oooooh heck no. I just bought the smaller version instead for $6.00 lolol. I'm frugal, too.. but it's all good!! Your hair rocks so hard.. seems like a lot of maintenance, though. Kudos.

[prepkid5]

im 16 years old, and have locs. if i had a 16 year old girlfriend just like you...my life would be 100x better. i love you dari.

[dontstop98198]

Keep it up love ur videos...i hop i can grow my dreads for that long

About to get my frist twist

[applesandmustard]

@heymynameiskaylaaa 4 FOR YOU GLEN COCO YOU GO GLEN COCO!

[applesandmustard]

@RB179D ummm i dunno. did you? how does that make you feel?

[Kingtunice]

i think i speak for all the guys when i say you would be the perfect girlfriend

[applesandmustard]

@Kingtunice awwww shucks. thank you :) i'd like to think so too.

[yjsdeed]

@applesandmustard he is right

[EmmyTah84]

damn girl them dreads geting longer ..how many year old now??

[applesandmustard]

@EmmyTah84 four and a half

[420159]

so pretty

[face2face46]

I don't have dreads but I have natural hair. I wait about 3 weeks sometimes too...doing your own hair takes a while especially when you have a full schedule.

[face2face46]

What's your blog?

[Amaizying]

You could make your own soap...

[applesandmustard]

@Amaizying that sounds difficult. how so?

[Amaizying]

@applesandmustard Well you could buy glycerin or make it, making its the hard part. but you can just buy it and add your own scents to it. Its like $10 on amazon for 2 pounds. As of conditioner, that ones a little tricky. For a natural one, you can mash up an avocado and mix it with coconut milk. Idk, if you'd want to do that though...might be weird for locs lol

[Amaizying]

@Amaizying There are recipes online.

[lilsim55]

how long you been growin ur locs?

[applesandmustard]

@lilsim55 since summer of 06. 4.5 yearsss

[NYC1BX]

WOW WHY THE HELL WAS I JUST STUCK ON YOU WASHIN' YOUR HAIR? I FEEL LIKE A DAMN POT HOT LOL!!!

[ssikmoi88]

You always crack me up. Glen cocoa.. You gotta do what works for you. x

[Cherished131]

@RB179D ~I'm stopping at 3:16...I get it..washing hair...ok. Great video as always though.

[IdaRodionov]

You have very long hair now, how long did it take to get you hair that long? Also, you're very beautiful :)

[curliefro]

You have fast hair growth. Gorgeous locs :)

Dr Bronner's is a cheaper natural cleaner - a little goes a long way

[MoNappyLuv]

Dari, how's that lock coming along that you took out and retwisted?

[applesandmustard]

@MoNappyLuv it's catching up with his brothers and sisters. i'll try to show it next video.

[metyshy]

after the videos ended i was like, did i just watch u watch your hair... dread get me in a tranze

[Rinos87]

Dar-Dar (I feel like I can call u Dar-Dar because in my head we are friends...#noweirdo) I love you videos! Hey check my videos out tell me what u think!

[apache551]

good for you glenn coacoa lol

[ogurl08]

@RB179D

yes u did and I just did too lol

[afor0902]

Kind of soothing!!

[Vampirictattoo]

I think Rihannas "take a bow" haircut would really suit you !!!

[masterl14]

The washing of your hair just felt like art to me! Dunno why just saying! Lol

[desala2007]

Mannn I wouldn't have the patience to do all that for an hour every week either lol...looks good though

[MerciX1001]

3 weeks is a long time.

[Greynutable]

if i had hair that long, I would probably take 3 weeks for me to wash it too!

[soundlyawake]

yes.

you hair. i want to caress it.

with my face.

[DisorderlyKonduct08]

Love your look....makes me want to grow dreads...then reality hits and i realize im too lazy for all that!

[kpleasan]

I"m with ya girl...I don't spend all that time washing weekly

[dunte86]

Your hair is sooooo long!!! you know, if you didn't realize =) I just thought about your old vids while watching and came to that conclusion. YUP

[dportis47]

Whip it real hard!

[DaeDae1908]

Dari u just went in at 1:33 lmao

[SevaLife]

dr.bronners mint or lavender lady...you can dilute it..tingling goodness for dreedies and

it will last longer..100% natural...

[twweety9]

@SevaLife omg i love tht stuff it feels like im massaging my hair omg love it

[EmpressZingha]

you hair got soo long girl!! wow! hope for me and locks yet LOL

[torinakins]

i miss you talking about your hair.

[applesandmustard]

@torinakins really? i feel like i just say the same unhelpful things over and over and over again =/

[theeSHXT]

burts bees is ass dari. they're owned by clorox. put 2 and 2 together. i highly doubt they're THAT natural.

[applesandmustard]

@theeSHXT eh well. they just got $17 of my money. i'll try something else next time. what do you suggest?

[Sleepyeyez1]

good for you glen coco!

my friend gives me little samples of burt's bee's every so often, I can't pay tht price

[GemmaHey]

no wonder its puffu apple!!! you use conditioner!!! dont do that..

[VuittonDona]

@GemmaHey  I have locs, why not use conditioner?

[twweety9]

@GemmaHey conditoner moisturizes

[applesandmustard]

@GemmaHey OMG. WHY NOT?!

[GemmaHey]

@applesandmustard cus it obvi makes the hair soft. it leaves residue and its harder for the dread to keep its hard state..but i guess you dont want harder dreads like white people have..only soft twisted..?

dont get me wrong. i love your hair. but the reason why it puffs up is the conditioner hun...

have a nice day:)

[jedibugmaster23]

YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL

[rythebrain]

I miss the great music that I used to hear in your "washing my dreads" videos :(

[GraphittiDM]

why are we not friends on FB?! i feel forgotten.

[applesandmustard]

@GraphittiDM WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?

[nichole307]

I don't like it when I have to wash my hair every day :( I look greasy if I don't. Damn genes. So $20 for shampoo and conditioner could last you like a year if you wash it every other week. $20 a year for hair care? *Looks at her $30 a month for shampoo, conditioner, mousse, and hairspray* Lucky..

[Soulja4Alethia]

lil tidbit, although I'm not sure it would work on your hair since mine's different and you have dreads, but just in case - I don't use synthetic products if I can at all avoid it, so I've started conditioning before I shampoo with a mixture of olive and castor oil, and washing that out with castile soap - it's still about eight bucks, but the bottle's at least twice as big, if not more, than Burt's Bees. Then I comb through with aloe gel. Poor chick's way of beating the system - sort of lol

[xxTRUTHxx1]

Your lookin hot at 7:48

[vantesishere]

"Washing it... conditioning it... twisting it... drying it... LOVING it...."

lol. Like, did you practice that? It sounds like it just NEEDS to be in some conditioner commercial.

[applesandmustard]

@vantesishere i didnt. it was off the top of the dome. i'll have my manager make a note of that. super stardom here i come!

[JOLI3TJON3Z]

[deshawn6152]

[burgandyblood]

I love to hear you sing for the brief moments you do, you have such a gorgeous voice! =)

[reubenbridges]

Xcellent video.

[raishad2009]

GOOD FOR YOU GLEN COCO! LLS!

[WatDoUWannaKnow]

i must say, the sound of you washing your hair was very soothing! -- that kinda sounds creppy though HAHAHAHA :D

[applesandmustard]

@WatDoUWannaKnow it's not creepy...it IS soothing. thats why i didnt put the music in. mhmm see i knew what i was doing :)

[lostMARLEYchild]

omgosh your hair is sooo long now! ... im so jealous

[peachesandsunshine9]

o yea and if you REALLY want to go natural, you can twist your hair with aloe vera gel. Not the gel you buy in a tub, but literally buying the aloe vera leaf, cracking it open, and using that gel to twist your hair with lol. and you can put the leaf in the freezer to save the gel. I think the gel has a pretty strong hold and it dries clear.

[applesandmustard]

@peachesandsunshine9 i heard about that. where do you get aloe vera from?

[peachesandsunshine9]

@applesandmustard i can buy the leaf at a local farmers market for pretty cheap. Just as a warning, raw aloe vera gel is a little slimy and sticky lol! if you just want the gel in a bottle with a better consistency, you can get Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel.

[peachesandsunshine9]

hey i buy african black soap (looks more like a tan speckled stone) and i melt it down with a little hot water and use that to wash my dreads.

[MyLifeAsAlicia]

so how long have you been dreading?

[applesandmustard]

@MyLifeAsAlicia about 4.5 years

[MochaChaiChica]

love the song at the end!!!!!!!!!!!! =) sttttttaaaay beautiifffulllllll dariiiiii

[Hazardz09]

DAmn ur hair got hella long ... lol... do u still do gymnastics

[applesandmustard]

@Hazardz09 i dont =/ that was a random question. i wish i did though!

[KishaRenee89]

OMG!! you get 10 bonus cool points for "Glen Coco" I LOVE SAYING THAT!!!

[joanolisa1]

Dr. Bronners is a real winner!

[applesandmustard]

@joanolisa1 really? where do you get it from?

[RoyalEleven2]

dari = the ultimate dreadhead veteran!!

[KrissyJay678]

$8? i wish any shampoo cost that here... nice dreads ;)

[applesandmustard]

@KrissyJay678 where are you and how much does it cost there? more than $8??

[KrissyJay678]

@applesandmustard I live in Barbados and the average CHEAP one is $10, but anything that is actually any good can easily be much more... things here are uber over priced lol

[ReillyAJ]

i just like watchin things get clean.

gosh, what a process! your hair has gotten so long!

you so gazorgoeus.

[OlyCaz]

You are too funny! I have been watching your videos for a while (went back to earlier videos to catch up) and joined youtube so that I could leave you and some of my other favorites comments.

[applesandmustard]

@OlyCaz man you went back to catch up on them? thats pretty intense! i appreciate it anyway though :)

[Hazardz09]

isnt the mango and lime natural?? or does it have sulfate?? anyway i have been lookin for one too found a good conditioner but no go on a good shampoo try.

[applesandmustard]

@Hazardz09 it's not natural, well it doesn say it is so it probably does have sulfate in it. if i had a bottle handy i'd let you know but i'm all out =/

[idoubledk]

do u think a black male can be sucessful in the business world with dreads

[applesandmustard]

@idoubledk sure do. anyone can in my opinion as long as it's neat. whatdver business and companies say is another story. it's just hair!

[MsH0neychile]

i loved the curls, but ur beautiful either way :)

[Thawtz007]

have you ever tried the 'ACV' Rinse? it's supposed to be the best for 'natural' hair

[flutturi]

@Thawtz007 you cant use ACV all the time, it will dry out your hair. It basically acts as a clarifier to get rid of build up.

[applesandmustard]

@Thawtz007 yea i've done it twice. and like @flutturi said i think you're only supposed to do it sparingly so it doesnt dry out your hair.

[LovelyJor]

omg...i think you were talking about me.....lol.

i love you. and ur hair. glad u tried it out.

[TheHighnotes718]

what do you use to moisturize?

[applesandmustard]

@TheHighnotes718 any kind of oil or like..braid spray? which basically is oil. i just spray it o there every couple of days. easy easy.

[royalschwarz]

Gawd, how I wish I could have locs and make them look half as nice as yours

[applesandmustard]

@royalschwarz you can! anyone can!

[luvlilocs34]

I wash my hair every 3 weeks, too! ;) It's allllll goood!

[applesandmustard]

@luvlilocs34 HIGH FIVE! we here, we here.

[katiebrookeee]

your dreads r soooo long now! how long ru guna grow them?

[applesandmustard]

@katiebrookeee hmmmm i'm not sure. maybe down to my waist?

[BlueBajan]

Try Black Soap. I use the Dudu-Osun Black Soap. The only thing in there that isn't exactly natural is the fragrance.

[applesandmustard]

@BlueBajan soap for your hair? is it good?

[BlueBajan]

@applesandmustard I think it's actually better than most shampoos which will dry out your hair more because of the sulfates. (Personally, I only use shampoo on my locs every 3 or 4 washes just to make sure my locs don't get any build up, but they feel noticably dry after)

ingredients: Pure Honey, Shea Butter, Osun (camwood), Palmkernel Oil, Cocoa Pod Ash, Palm Bunch, Ash, Aloe Vera, Lime Juice, Essential Oil Blend, Water

(Note that honey and shea butter are known to be natural emollients)

[DaTqUeEnRaY]

i feel like a stalker watching you wash your hair -_-

oh well :D lol

[applesandmustard]

@DaTqUeEnRaY *looks slowly over shoulder*

[clazzofoeight]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG! You wear dreads really well. I like the way they're long and pretty! (: Now I randomly wanna go wash my hair, but it's toooooooooooooo cold!

[applesandmustard]

@clazzofoeight i always get cold when i wash my hair and i hate that it gets my shirts all wet =/ wash it in the shower. it's a win win situation :)

[dontstop98198]

How long u been growing ur hair...

[applesandmustard]

@dontstop98198 i started my dreads on 6/6/06 soo about 4.5 years

[Saccaria101]

this girl is sooooooo sexy to me ( IDK if you into women but if you ever were ) lol well u know

[applesandmustard]

@Saccaria101 *wink wink nudge nudge*

[Saccaria101]

@applesandmustard dont do that to me girl...you just sent all kind of thoughts through my head lol mmm mmmm lol

[5016jay]

love your hair thanks for the video.

[trypleknowledge]

I just washed my hair this morning but this vid makes me want to wash it again, I loved the sound of the water lol

[applesandmustard]

@trypleknowledge seee told you! it's relaxing. 

[katiebrookeee]

i wish i could wash my hair every 2 weeks

[katiebrookeee]

thts expensive considering how small the bottles r

[applesandmustard]

@katiebrookeee for real. i probably wont be buying it again. it was worth a try though

[9AMLUV]

i will definetly get a good camera with the tax refund and finally post some vids...i just passed my 1yr lock anniversary last week...and i am sooo stoked about gettin to your level...we should go into the locking business together, i have a few tricks that ppl are always asking me about and you would have to be the mascot cuz ur locks are RIGHTEOUS

[applesandmustard]

@9AMLUV wooot! make videos! they're fun!

[ikkinnikk]

This makes me want to go and wash my hair.

Like a pretty mop (my sis says that).

Pretty eye color too.

[applesandmustard]

@ikkinnikk yay i'm a pretty mop :) my eyes? theyre boring brown :( i wish they were an awesome color like....*insert awesome eye color here* but thanks anyway!

[TeddyMonster555]

i'm now doin my locs myself..im wonderin what's the method to do it without clips??

[TheMzChoc]

@TeddyMonster555 You should look into inter-locking. Basically you need big bobble pin and stretch it out a little. Use the bended part to go through the root/base-not all the way but enough that it won't slide out and you have room to do the second part (make sure you twist the hair first!) and then take the tip of your hair and pass it into the bended end (not all the way!) At that point take the opened ended tips and pull the pin back out the way you put it in. Repeat if needed. Good Luck :)

[TeddyMonster555]

@TheMzChoc i've interlocked a few of them, i think it was 3-5, since i've started the process. reason why?

those little bastards wouldn't lock lol everytime i would wash my hair they would untangle tothe tip where it was some what lock'd. so i did that to those and now they follow suite like the rest of them.

but i wouldn't do it again. reason being i felt like it put alot of stress on them because i felt the tightness for about a week or so

[Akuma2unlimited]

@TeddyMonster555 Neglecting...but i wouldn't advise doing it.

[TeddyMonster555]

@Akuma2unlimited me neither that's why i don't lol

[applesandmustard]

@TeddyMonster555 i just do the same twisting minus the clips. twist a chunk and put them all in the same ponytail holder. the clips hold them for longer though in my opinion.

[TeddyMonster555]

@applesandmustard ooo (slaps forehead)

thanks i'm going to try that next time

[kenphoenix25]

i love your hair and u are so beautful

[kindsomali]

that's a lot of hair dari!!!

[flutturi]

u dont have to explain, we all know black ppl cant be washing dem hair no everyday nor every week.LOL. dam arent u gonna use the entire bottle ur hair is so long. lol i cant imagine when i get to that stage.

[vashtilosophy]

I hate shopping for shampoo because what it says on the bottle might not necessarily work on your hair. But i love the sound of water and the sound of someone washing their hair lol. Thats not weird is it?

[Duplan]

I love your dreads.
