Hi, I'm working on hooking my lock tonight. My biggest feat is getting prodded by the point of the hook. Last time it got caught in my finger and my sister had to snatch it out... Any suggestions to help. I had a thimble on my thumb b/c it got prodded the most but left my other finger without one, lol.
I need help, my dreads are very skinny in the front and kind of skinny thru out my head. Is there a way to make them thicker? The base of my dreads are very thin and I'm afraid there will fall off. Please help me. Email: alterick@gmail.com
how can you tell if your hair is right for dreads? Ive been wasting some sooo bad but idk if my hair is right for dreads, And i cant find anywhere that gives you kind of an idea of how to figure that out.
As an african american i am VERY pleased with your style of loc'ing hair for different textures. I've seen soon crazy stuff for individuals with straight hair thats making locs. i'm gonna forward your videos to my friends with straight hair. they'll be very pleased!
Omfg I just got to Seattle from NYC see this video n I'm like WTF . I need my hair done as we speak . Please if u can just write to me n tell me where I can get this done I would be most greatful. ;)
I live in Seattle Washington USA and am wondering how do I find or do you know of anyone in Seattle/Tacoma who does the Bankok Method of locing hair? I can't Find anyone Anywhere in this state!!!
Looks like what they are doing with her hair is "needle felting" where you bond the fibers by using the needle. it is very interesting, but i don't think that it is something i would ever want done on me.
the more kinky the hair the easier it is to form and maintain the dread loc. Your nappy hair sounds like it would form locs really well. I have a great many dread info and tutorial videos if you want more info.
@skillteacher, I saw the ladies making dreadlocks. I would like to know if there is a website i can order already made dreadlocks so that i can make my locks longer?
Actually this method works better on naturally kinky hair. Locs are the formation of knots and the crochet hook manages the loc's shape. It's just that hair that is naturally kinky can form dread knots easier. People with strait hair need help to control the knots more.
@skillteacher i dunno i had my locs done with a hook before...and the lock was just looped within itself it wasnt stabbed and jerked like that it looks too rough for kinky hair...that stabbin and stuff cannot be good for kinky hair.i can imagine the breakage....but anyway good video
@supremo00 - Not true. I know several RN's who work in the U.S. (east coast) who have locs and they have never been instructed to cut them or even so much as cover them up. I'm not sure where you live, but you need to find out the actual policy on hair/locs cause it sounds like you might have a case of discrimination.
I find it amazing how locs at one point where looked at as something "dirty black people" have, now all types of people are embracing the style and culture. It's very interesting how she was locking her hair, but i'm not too sure if it would work on black people hair.. OBTW..You shouldn't call them "Dread locs".. there is nothing dreadful about them. they are simply locs :)
@Ahdayah7 this is for people with straight hair. Our hair can loc naturally on its own, we dont do this method. and with the whole Dread/Locs thing...it really depends on the person. I call em locs but i dont have a hissy fit if someone calls them dreads.
It is hard to find anybody that does this style. Your best bet is to learn this method with a friend so you guys can do it yourselves. I posted a Great learning to dread advice vid to help people get started. Good Luck.
Ooops, forget it I see your other videos over here to the right. New to youtube and computers so forgive me. I'll post a question after watching these. Thanks again.
5 Stars! But I still don't get what they're doing. Are they actually crocheting the synthetic hair into her hair or are they just pushing it in, in which case how does it stay. Also are they using synthetic hair on your wife's head or is it real hair? Also, is there a grade of hair they use? Regardless I enjoyed watching this. Thanks.
They can use real or synthetic hair to add and make the dreads thicker. Real hair is the best because fake hair feels unnatural and weighs more. It's worth the extra money to add the real hair. But if the dreads locs are done well they do not need to add any hair.
This technique has helped me out sooooooooooo much! My dreads used to look like crap and where taking a very long time to lock with my "twist and rip" method! I have a question tough, Some of my dreads it look like some of the hair has moved up, and it makes it look weird, and uncomfortable
Adding extensions would be the same as reattaching a dread that was cut. Fray the ends at least 2 inches or more on each side. Mesh the frayed ends together and knot the sections together. I would personally recommend going in the dread at a diagonal angle to link the knots together, similar to my thickening dreads video.
Ill post an attaching extensions vid as soon as I can but it may be a while. Hope my suggestions help in the mean time.
this is true.. but i looked and i can not find any place around were i live who does dreads or at least knows wat there doin. i dont want someone working on my dreads who have no idea wat there doing
6 hours of 1 to 4 people working on maintaining the locs only costed 40 dollars! Many forigners come here to kao san road and get dreads this style for super cheap.
Yes, many thanks, I saw their site. I glad my vids helped. This style of locking makes sense the more you practice. This Bangkok style is fast which makes it harder to learn.
Im so pissed off right now, for one your wife is more beautiful than any woman i ever laid eyes on in a long time lol and for 2 I doubt I will ever find anyone to do my hair here with that method and i need it dont like that bad. My roots are way smaller than the dread its self.
Yes, and it even works better on naturally kinky hair. This crochet hook method just helps to form the knots faster that make dreads. This method also helps to sculpt the locs so that they can be thicker or have less loose hairs poking out. You can check out my other videos for additional insights about the technique or send me a personal message to help. I've worked with all types of people and have encountered many problems that I was able to help them through.
is there a beauty school at that salon because i really want to learn how to do that
