Loose Hair Dread Maintenance with Crochet Hook

Tutorial and tips on grabbing those loose hairs and pulling them back into a dread loc. I use a .7mm, but if you cant find a crochet hook that small, try to find the smallest hook you can and that should work too.

My have have been loc'd for 4 months now, do your hair have to be totally loc'd to do this technique? Mine is not totally loc'd but I do have alot of loose hair.

This method will work for your hair as long as your locs are not twists. Meaning if your locs are formed from knots then the crochet hook will help grab those loose hairs and pull them back into the loc helping them to form more knots.

Every bodys hair is different and therefore their dreads will be different too. For thin straight hair I suggest only light maintenance as the dreads stabilize. Realize that with straight hair in a dread loc there will always be loose hairs and hair ends sticking out. When there is a large grouping then pull it back into the loc with the crochet hook.

never crochet dreads! you break hairs with everry poke your creating the loose hairs your fixing and weakening the dreads in the process making you a slave to the hook .. worse advice everr crochet is extremely destrucvtive and takes 6 months to recover from 1 use
