I discovered the magic of crocheting dreads for maintenance! I did a lot of watching videos of other people doing it and this is the technique I really picked up on and wanted to learn about, but it was hard to find a video with ALL the info in it that I wanted, so I decided to make one. This is the video I wish had been around when I was looking so I hope it helps all of you!!!

  • So all you do is just stab the hook in and out? Are you grabbing hair and pulling out? What exactly are you doing?

    I've had dreads for only one day now... Do you think I should wait?

  • @BeckyAngelix This is an old video. I've created a newer, more comprehensive video about crochet on my new channel; TheDreadQueen. You can start crocheting right away, but you should NEVER crochet more often than every 4-6 weeks. Less is always better, though, as excessive crocheting can break hair. For more information you can check out my other YouTube channel and my website which is linked from all my newer videos in the descriptions. :-)

  • At the time of this video I had 51, but I've since combined many of them and I'm down to 36. :-) (I started with about 1 inch sections)

  • The format the video was take in (.avi) wouldn't upload so I had to use a converter which, since it was a free, unpaid version, flashes its name across the screen every few seconds, LOL. Annoying, I know, but it was the only way I could upload!
