how to twist and rip

tutorial on how to do twist and rip method for creating dreadlocks

..sorry, right in the middle of my "blunted ends" rant my cameras battery died so i didnt get a chance to finish...basically if you have blunted ends it takes longer for your hair to dry and water can become trapped inside of the dreadlock, causing mold and a nasty musty smell. tapered ends allow the water to drip out of the dread causing it to dry faster =)

Hi, do you have to re-dread you hair when It grows longer? Or does it grow as dreads also?

Great video I twist and ripped my dreads and now I'm just neglecting them, letting look how every they want too

@Natalia Souza it takes a while for the dreads to get fat and look like normal dreads

How do u handle new growth? How do you redread your roots?

jus like evry utube video on twist and rip! U need to slow down. cant see how exactly you twist and rip this whole video is useless without that understanding

hahaha, dreading your hair doesnt change your dna, you have to re-dread the roots as they grow

I have been trying all day to get my hair to lock up doing the twist & rip method but for some reason it would not hold. But I watch your video & am doing exactly what you are doing & WALAA I got my 1st GOOD dread... thank you sooo much!!! By the way you are super cute :p

I would stop using conditioner if you haven't already, and you can also try palm rolling them constantly to keep them together! And they're not going to look like dreads for the first couple months. You just gotta stick with it.

Hopefully that helps- I'm no expert!

How could it possibly grow out as a dread? The roots will be normal loose hair.
