Dreadlock Mohawk: The Dreadhawk (also works with regular hair)

How to do "The Dreadhawk."

Attention: Turn up the volume and beware of constant stuttering and "um"s and "uh"s. (If you can't tell, i'm losing my youtube virginity in this video.)

This is a response to one of Chescaleigh's tutorials, because she awesome :)

Mohawk, Fauxhawk, whatever you wanna call it . . . It's a pretty simple hairstyle. it hardly even needs a tutorial, but i thought i'd just do it for fun.

hey man iv had a mohawk itself for about 4 years now .. i decided i want to dreadlock it and i was wondering how should i dreadlock the top , like should i have the dreads go ina straight line til it reaches in the back ...or have it randomly also how many locks should i have and how do i space them out evenly so some arent thicker than others?

@Metalhead2474 If you want the sides of the mohawk to be even, you probably want the dreads to go in straight lines, but it could work in random order, who knows... The number of dreads you have depends on their size - the bigger the locks are, the less there will be - the smaller they are, the more there will be. the best way to keep all of them at the same thickness is to have someone else separate your hair into even sections, and then lock up each section. Hope that helps, good luck.

@guitarman856 it will be five years at the end of March. But in this video, my locks were a little over two and a half years old.

helpp!!1 im startin my dreads(im white), and havin trouble maintaining the twists. any tips????

[vnllawytchkltblndie]

@steelerban

First tip is to wear a cap/bandana as much as possible. it holds the hair down and keeps outside dust from getting in. even if you only wear it to bed, it should help a little.

Second tip is if you use wax, be very careful not to use too much, cuz there are bad consequences in the long term.

Third tip is palmroll, palmroll, and palmroll. but try not to tug/pull the hair when you palmroll. tugging and pulling can thin out the new growth at the scalp.

Hope it helps :)

i want a dreadhawk. im white straight hair. the longest ive had my hair is down to my chin. at the moment i have a psychobilly wedge. which is a form of mohawk but doesnt go all the way down to the back of my neck. my hair at the moment. comes down to the middle of my eye. next week im hoping to bleach it blonde. and continue bleaching until its light enough to have bright colors in it. hopefully i can start the dreads soon. ive tried a few myself with backcomb. but still a little too short :p

awsome

[vnllawytchkltblndie]

@FallenxInxLovexBOTDF Yeah, that's definitely long enough. Maybe you could separate the layers (if possible) and then start the dreads in each layer, so then you would have layered dreads? just an idea but good luck ;)
