Sectioning is an important part of the process, because bad sectioning can lead to hair pulling from the wrong spots! This can lead to pain, irritation, itchiness, and "congos" which are dreads that grow together.
These sections in this video would make for thick dreadlocks! Your dreads will mature to the size of your sections. * I WOULD MAKE SMALLER SECTIONS THAN THIS ON A TYPICAL HEAD *
Tips on sectioning:
1. Make squares or rectangles 1"x1.5" big. (Smaller if you have thicker hair or want thinner locks, bigger for thicker locks!)
ALSO, look into triangle sectioning, or honeycomb/pineapple sectioning! I love these methods, too!
2. Stagger them like bricks to hide the section lines.
3. Make sure your rows are symmetrical and even on both sides.
4. Plan around your natural part
5. Use non-stick rubber bands
Note: If you make them as big as these, you will have thick dreads! My sections are about half the size of these. I have 62 :)

I just wanted to let you know that I am a licensed cosmetologist, and you literally just taught me everything I know about dreads!! 😂😁😁 I'm actually about to do my first set! Wish me luck 😘
This is the least informative video on this subject.... definitely do more research. Personally I think these sections look awful and unnatural in the long run.
How did they go?
Damn I'm so sorry
@@cheebak1615 agree completely on the sectioning. Her hair is going to be huge in the long also for how big she did it
@@juanalee92 I mean for 1 she literally said that those sections are bigger than what she would do on herself so they are going to be bigger (because thats what the client wanted) and for 2 this comment implies that "Big" automatically equals "Bad" even tho there are people like Kodak Black and Denzel Curry looking like badass dragonball characters with a total of 8 - 10 dreads each😂😂
I commented on one of your videos about a month and a half ago as I was trying to decide if locs were the direction I wanted to go. I commented on several other sites, but to date you were the only one who responded and you were very encouraging. It's been difficult as I live in and area that there are no licensed locticians. However, a local beauty school has one student learning the art of dreads and I finally have an appointment next week. Your encouragement and my determination have kept me moving forward. Just wanted to say thank you. I know this video was posted some years back, so I hope you'll get to see this little thank you!
You could request for her to use a micro latch hook and the crochet method. That will likely ensure your satisfaction!
@@WiredAndStoned I'm amazed you're responding to a six year old video just now being commented on. Thank you! And I'm going to talk to her instructor before going to make sure they will either twist and rip or back comb and then crochet so I'll have what I'm looking for. I've been making my own extensions and if I could hold my arms over my head, I'd just do my own as my extensions are turning out pretty decent for a beginner. I just need help getting this done and in NW Montana there hasn't been much demand for them. 🤭
Going to get my first dreads today and I am sooo thankful for your tips about sectioning!! This will help me a lot
I think this is one of the best videos I've seen about sectioning. Thanks so much for posting this! Watching this gave me information I needed to express what I wanted when getting my own dreads. Thank you! :)
Your videos are SO WONDERFUL and informative! I cannot wait for you to share a detailed video about crochet hooking dreads because I cannot seem to grasp the concept for the life of me!!
Thank you for showing this! I've wanted dreads for like two years so now I'm just gonna do it no questions asked. I'm excited! This video helped a lot.
MoriahBug thank you 🙏🏽 blessing on your journey!
@@WiredAndStoned how much do you charge
Thank you so much, you cleared up so much! I have long fine healthy hair but didn’t want them too thick or heavy when the dreads grow out so I think I will do 3-4 on the back row. Just what I needed to hear!
Thank you so much! I was struggling to find good information on how to go about the dreading of the top hair and part ! I'm doing this from home on my own and I can't thank you enough for your tutorials
your videos have helped me so much with my dreads! I love it! & I thank you for sharing your information❤❤
I wish you could do my dreads😂
Thank you so much for this video! I'm so excited for dreads!
Great video! Clear and precise. I'm about to dive in having never done this in my life. I so appreciate your videos hon.
Going to behind my spiritual Dread Journey May. I'm so excited!!
OMG you helped me with so much in understanding how to section and the reasoning why❤ Thanks for this amazing how to 🤙🏽❤️
Thank you!! I love your videos!! Always very informative!!!
Thank you so much. I'm a hairdresser and you have taught me so much. I myself are about to join the dread journey.. the bottom of my hair is shaved and the top is longer.. I'm going to start dreads on my hair then add extensions also. I will be using your content to do mine. So again thank you
Just starting my dread journey! I’m starting off with double ended dreads, and getting a feel for how to put them in and sectioning my hair! I’m still learning about them, and testing them out! I take them out once a week so I can wash my hair! I’m also decorating them! So far I’ve gotten great responses from friends, customers, and family! Everyone is telling me I should just dread it all! I’m wanting my grow out my hair healthy and long before I take the real dread journey! I’ve damaged it a lot from bleaching and dying my hair for 2 years straight! I want to grow my hair out down to my waist so that I can cut all the split ends of when it’s at a comfortable length, before I dread my hair for real! But until then, I’m loving my double ended dreads!
That's so helpful, thanks babe. I'm starting my dreadlock journey tomorrow when they arrive. Purple and blue. Oh I'm going to rock the school run on Monday haha, I already stand out as an "alternative" Mummy. Let's see their reactions to the only one in the village with dreadlocks haha 😂
Absolutely love your dreads.. perfect size..the length is gorgeous and I really like the way the ends look grown out. You are so beautiful. ✌
I love this channel helps me on my business for dreading
Thanks for all the tips. I'm brand spankin new to dreading and my partner wants them in his hair lol ive done 3 so far and so proud :D
This just helped me so much!! Thankyou! New subbie here💜
I started mine about a week ago, I did them myself, but had my husband section them. I'm in love with them and can't wait to see how they're going to change and grow. I love your videos, I always want to learn more and more about them.
How did they turn out
Wish my hubby would help section mine
I wish you could do mine but you did it so perfectly. The sectioning was perfect too
Your energy is very beautiful!
Just the video I needed 💚
I am loving you videos. Been going through them cause I am planning on doing dreads for my hair. I am a little worried cause I have thinner hair and starting to get a widows peak so idk how that’s going to play out lol
Thank u this vid! It's super helpful. My dreads are only a few weeks in & still have a couple more 2 do(haven't decided how I want 2 frame my face or the top of my hair yet. This video helps me a lot! I'm tender headed, so I decided 2 part my dreads with straight horizontal lines first & then section them individually by how they felt natural & comfortable according 2 my scalp & nerves. (I have some nerve damage(metal plate 2 repair my sinus cavity-between my eyebrows & forehead due 2 vehicle accident) from a surgery bk in '03) so far the only difference in my dreads by parting them a little different is that I have multiple sizes of dreads. Which I'm starting 2 luv... Plz do a vid on how u dyed ur dreads pink.💓🤗💕🌈
her voice is sooo relaxing
I just took my dread down, it took me about 3 days, (I have 2 kids that were with me non stop sooo...) cause I'm kind of perfectionist, like you, and knowing that my dreads are where ever, what ever size made me crazy. I'll try making my own dreads using your advice (these dreads that I had was made by a 'professional'... It didn't feel like it). Thank you for your videos, they help a lot
this was a very helpful video. been scared to start them myself, just doing a few here and there left me scared about the part, hairline, those ones by the ears. buying rubber bands and starting tomorrow 😆👌
Good luck =) I did them using this method and it's wayyyyy better than just 'here and there'.
I want ones just like yours > I have synthetic dreads right now but was always scared to do real dreads ! i need to learn .
Great informative video!
This is a very informative video. I'd like to have a professional do them so that way I know it's right but after seeing this I might give it a go with a little help from a fren😊 thanksalot
now i need the video of the full install
U should definitely do a tutorial on how too section,the back of your head yourself.....because I have my whole head dreaded and have this like 6x7 inch are right in the middle of the back of my head I can't do...anyway this can be done without the help of another person
THANK YOU so much !
depends on the clients shape for me, weather i go brick pattern random, rectangle. a lot of loctitions dont even think about this type of thing, the dreads can end up complimenting the persons facial structure or do the complete opposite.
I’ve been binge watching your videos because I’m about to make some dread extensions and add them to my undercut that I’ve been growing out 😄
If all goes well I owe you a massive thanks!
Love your vids ❤️
Thank you! ❤
Your energy is amazing!.. hoping to start my dreads journey soon with help of my fiance and sister, looking for similar size to yours would 1inch x 1inch be good?
Hiya! I've been watching your videos 🙌 I heard you say something about Reno, is that where your located? I've been wanting dreads but don't trust just anyone to do them!
I love your video but I was wondering if you would maybe do a video of how to section hair with smaller sectioning like you explained in your video to make a total of 50 or 60 dreads like you have the sectioning is where I’m having the most difficulty
Starting my journey in next few moths will be doing instragram updates lots of love and light from the UK
Best video i seen so far :). My question is do he habe to.go throught the dreadlock.journey when its homemade or will it.be the same if i like go to a.hair.salon/barber shop? And if it is the same will the journey be longer rather than the hair salon?
I just found this video I've been researching dreads for forever bc I am joining the journey this summer! I'm doing my own with help from my mom and husband lol I have split hair color any tips? I have half purple half dark blue hair!
Thanks so much for the tips! My only question is, where are you located because I’m ready to start my dread journey lol
I want your pink dreads!!!!!
How would I dread very short hair. Also loved your vid. I especially liked how you hooked around the dread. I have had dreads twice and am still learning. Currently I do not have dreads as my legnth is short. How long does hair need to be for dreads.
I am going to try n dread my hair tonight
Thank you for making this video! I really appreciate it! I will tag you guys in some photos tonight when I start my dread journey, since I will be using your videos for help and inspiration
Hi! I'm installing wool dreadlocks, I have 60 single ended and I was wondering if this would work for them too?
We want to see you do this on someone with dreadlocks as stated in your description
Would this technique work with dreadlock extensions? Like with tying off each section individually?
Thank you my boyfriend wanted me to help him with his and I did not know how to help but now I do
I would suggest making smaller sections than this, FYI!
Very helpful ; I've had dreads before but someone did them for me. I've been wanting them again but the sectioning has been kicking my butt.
I bet they looked bad
@@itsdemonetize5528 HA! You can see for yourself since I changed my profile picture.
Does this work with sectioning for synthetic dreads?
Will the hair extension naturally mature with the dread, and will it adjusts with the size differences throughout the maturing process?
When you dread them do you leave the rubber band in or out?
Do you happen to sell extensions as well. A girlfriend of mine that was gunna start mine said to get some textured extensions. My hair is not textured so im curious if it would look more uneven if I just used texture synethic extensions.
I am obsessed with you lol but can you do aVideo on how to section them when you’re doing your own locks and no one is helping you that’s what I’m having an issue with is figuring out how to section my hair on my own without any guidance from a second person
Do you take the rubber bands out as you go or leave them in for a certain amount of time?
What do you do when you come to baby hairs, i have some pretty long ones so should i put them in the dreads or leave them like that?
How do you section your dreads after you have them.. Like I have been working so much I haven't had time to do my hair in abwhile and at my roots they are all starting to grow into each other.. How do you get them sectioned back where you can see the parts and how do get all the loose hair around the dreads into them?
Keely Lyons You should separate them regularly especially after washing and drying them. A rat tail comb works great for getting those fine lines in. And I just learned this, but palm rolling them after a wash can also help guide the frizzy parts to the right dread. You can also use a *tiny* like .75 crochet hook or latch hook to carefully, very gently, pull some in. Just don't overdo it
did you take out rubber bands before or after the twist and rip?
if after, how long after?
It's been about 2 weeks with mine, I twist and ripped but pretty much all of them came undone, I still have the rubber bands on
but some fall or break and I replace them
i'm reluctant to start over because my hair is still sectioned underneath my rubber bands and some of my hair has started forming little loops even though my twists came undone
any advice?
Do you show a do it yourself video on parting?
How much for you to do my dreads? I live in st.louis MO area. I have hair an inch past my elbows. Or do you not travel and do dreads anymore
Can u put some videos about how to make dreads after this process?
I started my dreads about a month ago I sectioned myself with a mirror and I’m super over thinking my placement and wanting to brush them out and redo them.
I just want to do just a few dreads in my hair, I work in a hospital and can't really have crazy hair. I just want to have something that represent my true self for me. Do I do this exact steps for the few I want?
I’m doing it myself I did a few so far on my back. But do u have to section them like that cause it’s very hard tk section by urself
do you have any tips on how to section your hair when you only have hair on the top of your head? (my hair is shaved all the way around both sides and the back) right now I have my synths in like perfect rows but I feel like it's weird
Libs i would like to know for just top of the head too..
I was just about to comment this
Zach Taylor i messaged them on facebook and they said do staggered 1" section and that what i did, good luck(:
+Deejay Dynamic oh thanks for the info, and so quick too! Good luck on your journey as well!
Zach Taylor lol i get notifications. But no problem, and thanks!
Hi! Is it possible to change the part on my braidlocs? Like start with a middle part and change it to a side part? Thank you.
Do you have any tips on sectioning just the top of the head? The sides and back of my head are shaved
Do you have any tips on how to dread 3/4 of your hair because I have the side shaved?
Do you save the inital hairtie for synthetic dreads or remove it?
This is my first time doing dreadlocks and I just ordered 25 dreads on Amazon and they are single ends can I just do the rubber bands like you did in sections and braid the dreads into my hair with the rubber bands in my natural hair or is there a specific why to do them?
L♡VE Y♡UR VIDE0Š!! Your dreads are beautiful!!!☆☆🖤❤💛💚💙🖤
You can make a video by showing how to section the dreads with bangs or loose hair?
but if u want thicker dreads and build up the twist and rip more ...how do u maintin the thickness of ur dreadlock when it grows out and u interlock it ? wont it get thinner ?
Can i start natural dreads with branded in synthetic ones?? Going to do this need help or if its even possible
I wish you could do my dreads!
I have a question do you need extensions to have dread because I want to get dreads
Do anyone has any advice on how to section your hair by yourself? I really would like to have dreads, but noone can help me, so I should do all by myself, but I don't know how
i did my dreads myself by feel. I don't think they're coming out okay. I have shorter hair, and id like to put in extensions. I'm new at this. help!
So how do you section engen someone have sidecuts and a undercut?
how do you keep your dreads from becoming too thick over time?
I heard crochet can cause damage? Is that true? Which method is best to start dreadlocks on fine hair?
How much do you charge to dread extensions and send them to a customer?
My hair is 17 inches long... will getting dreads shrink quite a bit of not too much?
could I do 1 inch by 1 inch or is that to small? I just dont want to do them so small that they break easy. or should I do 1 inch by 2 inch? please help me out before I start doing them.
I'm about to do dreads on myself since I dont have anyone to help me and I think I'm the most nervous about getting the sections right haha
Hope all going well. I'm researching and cincidering doing dreads.. well I think about it a lot. I have thick long ish hair so it will look ok but will take a lot of time and effort. I really want to only my 15 year old daughter said she won't talk to me if I do! Hehehe sounds like a challenge! 👌
So what's the point of sectioning your hair meticolously if when you rip and tear, you can fix the thickness and length? I thought thickness is determined only when you section your hair.
How do I section if I only have the top with hair. Like I have both my sides and the back of my head shaved
will this section method work for guys too?
Will the really big, fat, flat and lumpy parts on the bottom of my dreads,from where I back comes them to start, like grow completely out as the get longer or will it have to be cut off... Also can I trim my dreads???
Keely Lyons If they're still loose enough to be "moving" and dreading, just look all fluffy, they should taper out. You can guide them by palm or pinch rolling. If they're already locked into hard club-ends, you can always pick and brush out the ends to form them how you want. And yeah, you can trim them if they get too long or whatever. The ends will probably unravel just a little, it's normal.
i have very long hair and im getting dreads but im afraid to do them because your videos are only based on people with short hair, have you ever been able to do dreads on very long hair like down to the butt or waist ??
i think its all the same just takes more time lol
Were you talking about 65 de or se?
🖤
How much do you charge for dreadlocks and where are you located??
I have 30 dreads and I have a problem with the coverage in the back of my head
