![6 different ways to START dreadlocks [with demonstrations🙌🏼]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zvPkC5n8KEI/mqdefault.jpg)
Here I am rewatching this video 3 yrs later... Shaved my dreads, grew hair for a year, now I'm going back in for round 2 of dreadlocks. ❤️ Needed a refresher course lol.
winny and adam awesome!! Excited for you! I’m almost ready to do mine again!
@@WiredAndStoned yay!!! It's been a learning experience being bald, learning self love, facing my own judgements etc. I know u have been thru the same. It was a spiritual lesson! Sending u lots of love.
Haha like wise !
Well it’s me again. On my 3rd set of dreads. I’ve had them a year now. 😍😂
@@winnie2222 that's amazing. 2.5 years ago I brushed out my 8 year old dreadlocks, wanting to embrace my naturally curly hair. I have embraced, and now ready for my second set ❤
AMAZING, oh my gosh you don't know how many dreads videos I've watched and how many times I've tried to crochet in extensions and I never realized that I need the kind of crochet hook with the little latch part on it. THANK YOU lol this was perfect.
Brianna Eason you actually don’t need a latch hook a regular small crochet hook will work if you know what you’re doing
You don't need it. also I'm not a fan of how the dread looks like. I love them being tight and clean from the beginning.
No you do not need that crochet hook. I do not use that one and my hair is amazinf
Y'all are some of the happiest ppl ever. 😃👊🏻 good energy. High vibes. ⭐️✨💫💚 much gratitude for these vids. I'm starting my dread journey today. ❤️
Luna Chick how's it going? It's been 6 months for me :)
@@anorganizedmess8051 hi it's 'luna chick' (diff name now) so I wore those dreads for about... A year and a half ish. I shaved my head.. grew hair for a year now and I'm restarting dreads again today!! ❤️ Do u still have yours!? I shaved my 1st set off bcus the extension hair was too itchy. It wasn't 100% human. This time I got really good hair for extensions. I send u love & hope u are well. ❤️👊
@@winnie2222 I do still have them, it'll be 3 years next month actually. I added some lock extensions that I crocheted about a year ago and took them off because I didn't like them, they weren't 100% human hair either and I didn't want to make that investment since I didn't like how the fake ones looked any way, I love my natural dreads. anyway good luck to you on your journey!
This is the most descriptive video for dread extensions I've found so far. Thanks for making it, really informative!!!
😊
SiSTAR You Rock !!! Many Thanks
to you & the camera man!!!!!
✨♥️✨🇺🇸✨♥️✨
You remind me of piper from orange is the new black lol
NEENEE V I clicked down here to comment that exact thing!! She is so beautiful and I love this woman's personality! Great tutorial ❤
Dude I was just saying who does she look like and my boyfriend said piper!!
true, for a sec i thought she is piper
Right!!!
NEENEE VITOLLO right?! And a little bit mixed with the yoga lady lol
I am so happy I found this channel.
^_^
I like how you demonstrate and explain your technique. I have afro hair, but I still enjoyed watching this. You guys are fun 😁
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I DREAD, ALL NATURAL, LOOOVE ITTTT!!!!! Sorry for the caps I was super excited 🤗
U look like piper chapmen with dreads
Ally Mix 😂😂😂😂 I thought the same thing!
I know youre still going to crochet the dread, but you actuallz get a much knottier, tighter dread in the beginning if you twist and then pull from about the middle of the srand, at her hair length than if you pull at the end. Pulling at the end makes it very fluffy and lose a lot of legth, if you pull higher up you dont lose as much. the extension you put in looked much better than the top.
Best tutorial for dread extensions!! Thank you sooooo much :)
Thanks! Gonna work on more soon, too!
Great tutorial! I'm trying to learn as much as I can... my 6 yo is wanting dreads soon!
what a cool mom!!! 🎉
I love how u went so far into detail. My wife had a dude we thought knew what he was doing, but now her locs are breaking.
Thank you so much for this video, I know it's been a while but it still was so valuable to me and my daughters. You have a beautiful presence. God bless
This was so fascinating to watch.
Well that's good! Thank you! 😊
I am impressed. I like your work. The way you pair them up is similar to what I do. I would love to share some info with you on how I pair up locks. I actually use a crochet hook and not a latch hook. I've used latch hooks in the past but they don't create that nice, nearly fuzz free lock and doesn't work for all hair types. Your use of and ability with the latch hook is advanced for sure. My method was about the same when I switched to crochet. I've experimented with so many brands of crochet hooks and found that Boye seems to be the most efficient in pulling in loose hair and matching up locks. Size ,12, 13 & 14. Instead of Laing them side by side, I actually comb about can inch or 3 of hair from the end of their natural hair and the connecting end of the extension. I split them both in three sections where they meet up and cross them or I guess you can say scissor them. Extensions hair laying on their own lock and their hair laying on the extension lock only in three sections and not just laying side by side. It helps to leave no bumbs where they are joined and also makes it to where you can add extentions to even extremely mature or hard locks. Crochet is a whole different skill but one that you would be able to transition to pretty easily. I tought myself with dolls before I worked on my own then my clients. I have a method for sure and I feel like everyone who does crochet is a little different. I did root flipping and latch hook for too long and I hate that section of dread on my dread journey. They get build up like crazy still. ACV soak is necessary more than twice a year for me only because of the interlocked and latch hooked section. I've maintained my roots with crochet for a year. Took off my starter locks/tips and replaced them with extensions because of the damage and build up ACV soak wouldn't take out so they were getting brittle. Anywhoo.. maybe TMI. Just sharing experience with another Loctician. I hope this helped a little.
I did my own dreads and the front ones turned out ok but the back ones didnt. I love watching your videos on how to tighten and stuff like that because it will help me tremendously! Love your videos! subscribed!
My god I really wish I would live closer to you. I have been wanting dreads forever.
I could watch and listen to you all day...and will.😘😘😘
so pumped to start mine
Yay! I'd love to see a progress video of how these change over time, even if it's in a month or two, because dreads change sooooooo much in the early stages! Thanks for sharing this :-)
+Kristin Bass-Petersen You can see an updated photo of her dreads on my personal instagram: instagram.com/thegoldendglow! :)
+Wired And Stoned Ah! Very nice, thank you for that! They are holding up beautifully
Follow our insty, too! instagram.com/WiredAndStoned 😊
+Wired And Stoned Totally do already! You guys are super talented, love all your work! That's how I ended up here :-)
Oh cool! Thanks for your support! 💗
Your so experienced and know what you’re doing gee I wish you were near me and could do mines 😧
You have fascinating videos and very simple ways of explaining how to do dreadlocks! Could you do another video talking about them and telling how to section and how many of them should we get and what thickness? I've tried like a hundred thousand times to section and still doesn't convince me...
Thank you for these amazing videos!! A big kiss from Spain!!
I'll work on that!! :)
Beautiful!! Love them but it’s overwhelming for a newbie! Lol
I LOVE this video. Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to find a good video thats clearly shows this process but they have all sucked. I will be sending anyone I know that’s looking for info about dreads to you. Right now I’m just super excited to try your technique. Keep making awesome videos. ✌🏽❤️
I am brand new to dreads and doing my research now. I love how you break it down in creating your own dreads and how to install the extensions.
For a first time would you recommend doing smaller/thinner dreads? And would you do extensions on only a portion of the natural dreads?
She shaved hers off because off lice
Ugh... I wish you guys lived close to Oklahoma!! I would love for you to do my dreads
we can come to you! email us getwiredandstoned@gmail.com
Say what?!
do you ever travel to California? i live in next to los angeles. i actuallt live in seal beach. tiny beach city next to long beach.
Wired And Stoned Hi hope ur all good,love ur videos! My question is,by about how much in percentage will new dreads shrink?
You and your methods are so naturally beautiful Thank you for being you
Best video yet! Thank you so much
Thank you for being an amzing you! I'm 43, work in a corporate environment for a major financial institution, started this journey 3 weeks ago, and you have helped not only teach/guide me in what to do but also what to expect. My hair is starting to really take and lock. How long would you suggest letting the dread mature before adding extensions? I already starting making them with real hair and using the same technique as I used for my natural hair. My hair was long and is already shrinking, so I feel a bit weird....but thankfully the frizzy pieces are starting to lock, so I don't look like a super crazy person, as much! Thanks for any advice!
B Crouch I would add extensions ASAP! I like to put them I right away, while im doing the dreadlocks!😉 Have you ordered our products yet? You'll need oil and shampoo and spray! 💖
Very interesting. A lot similar to doing black hair textures for the crocheting part
super helpful video, thank you! sending good vibes your way ☺
Thanks for tips on pulling the Ext separate from the original hair when attaching. I was missing that component. Now it makes sense. Peace ✌🏽
Great video! 👏🏻👏🏻
Im full Native American from the navajo tribe and i dont know how my ancestors had dreadlocks, ive been trying but only failing horribly.
i wish i had someone like you close by to help me lol good work.
The boyfriend has Native type hair, it's really slippery!! just gotta spend a lot of time up keeping them at first with the hook!
Residue free shampoo will help, and dread head HQ has a product called lock peppa that helps immensely
Omg I would pay so much to have you do my hair amazing work!!
IM EXCITED !!!!!!!!!!!!
Super helpful video, love your channel I been studying up on how to do my own dreads my husband and I have decide we want to take the journey. can't wait to start. I don't have anyone who can help me tho so i guess I'll need to go to a salon and then i can do my own exstentions. I can do my husband's but he can't do mine not gonna happen ha ha. Anyways thanks for the info so helpful.
So I discussed dreads with my husband and he is all for it! He is actually doing the TnR for me lol. I wish I had seen your sectioning video before he sectioned mine. I haven't done the top or the very back bottome yet. Which I am glad for now because I can fix the sections before we dread them. up!! I'd like to do extensions to add length but I'm struggling with which ones should be extended!!! How do u tell?!?!!?
I Lovr this video I wish I would have seen this 3years ago.. I back combed my dreads when I started them and it sucked and looked horrible for a long time lol. I wish I would have done the twist and rip method with them all its Solo much better!!!
OMG! thank you so much for this video, I'm doing my sister's dreads this weekend and she wants extensions at the same time. I'm so happy I finally found this video. Approximately how many do you need to do a whole head?
How did it go?
They turned out amazing!! Unfortunately, she decided she didn't want them shortly after and cut them off. I hope I got pictures....
i feel like i wont trust anyone to do my dreadlocks and extentions anymore haha. i so wish you could do mine. they look amazing!!
I could! Where do you live?
+Wired And Stoned anchorage alaska haha! so far!
I got my dreads by doing nothing but constantly rolling my hair for months.. it was painstaking but they came out amazing and smooth as silk...
I’d rather the double ended crochet hook and sister if the hair together and crocheting it in back and forth that way. But this is an awesome look aswell
Been wanting to have locs, BUT...... can not find anyone to do them on baby fine straight hair. I've been watching your videos and subscribed. I've asked a few of my friends and told them we can follow your video and no one will do it for me. I do enjoy watching your video. Also ordered a few things from your shop.
OOOPs tried to order aint happening will try again later
Great video, thank you very much ❤️🙏🏻
Wow all I have to do is not COMB MY HAIR 🤣🤣 this too much BUT HEY PIPER ‼️‼️‼️RUclips AND THEIR SUGGESTED VIDEOS 🤣🤣
yay thanks for your fun advice 1 down 30 odd to go I'm using my hair I chopped of 3 years ago
I have found MY PEOPLE...thank you, thank you
Great job. very informative.
Hi thanks so much for making these videos, I have just installed extensions into my new natural dreads, advice please my natural dreads are very soft but my extensions are very hard and stiff, please help xxx
Your vids are so relaxing.😉
I wish I had as many dreads as you do! My hair wasn't all that thick so I don't that many!
She grossed me out by using her toes to make a loc and then incorporated it into her client's hair; but I can't deny outside of that I have learned a lot from her. I'm starting to get more caucasian clients wanting their hair loced; and she has been a interesting yet informative teacher!
like how can i braid the synth hair into my hair???
Awesome. Great information.
You do great work 😀
I wish you lived in NYC, trying to start some dreads
Selene Bosetti coming there soon! email getwiredandstoned@gmail.com
What if the strand is already dreaded completely? Do you have to brush some out to add extension?
Brush it out till the loose hair is long enough
Not necessarily, if the end isn’t blunt you wouldn’t have to
I just found your guys’ page today and I’ve been watching your videos nonstop. I can’t wait to start my dread journey. I started a little baby dread behind my ear just to see if I could do it. I like the turn and rip process.
Does it matter what type Extensions you get? I can get clip ins pretty cheap at Sally’s but I wasn’t sure. (I’m on a budget) lol
Come to Moab and do my dreads!!! 😍
PrettyPunkRock Would seriously love to! email getwiredandstoned@gmail.com
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!! :)
Can you please come to my home and do this for me?!! I love your work
dammmm I wish you could do mine... iva always wanted these but i can't fine anyone that does it... And has everything they need to do it... lol.
thanks for the video. :) I loved it
The only place locally I could afford to get them done did not feely hair would hold dreads due to being very fine plus because of the maintenance they felt it would be to much for me to do. I don't agree. But I'm kind of at a stand still as I can't do this myself. I have a heart condition that if I hold my arms up for long periods I can have issues. Well poop! I'm still going to watch and learn and maybe someday it can happen.
This looks pretty cool..I'm considering starting this journey so what I wanna know is what type of hair texture extension do u use?
Im so jealous i wish i had a friend like you so we could do eachothers hair lol i have ehlers danlos syndrome so i dislocate all of my joints really easily so i cant keep my arms up for long without my shoulders blowing out lmao
Same! I’ve been working on adding extensions to my 4 year old dreads but it’s taking me months because I keep having to take weeks off to let my shoulders recover from constantly reaching up to my head 😖 Part of the reason (not the full reason but it definitely factored into my decision) I got dreads in the first place was so I wouldn’t have to hurt my shoulders every morning while brushing my hair 😂
I have P.o.T.S as well as EDS so the reaching up leaves me really breathless, at this rate I don’t know if I’ll ever finish my extensions 🤦🏽♀️
@@WagwanItsBonbon aww love im so sorry i would say hey we could be friends and do eachothers hair but that would still kill our shoulders lol and thats if we are even semi close to each other living wise lol
@@onixpanda13 Omg hair buddies that would be so sweet 😭 I don’t suppose you like anywhere near the south UK? 😂 I feel like it would be too big of a coincidence!
@@WagwanItsBonbon no im sorry i live in arizona unfortunately lol i wish i didnt but i do im working on trying to move out tho because as soon as you say i hate arizona i cant handle the heat it hurts everyone immediately attacks you and is like. WELL IF YOU DONT FUCKING LIKE IT THEN LEAVE WHY ARE YOU HERE ummm because i was born here and am only 22 it costs quite a bit of money to just up and move everything ive literally had people screaming that at me since i was like 15 as if a 15 year old can just up and move states
@@onixpanda13 Omg just a little bit far away then, only an ocean between us 😂😂
Ahh that’s so annoying, people don’t seem to understand how hard it is to move! Not everyone has the means to just up their whole life and restart somewhere else.
I hope you can manage to make the move as soon as possible, good luck with it! Where would you like to move to? 😊
Hi love your videos I’m off to attempt to dread mine tomorrow is they any thing I need to do to my own hair and scalp before I put dreads in x
Was the ring on your index finger made by Greg Thorne??
What kind of crochet hook thingy are you using? I can't do it to my dreads with the hook I have... I wanna tighten them but I can't really do it by myself, its hard lol I love your videos btw! You look like Piper Chapmen too but you're gorgeous as hell!
What’s the best way to deal with those gaps you mentioned..?
I love your videos my fellow stoner ❤️ Iv recently had dreads applied to my hair. Unfortunately it's a week later and the fuzzy stage has started. Any advice? Iv croctet it and also used a locking product. But it's these fuzzy bits at the root are still there. I'm kinda worried about it as I'm going on holiday next week and need some advice. Thank you in advance
Can you use synthetic hair for this?
Justified Jess yes, though you could use yarn, or even ripped cloth strands if you wanted to 🤷♀️ anything that won’t get gross (some yarns do). You could also go to the dollar store (or whatever it’s called where you are) and get faux hair
yes, you can (kanekalon), but be aware. you can wear those extensions for max. a year, then they look bad. also you can't dye them, they can't have open ends, they're itchy, when they mature they don't look natural
Where did you get your extensions from and what kind are they? Real? Synthetic? Etc. Thanks!!
I'm defenaitly gonna do this next time I put dread extensions in.
Wow amazing!! Would love for you to do my extensions but I'm in Arizona! Anyone who does dreads in Tucson?
Chita Hearse hey :) I live in Phoenix. Have you considered free form dreads or dreads by form of neglect? I'm 6 months into my dread journey and I absolutely love them!
Hello! Will these extensions stay in permanently as she contincues to maintain her growth? Or do you need to take them out after a certain amount of time?
how long would you recommend someone's hair should be to try dreads
Any tips on NOT breaking crochet hooks constantly? I’ve gone through 4 already 😫😭
Any advice on attaching home made dread extensions to 6 month old dreads?? I know the way they mature might be a little weird but do you attach them the same way??
I have been looking for a video like this for at least a year... Thank you!!! Do you have any experience doing this with a wool extension? My hair is only about four inches long, so the idea of adding in an extension while I am forming my locks is incredibly appealing, but I like the idea of using wool.
+Labyrinth Hoops No experience with wool. I should try it out! I imagine it's the same? Hmmm.. Did you find any helpful videos?
+Wired And Stoned I have mostly seen wool as temporary extensions. I have seen a couple of examples of a wool extension being sewn (needle and thread) onto a mature dreadlock, but this is the first video I have come across where someone is actually putting in an extension while forming the dreadlocks. If you end up trying it out, please share your experience!
Is it better to dread clean hair, or oily hair?
Hi, are these for temporary or can it be forever or until your own hair is long enough?
So where did you get your crochet hook like that from because I can't find those that small
Are you using Kanekalon or human hair for the extension?
Do you twist always in the same direction? Or does it not matter?
So I think my loctition put my extension too close to my scalp and they are itching so badly like my extension is poking my scalp. I watched this video before I got dread extensions to know what to expect, I was so excited but now im a miserable mess! I know this is a super old video but can someone help?!
omg i want you to do my hair so bad. too bad i live in fl
Hey! As you know I'm growing out my undercut. How long does my hair have to be before I can add extentions to it? It's about 2" long now
Melanie Klar I would wait til 3 inches to be safe!
im literly doing the exact same thing rn as u
Im having trouble with mine. They are 2months old and the roots are so fuzzy. Anything i can do? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. TIA
@@jaybentley7877 have u tried crocheting? (0.05mm is best) you could also retwist the new growth (dont use wax)
@@vuks-fj7fl yes but i just mess them up mpre BC I keep getting the hook stuck..
I love your pure 💓. it is refreshing.
I'd love my hair to be done 🙂
What's the shortest length of hair you have dreaded?
How long does extension last can it last forever
Would a needle work instead of a hook? I have a .75 crochet needle.
😲 wow amezing video
Are you still available to do dreads for people? I’ve recently become obsessed with dreads and really want some but I can’t find anybody here I trust and I don’t trust myself enough to do them. 😂
Apryl Gunter yep! Email us at getwiredandstoned@gmail.com!
can you please make a video about trimming your dreads, mine are like about 45 inches long and I'm too afraid to trim them because I don't want to hurt my babies. please help.
An odd question I have and if you or anyone could answer this would be amazing, but does the extension come out over time? Or do you have to kinda cut it out? I am in the process of dreading my hair and with my hair being short I wanted extensions to make it longer but worry if they would fall out over time once my hair is longer then now.
I wish y'all could just come do my dreads for me! Haha
