I can not thank you enough for your videos!! im in month 2 of my journey and added extensions a few days ago and i cant be happier! thank you for your beautiful videos and beautiful vibes!
I was crochet-maintaining my 4 yo dreads as I was watching you video, and.. holy wow!!!!! I'll finish watching your video, but- and I've been SEARCHING self-maintanance videos for *years* and never saw anything that actually helped! Your hand-rolling technique right around the 6min mark literally just took everything I'd just spent the last 15min trying to crochet, and LEGIT took care of it in 3 seconds!!!
I
CAN'T
THANK
YOU
ENOUGH
Btw I just realized my 9yo daughter changed my profile pic lol
I'm slowly getting my hair into dreads. Doing a couple every few days just so I can ease into it. Is there any tips for that? I loved how informative this video is and adore your energy
Dreads are not for me BUT I adore your smile and free spirit. Thank u for sharing yourself with us
"if you want to make comments about cultural appropriation...." 😂 Love it.

🤣🤣🤣
Just ordered the Ultimate Kit! Already started my dreads but wanted the kit aways. I am super excited to do this!!❤
Dr. Locs has worked the best for me so far 💕
thank you .. super high brownie points for actually explaining everything fully and intelligently.. it's nice not to hunt a topic and end up searching trying to find a complete answer. ☕🍰
I'm doing all my research before getting dreads. Your video was so helpful!!
Love your energy! I am definitely making dreadz on my hair and I am super excited! This video was very informative and helpful.
Highly recommend the DoTerra Shampoo & Conditioner... Loaded with essential oils -- but I even add more rosemary
omg your dreads look so pretty now!! i mean they always have but wow ** heart eyes**
Thank you! Yes they have matured A LOT and I'm feeling real good about them now! ^_^
Ah this channel makes me happy inside and out ^.^
I'm 16 and I've wanted dreads since I was 11. My hair is to like my shoulders and its brown. I'm super inspired by your hair, I'm going to dye it pink or use the conditioner you used then I'm going to put my hair in dreads. I'll be sure to buy your kit and use your tips for care. I'm extremely excited about this
OOh!! Excited for you!! If you have Instagram, tag us in a photo when you do it! We'd love to see! @wiredandstoned #wasdreads
LOVE your videos!! My son and I are getting dreads, technically his started yesterday, so your videos are VERY informative!! You rock!
I LOVE the spritz with essential oil! Um ya. It has like, changed my life.
I use oils anyway for other things but never thought to use them on my 6 month old dreads. GREAT IDEA. I have fractionated coconut oil because it is so not greasy . That would be great for the scalp...but how many drops in total do you use in what quantity_ Your video is great...first time I thought to check on RUclips too...need to tidy them up and your explanation and really fun attitude was just the perfect way to sit watch, tidy and drink coffee in the morning. Thanks! I{m in Baja California Sur, Mexico, but will head up to San Diego and then LA in January....where would you be traveling from if I wanted dread help_
This was helpful, thanks! I enjoy learning as much as I can! Love the pink that you had here! 😍☮️❣️
FINALLY, someone with ACTUAL, BEAUTIFUL dreadlocks. Everyone else has knotty and tangled dreadlocks. Yours are SO pretty, they are thin and there is a lot of them. Your roots aren't weak, which is KEY. Love this video, you slay dreadlocks!
Queensavage999 XD thank you! 💞
Wired And Stoned OMG your welcome! Thank you so much for replying!!!
I agree
They’re knotty and tangled because they’re natural freeform locks, not man made and poserish. I wouldn’t have mine any other way.
@@ina1815 thank you!
I’ve never seen palm rolling like that. I really enjoyed this. I’m going to be starting some on my friend for her so I’m really excited I watched this! ❤️❤️
Rosewater homemade has been amazing too!
On my 3rd crop of dreads, about to dread my friends hair soon, been needing to update my knowledge! Thanks for the tips! I need to start using that distilled water/oils!
you are so cute! I'm in my early 40s & (naturally) silver-streaked; after watching some of your vids I think I'm finally ready to lock it up. love your EO concoctions & natural approach! subbed 😙
Dreads are natural for everyone, no such thing as culturally appropriate dreads. Much love all.
Yesss dr bronners is my shittttt💜I use that for everything. I agree it’s very drying, so I don’t use it on my hair. But anything else that needs to be degreased I use it on!😊
I have watched so many videos trying to figure out how to do stuff with my Caucasian dreads thanks for actually getting to the point and not trying to make a RUclips career out of it LOL
This is good advice for undreads too
What’s the best way to dry them? Or like how do you dry quickly?
Rough transcript / my notes:
On the daily:
FIRST:
Shower in a bottle: distilled water (keep from mildew), essential oils - lavender (moisturizing), rosemary, tea tree (antifungal, helps with itchy scalp), eucalyptus, lime (revitalizing), peppermint
SECOND:
Oil - same mixture, except, instead of distilled water, it’s apricot / almond / vit E / olive / avocado oil (whichever is best) DON’T use sesame or coconut oil. Can moisturize dreads but also use on scalo specifically, esp when dreads are new or freshly tightened. Helps with dandruff and itchiness.
Occasionally:
If have bad dandruff itch problem, use head and shoulders with tea tree added will help, soaked on scalp for a bit and rinsed - but not on dreadlocks themselves cuz of residue. Do not use wax ever.
Palm rolling - can help with frizzies.
Washing dreads, once every couple weeks.
More you wash, looser they get. But when you dry after washing, they tighten up. Try not to wash when you are able not to. Uses dr bronners with lavender when washes hair but she’s looking for conditioning shampoo. Lush? Daddio is purple. Don’t let dreads stay wet. Thicker = longer time to dry. Can get mildew. No bun or braid while wet. Deep cleansing wash if you did get skunk sprayed or something. Use soak of raw apple cider vinegar (ew stinky) but feel soft afterward. No conditioner.
Maintenance:
Month after get dreads, 6 months after that, once a year after that.
Turn roots into dreadlocks via backcombing loose hair and using crochet hook. Trial and error to make the roots dreads the same diameter as rest of dreads.
After maintenance will be achy and tender or itchy for a couple days.
I watch YT videos on 2x speed. You look... very energetic
what a great video on dreads! Thanks!
Can you please give me some ideas to do with my hair (I do t have dreads, sorry I know that's kind of what this Chanel is about)
Color: dirty blond
Straight or curly: curly
Length: medium
That's my hair. All I really do with it is straighten it, put it in a bun, and put it in a/two French braid(s)
Where are you located ? And I’m assuming you traveling to a customer would cost them an arm and a leg ?
African Black Soap is the other natural, conditioning, clarifying shampoo. And it doesnt dry the scalp like Dr. Bronners. And its cheap.
Hopefully this question gets answered. What are your ratios for oil:water? Also, can you just mix your carrier oil with your ‘daily shower’ oil?
my extensions are 100% hair and we paid a bit for them but they smell like barbie doll hair. my friend and I have been doinf them for over a month and half because of our conflicting schedules but i think were doing pretty good. im learning so i can maintain hers.
I'm starting my dreads this week. I was going to go to a salon once my disability kicked in, however they want $350 if your hair is 6 inches, and the longer it is, obviously the more costly. I figured it'd be more of an experience and better journey if I did them myself. So, therefore, sniffing around youtube watching different dread tips and how to's. You mentioned don't let them stay wet. Do you suggest towel drying and squeezing into the towel? Or maybe keeping the blow dryer handy? I'd really appreciate a response.
Hehehe! I wish I could afford to pay for you tome to the uk to give my locks maintenance...I really would! Beautiful locks! xxx
Head and shoulders isn't an anti fungal dont use it if you want to get rid of dandruff, it coats the scalp so it looks like it is gone but it is sealed in to your head causing it to only get worse and spread
When making a spray, how do you decide how much of each drops do you use?
4 to 6 drops of every essential oils , specially lavender, rosemary and tea tree in 75 ml spray bottle filled with 60 ml of distilled water .
Thanks in advance 😊😊
What about the mixture with oil?
I used coconut and my dreads where a focking mess after a few months
soooo i dont use that any more
Im so glad I learned to get a drink of water😂
You are my favorite dread lady on the tube! Last week I followed through with your twist and tear method mixed with some back combing, and I am really trying to get the crocheting down but am having troubleI also used bee's wax...did I already fuck them up? Should I try to wash them to get the wax out or just keep going and not add anymore??? Or do something else? I hope you get this... thank you for your videos
My dreads are a month old and every so how one has 2 to 3 maybe more loops. You'd are so straight and rope like! Do you crochet the loops in or did you just not get any loops?
I think I would look great with dreads I'm doing it !
Do you think rose water with maybe tea tree as a dread or scalp spray would be okay? I love the daddio tint on your dreads 🥰.
GENIOUS! Your oil idea is genious! I was so scared to use oil on my newbie dreads but little drops are so nice and soothing! thank you thank!
I’m growing my hair atm to make some nice dreads, most useful video i’ve seen yet... there is only 1 thing you didnt mention, how much essential oil should i mix into how much distilled water/ carrier oil?
Thanks!
I have an issue.. I have synth dread extensions. I also work as a cannabis trimmer😁. The smell is overwhelming overwhelming. I have to shampoo my hair everyday. I know this isn’t appropriate for dreads but idk what else to do. Is there a suggestion to help eliminate the smell or to prevent it?
Some days are far worse then others depending on the strain.
Thank you 🙏 this is very informative I’m looking to dread my sons hair subbed and followed cheers
so I put in 12 dreads back in october and I'm a lol apprehincive about using a crochet hook for matience.... help
How many drops of essential oils do you put in the distilled water and the oil??? I'm about to get dreads and wanna get ready for them!! 😁
What if I only want like 2 dreads on the bottom half of my hair? How will I wash my regular hair with the dreads being on the bottom and will get all wet and stuff?😅
THE most PERFECT video about dreadlocks care =)
How do you keep your dreads at the scalp neat. Like I'm trying to figure out how to put a lot of loose hair back into the dread at the scalp from it getting thin and hair breaking. Asking for my bf, he is white.
DREADLOCK OBSESSSED
So I really need to know the ratio of distilled water to drops of oil.....
hey girly! you're beautiful and thank you for the video!! just so you know Head and Shoulders has paraffin wax in the product, so it coats the scalp and doesn't actually help with dandruff :( I'd recommend the tea tree shampoo by Paul Mitchell to help!
Thanks for the heads up!!
Hello lovely lady. I got a full head of dreads a week ago. I didn't do research before committing, not the first one. Watching your videos on crocheting and dread maintenance has put my mind at ease. Feeling more comfortable and confident from your shared dread knowledge. I will be getting urgent maintenance tomorrow. From then on I will be using the oils you prescribed in this video (Not coconut oil, as I found out the hard way haha). Using your palm rolling technique and frequent crochet practise. Should be a pro in no time. Love your videos, you are super bubbly and charismatic. Charming personality. I will stay tuned. I sincerely thank you for your time.
You mentioned that you would travel to help with dreads. I know this video is old but are you still down to do that? I live in MN.
Love your dreads
My first time having real dreads so I'm excited. Your videos are the most helpful, organic, and detailed. I enjoy it thank you!!!
I saw this on the Tribe ❤️❤️❤️ my dreads are almost 2 months old. And I never knew about using oil for itchy scalp. Thank you for the advice! Love and Light Sistar
Have you tried the oil? If so, how's it working?
I love her hands for some reason. Mine are similar to hers, we in the tough hands club lol
I want dreads now ^^' But idk if I can do that alone 😂 maybe one day 😊 thank you for your videos ! I subscribe. Kisses from France 😘
You seem like you might be one of my a kindred spirits and I would love to meet you, I have young new dreads (couple months old) and would love to learn more from you it's hard maintaining my dreads I'm a musician so I tend to get lazy with them and tend to freak out at times but I know I shouldn't but I have no one to help other than your videos and others videos if there is even the slightest chance I could meet you I'd be eternally grateful so please let me know if there's anyway I could chat with you or meet you YOU WONDERFUL NATURAL BEAUTY
Hi Dillon! Where are you located? I would love to help you with your dreads and meet you too, kindred!
+Wired And Stoned I'm located in Ventura in Southern California
I shaved my head but I am growing it out to the length I want. I am saving your videos and getting the materials to take care of the dreadlocks, and then start my locks!!! I've been indulging in so many videos so many things about dreadlocks, the persuasions and I feel mature enough to start mine once my hair grows!! Love this video.
I have been growing my hair for almost 7 years and just started my dreads and your video was very helpful.
Natural shampoo recipe that I've used for about two years now that doesn't cause build up. It's great for silky, shiny hair, and for hair growth. I love it! I double or triple the recipe so it lasts longer. I'm lazy like that. 😁
❏ 1/4 cup of water in glass mixing bowl
❏ 3/4 cup castile soap
❏ 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
❏ 10 drops tea tree oil
❏ 5 drops lemon oil
❏ 2 drops lavender
❏ 2 drops peppermint
❏ 3 drops thieves oil
❏ 5 drops Rosemary
❏ 5 drops Clary Sage
❏ 5 drops Thyme
❏ 5 drops Cedarwood
❏ Leave in for 3 minutes
❏ Rinse
I have dreads and mine aren't very pretty😭 I have never used oils or wax or even a crochet hook...HELP ME!!!!
i wish i was brave enough to get them because they're so groovy.. yours are awesome
You can always start with just a couple! And if ya hate it, brush em out!
oh, i had never thought of that. thanks for the tip i think ill try! c:
Wired And Stoned
i love your dreads it is so pritty...me and my mom like actuly tried to make dreads in my hair but we cant get it right😧😧😥😥😥
What proportions do you use to make up your daily spray and scalp oil? ❤
Why do white peoples get more views on dreadlocks than the people that actually started the hairstyle and have the best dreads aka blacks
i wash mine every 3 or 4 days and havent had any issues 2 weeks seems a bit excessive but to each there own.
I wash mine every 4 but I wanna start every 7 to 10 days especially because they're new

I'm getting my dreads done tonight, thank you for the information
Wait but I'm a swimmer and I have dreads now so...
So if you go swimming say in a river or pool, what if you can’t dry your dreads for a long time? What do I do to make them not mildew? I want dreads in the summer but I want to know as much as possible to keep them clean and stuff before I get them💚
You can’t leave them wet for long periods.. period. They will mildew. Either keep them up when you swim or make sure you can dry them all or almost all the way before sleeping.
How much of each oil do you put in you daily spray?
I'm not interested in dreadlocks at all but o my word...you are so adorable and interesting to listen too! LOL
My dreads are a week old and I love touching them all the time. Ok or not?
MIne are too! Well, almost a week. I do too! I play with them constantly! I have itched a little, but not horribly. How about you? I had a guy (who had 9 yr old dreads) tell me that it will help them loc up faster.
Some itchiness. Some dandruff. Washed my head with baking soda and acv the other day. Gonna be more fierce with saltwater spraying them. I've been told that locks can be made with any kind of hair, but I actually had one extension fall off the other day! The lady had to attach a new one. They don't seem to be interested in any locking at all. All straight and smooth at the roots. Wish I too had someone I could be mentored by.
Now that I'm washing my scalp weekly, I don't have much itchiness, plus I'm using a plain dandruff shampoo. I don't have extensions, but I did have a few that came completely apart, so I redid them using the twist and rip method and they look great! There were several others that had been mostly twisted, so I needed to separate them into the two dreads that they wanted to be.
Sunroad Aa I'm 7 months in when I got them I messed with them so much I glad I did because they do help the lock process and they're way shorter but it's part of the the journey be careful with sea salt that was my dandruff problem I finally got it under control because I got scabs and bad bad dandruff the oils are the best way!
I touch mine alot too!
I have curly hair and I'm thinking about getting partial dreads I'm wondering when it comes to washing my hair will it be a problem for me i usually wash my hair every 3 days
After you spray, should you dry your hair? And how? Like a towel, or a blow dryer, or is it not needed? Also, what's the ratio for the oils to distilled water and to the carrier oil?
And also, after doing the oil on the scalp, do I wash it out or leave it in?
Love you guys! 💖 and this is a weird compliment but I love your voice haha
What a pleasant compliment! Thank you!
+Wired And Stoned you are more than welcome! Hope all is well 🌻
Maddie Christensen If I tried do that, I would have tiny studs in my head. haha
WOW!! SO INFORMATIVE! THANK YOU!!!
I've had partial dreads for a year now and I've never crocheted them because I just cannot figure out how to use it!! I've watched videos but it doesn't make sense to me 😭
I'll make a video making it real easy to understand!
+Wired And Stoned awesome 😉
You could definitely try palm rolling!
we made a detailed video about the crochet method, check it out!
How do you retwist straight hair dreads?
im allergic to mints and that includes lavender im having a hard time getting my locks tight
How do you dread new growth of hair?
I have a hard time crocheting my own locks and I have about an inch of hair that is not dreaded at my scalp. I'm frustrated, help!
Definitely best video I've ever watched on maintenance and care. THANK YOU
Got dreads recently in my natural hair grown for 3 years😍
I had dreads 25 years ago. Really miss them, in my late 40's now ..............is that too old to get them again............
You're never too old to enjoy things in life. Just my 2 cents.
I use Dr Bronners DILUTED with water (about 1 part Dr B to 10 parts water - super watery) and I use a squeeze ketchup bottle to get it on the scalp for a regular washing. For a deep cleanse, I like to make an ACV, lemon juice and baking soda mixture with water in a bowl and soak for a while then rinse. It’s magical! (The proof will be in the bowl - pretty gnarly). Happy Dread journey indeed. (I’m on my 3rd set and have learned a lot about having thin, straight, white girl dreads).
what type of water did she say? I didnt really understand... btw i love this video, im litarlly watching this while making muy dreads. Im ready to goin the dreadlock comunity (sorry for my bad English)
Distilled water
hemp oil, have you ever used that?
I've got synths (cause I'm indecisive and want coloured hair haha) but this has been so useful especially the oils that they you reccomened!
Please make a video explaining in depth how to crochet to tighten the dreadies. I keep messing up and getting discouraged and frustrated. Your videos are all so precious. Thank you for this video it was super informative. But crochet tutorial for dreads would be super helpful. Love and light! ☉💕
I will surely try! It is hard to explain... but I'll do it!
thank you so much! I've been considering dreads for a long while but I just chopped the back of my hair off so I'm gonna let it grow a few more inches before extentions. this is so helpful! I'm gonna check out yalls site! excited! can't wait
