      @@rjeffries90 I’m at 7 months and not fully locked yet, still a lot of frizz but def see locks forming. I saw someone say they were freeforming for 7 months and he had a full set of dreads like 6” length…. That can’t be free form right?

  • @Diwani_Spark14
    @Diwani_Spark14 4 года назад +9

    In 2018 I cut my twisted locs of 13 years. And I started the Freeform process. My issue is I constantly kept going over my hair with the sponge. I couldn’t see the long term. So two other times after that I started and stopped. Now I’m back to letting my hair be. I realize patience is key. You are right it starts in the mind.

    I like watching dreadlock videos, it motivates me to keep on going, but this is the best freeform video I've seen. Straight to the point, not boring and it's so positive. None of that "Pros and Cons" and "Don't get dreadlocks because........" It's perfect. Love it.

    It’s crazy bro I started watching you 7 years ago when you had your first set of locks. I was getting out of the military and wanted to know more so I subbed to you and zayloc23. I ended up growing a freeform set that I had for 4 years and cut due to mold. I grew my hair out again but didn’t loc it. I just wanna say thanks for all the inspiration big up

    Chopped off my dreads in March. I had 15 months of dreads, only twisted them to start them. I loved them a lot, especially after I embraced to neglecting and let it dreqd naturally from there. I had four Congos forming but I had regretted not starting from free form. Now I'm basically bald and starting again this time fully free form.

      @@yokubo6983 if u are freeforming wash your hair 3x a week starting out it'll help your pattern to form once it starts to form u can go 2x or once a week whatever u prefer, use natural shampoo (Dr Bronner is good) or anything without alot of chemicals dont use conditioner, let it air dry or use a microfiber towel n a circular motion and sleep with a microfiber towel on your pillow it'll help the locking and forming process. As far as maintenance that's it just let be you'll see your locks start to form n a few months oh and if u can stand it wash your hair in cold water.
