This video inspired me to start my dreads again. I started with a microfiber towel and already see the separation and can't wait to see how they come out.
The best method is to use a regular brush or even ya fingers in a klaw shape and that’s because towel and sponge strips moisture these item literally soak up water now when using brush or finger the brush is faster day 1 result but your fingers over time like waving will give u better results as your hair grows longer or u can start off using a brush and when u hair gets longer switch to using ur finger key note use this method with wet wet hair or showering especially with longer hair so u can shape in the direction u want ya hair to flow and grow
just a tip and no offense but it will work better if you use sponge first then towel and I know this is probably made for people who dont have a sponge but great video Gunther
I started with a sponge, moved onto towel and now i have locs that hang halfway across my forhead, i stopped using the towel and just using my fingers to occasionally twist the loose roots because my dreads are locking from the tips down to root, i dont wanna use products or anything, what should i do to prevent loose roots
guys word of advice from someone who tried the coil method, towel method, and sponge method: if you want dreads, USE THE SPONGE METHOD IT WORKS THE FASTEST AND LOOKS THE BEST
Hey Gunther. I was wondering. Im a white dude with the waviest hair type you can get I don’t remember the technical term. But I was wondering if Bantu knots was a good idea to get curls. I want tight curls and I’ve had my hair permed before. Also I was wondering if you knew if getting a perm and then Bantu knotting my hair would make my hair tight curls? Also other people Im open to suggestions to get tighter curls. Anything is appreciated.😁
Im here because one of the guys on discord accidently leaked his reddit account and he had the nappiest ragged looking matted hair and said they were "towel rub dreads". Obviously didnt foll9w your tutorial or his hair was too long and strait
I have african hair and have hair that goes down to my mouth when I pull it and I've done freeform with towel and sponge for two days and I already got dreads
im trying this and it works great but you cant do it too long everyday id suggest 5-10 mins in the morning every other day like, do it one day and skip a day and then do it the next , i did it every day morning and night for a total of 20-30 mins for around 2 weeks and it started thinning which is bad
Wow thx i knew u could use a towel but i didnt know how to PROPERLY use it to get dreads. But can u wash ur hair while u do this or do u have to not wash ur hair while ur getting dreads using this method
does this method work for someone whos grown their hair out a good bit before starting locks? I grew my fro out quite a bit before deciding to start my lock journey, roughly 3 to 4 inches
orlander robinson to be honest I don’t think the term semi freeform exists Sure you start out with a shape, but freeforming is the state of not manipulating your hair so how are you freeforming half way? Just a thought.
@@viscosity7893 alright here's the thing semi freeforming is when you use a sponge a brush a towel or whatever and apply product to your hair for your hair to lock now actually freeforming is when you don't do nothing to your hair you don't use a brush a towel or a sponge and no product and you let your hair do it's thing for it to lock
You can also use a sock if you really strugglin
Omm the jail way
Ira Sheppard 💔😂
You the MVP Ira 🏆😂😬
And your hand lol
Does socks work also
Starting him off right ✊🏾🔥 He's so lucky to start off with someone who has so much knowledge on starting dreads 💯
All this jit do is crotchet everybody head tf 😂
So you’re not supposed to wash your hair after the locks form? I’m confused. How do you clean it then?
@@trevoryoung7184 u can wash it but not very often about once or twice a month so like do it every 2 weeks
Is that j Cole from 2011😂
Thats what im thinking
Yea with Lonzo Ball.
Xavier Pitter I know right he look just the way J Cole looked back in 2011 before he got dreads
I dont see it😄
Yeah I'm seeing it. And his eyes 1:35
An actual good idea
Take 1-3 fans and help them get dreads
Imma volunteer
Thats acc brilliant
K Simmons yo my names keon simmons
But its easy
It's not that hard to get dreads if you have the right hair type
This dude is a great editor😂😂
Exactly the guys hair look different from the thumbnail 😂. He ain't slick
RICKY sparta on meeeeeeee
Thx I really appreciate all the tutorials on how to get dreads

This actually worked and i have like less than 1 inch of hair. Thanks bro
I heard using the towel method then the sponge directly afterwards makes it more defined faster. It works good for combed out hair too

I love this Africans in portugal do dreads this way!! ❤️👏🏾👏🏾
Keep up great work I just started freeform dreads and they look weird but they will grow

Lol this brings flashbacks 😂
I started my 3yrs old son hair this way but use cold water on the rag tho it really works
It works pretty good with straight hair too
Amazing mate, didn't know you can start dreadlocks with a towel lol. Thanks for putting it in creative Commons ( :
Oh wow how fascinating is THAT thanks a mil 👍🏾 I love it ❤️
Was i the only one that thought that he was his brother
u encouraged me to start dreads
man was smooth with the "free 99"
3 99*
Are you gonna keep us updated tho?

Hey Gunther can you make a video about comb twisting with gel?? It’d be clutch🙏🏽🙏🏽 God Bless
Wow man only been using an old towel and it looks proper natty already 👊🏿🙏🏾
Really slept on this till I tried it 😩😩✋🏼 results are definitely better if your hair ranges from 2c to 3c

I got my dreads on accident I was rocking the two strand for way too long and they locked so from there I just kept gettin them retwisted
The Non-Believer yeah this girl I used to mess with re did them everytime they got little messy so it would look fresh again
Same bruh haha
Same lmao, they looked so good after the first day and then fucked them up

Also a tennis Racket works, I've been using it for 3 years now and it's really payin off.
This is actually better for when your locs get to long for the sponge
i have a 2b hair type and it still works. great tutorial tho bro
guys word of advice from someone who tried the coil method, towel method, and sponge method: if you want dreads, USE THE SPONGE METHOD IT WORKS THE FASTEST AND LOOKS THE BEST
It’s exactly what I use
I use towel and sponge
Really depends on your hair type. For people with looser straighter hair towel works better.
How tf do you wash? I’ve been doing it for a week and haven’t been washing and my hair is getting dandruff and itchy af??
DH Essay its growing
Love your vids bro💪🏾
Thanks of for showing me because I'm starting mines soon 🤩🙊

I literally did the same thing I just had my dreads for two weeks and wash them out this morning ggs
Im invested in his loc journey. Wheres his hair at today? 😂

Lxrd_Raven yes
It might work to change the way it looks, but ultimately your hair can't change textures
Lxrd_Raven check out my dread vid and sub of u like it
8:42 that the only reason im here :)
I've been using a sponge for a year now I have use the tower before tho
My dad use to do this in the 70s,not a new method!
Im here because one of the guys on discord accidently leaked his reddit account and he had the nappiest ragged looking matted hair and said they were "towel rub dreads". Obviously didnt foll9w your tutorial or his hair was too long and strait
😭🙏
I’m gonna do this on my friends hair
What do I do if my hair is longer than 5 inches
😂😂im in love with my friend sister and she love black guys with dreads
That's how tall my hair is right now I wonder should I start or wait another month
He got the default face
You stupid bro😂😂
great tutorial 👌
Can we just use a sponge brush instead of a towel? Will there be a difference? Is it better or worst?
I think it's better
Yo in your Page,the white guy with locks kill me🤦🏾♂️😂😂😪
How much times a week do i do this
Bro im doing itt rn
Would have needed this video 2 days ago
BOSTON _ look at my dread vid and sub of it helps
You deserve more subscribers
Hey can it work on longer hair
You should've used a microfiber towel to not get the white stuff your welcome
that is microfiber lmao
Ima try this
Gunther plsssss bring your dreadsssss back😫😫😫
I have african hair and have hair that goes down to my mouth when I pull it and I've done freeform with towel and sponge for two days and I already got dreads

You needed that double line up
Can I do this by myself?? and also i’m 1a can i still towel rub
Wow, thank you so much, I have tried right now. It has come out nicely 👍👍👍
Is the towel supposed to be wet ?
What if your mixed and your hair ain’t the same texture what can I do my hair is more thinner
Wow thx i knew u could use a towel but i didnt know how to PROPERLY use it to get dreads. But can u wash ur hair while u do this or do u have to not wash ur hair while ur getting dreads using this method
Don't wash your hair because Gunther said he waited 2 months for him to wash. Realistically you want 3 weeks or more
Don’t wash your hair for a month if u have African hair and use locking gel
i don’t know if i should get dreads or not i should wait for my face to grow and look more mature maybe
If you want it you should get it
That dude literally looks like J Cole before his beard and dreads 💀
Wow amazing my first time here 💘💘💘
Works well my hair kinda short tho so the results are less visible
Thanks
does this method work for someone whos grown their hair out a good bit before starting locks? I grew my fro out quite a bit before deciding to start my lock journey, roughly 3 to 4 inches
No just get coils
Bro is it a wet or dry towel and can I possibly finish it in one day?
Thank you dude
Do you have to do anything when you go to sleep or naa
LBM TV wear a durag I think
how often should I do the towel rub method????? and will my hair fall while doing it?????
I miss ur dreadsssss since u dont hve em rate makeoutginia he blowinggg up🔥🥀
So if I want true freeform dreds should I just not do any of this?
Well are you semi freeforming or actually freeforming
orlander robinson well I started with a sponge but I only did it for a week so I guess it’s freeform
@@viscosity7893 well that's called semi freeforming

Thanks bro 🤙
When I use a towel it don’t turn out like this or am I suppose to do it for a long time
That’s a rag not a towel but thx for the dread
so why does it matter lmfao you can use a towel
My cousin got dreads from a towel too
Thanks bro
does it need to be wet??
Does the dread sponge work with white straight hair?
Kinda, you have to go very hard and cant have very long hair, you have to have about an inch of hair
