Thank youuu so much! Been looking through loads of videos and nothing works except for this! Thanks dude xx
Big help. I've been desperately waiting for my hook to arrive, bu now it's here I had no idea what to do with it. Class video. Cheers.

Squashing the dread at the base makes it so much easier and seems to be very effective! Good video and thanks!

Glad to help! 😘
Wish you could fix my natural dreads dude, you seem to know what you're doing unlike many people
The beautyfullst dreads i've ever seen!!!
Super helpful, thanks for taking the time. I know filming that angle wasn't the easiest.
very nice looking locs...good job broda...
Thanks I was looking for straight forward stuff n got it
@Dreadganic than you ever so much for teaching me how to do this Crochet method as unfortunately none of the Ethnic Salons knew how as I hate the other lacht hook. I'll stick to your method straightforward :-) Peace
About to try this....will be back to let you know in a few hours
Finally something that works! THANK YOU!
And this applies also to other loose parts of the dread! (yes, I'm new to dreads)
Thank you once again!
Thanks for this! I am finally caving in and crocheting mines (They are just over a month old) after being talked into keeping it natural
1 month old! baby locks indeed! honestly dont over maintain them in the early days, let them express themselves a little! But you do whats right for your lifestyle and look you want!
beautiful dreads!! Very helpful video thanks!
I've had dreads for ... uh. 5 weeks now, my hair isn't terribly long but I've been trying to work out how the hell I can crochet the back. Thanks for the help ^_^
Thank you I liked the information
dude thankyou this realy helped me, my dreads where a mess
I could listen to your accent all day!!
😊 thanks
Tbh this video finally convinced me to get dreads!
Woo! Thanks what we like to here! Welcome to the dreadFam and stay up to day on how to mature you locks! much love !
Hahaha, you made me dizzy but you are awesome at explaining. Love your method. Thank you.
What do use to maintain them?
Nice one!
Thanks for the video. I have super curly hair and it dreaded itself basically. The only maintenance I did was pulling them apart when they started to form together. And washing them. That being said I have a lot of loose hair that needs to be cleaned up. I have to get a set of hooks because my dreads are not uniform in the slightest which is the way I like it. What I should do is go to a professional for maintenance.
Ive gotten my hair crocheted but i just wet it and roll it for 30 min i really enjoy that method
great video really helped me fix my dreads. thanks man
+Mattresz You're the best Matt, what you up to these days buddy?
+Dread Ganic (Dreadganic) nothing man just styling my dreads and playing rs with lee time to time
great vid bro
what size crochet hook did u use
how long does it take for all the work?
went from 999 subscribers to 1000 because of a newbie!!! soon... dreads are coming soon...
it really helped thanks
uhh Taro playin in the backround👍❤
Have you always maintained your own hair? Man yours look real good. I’m scared crocheting near the roots just Incase I pull loose hair from another section in. What size crochet hook do you use?
Thank god for this video
This is helpful thank you and also your beautiful
You’re welcome 😊
i wasn't expecting to be so engrossed haha. those eyes!
Great video! I wish I could've gotten a better look at the crochet needle.
just using a 0.5 crochet hook!
THANK YOU!
What size crotchet hook?
***** I was wondering on your crochet hook. I've got two kinds here at home. Haven't used them yet. I've got the opened kind of hook and the other is latch kind. Where it open and closes as it goes through something. Which kind did you use? Trying to figure out which is best to use on dreadlocks. Thanks. Love you video. Very helpful. I didn't know that's how you do that at the roots. I've been wondering about that for a while now too. Super helpful. Thanks again. :) digging the dreads too.
so im using a simple open hook crochet hook size 0.5 :) glad the vid helped!
How many dreadlocks do you have in this video? Im planning to have my hair dreaded this year and I want it to be just like yours. I'll appreciate your response.
How many years are your dreads? Thy look very well maintained! Great job. Love the way they look.
3 years! thanks! im letting them go wild these days though!
Hey mate..AWSOME DREADS !! can u let me know where u had them made?
Made these guys by myself dude!
Would a homemade crochet hook work? mine is a pencil.
Crochet hooks are designed in a specific way a pencil wouldn't work
How many Locs do you have in total
very helpful, thank you! I'm very new to having dreads so this helps quite a lot. And I mean as others have said, take no offence, you're gorgeous.
Alexa Wilson thank you, great observation on my appearance, good reflection of the message I put out to the world. "Dreadlocks make you beautiful" ha. Seriously though thanks
Lmao well it had to be said, the dreads and the accent help. seriously though your dreads are so uniform and dense, serious kudos. Mine are still very loose but I only got them yesterday. Hoping to have a beautiful matted mane in the not so far off future!

So would you say this is a safe way to crochet it? based on your experience do u get hair thinning like what other people say about crocheting dreads. I'm planning to get dreadlocks but I want to maintain it here and there just to not make it look too messy.
EffinRad I've never had a problem, but it really depends on your hair type and how fast your hair grows.. Crotching your dreads too much will cause thinning, you just need to not over do it!
okay thanks!!
hey! how can u dread your hair in neck side. mirror or something
I usually just go by feel, once youve done the top and sides and can see and feel how they look doing the back isnt too hard, remember dreads dont need to be perfect.. They sort themselves out over time!
How can bye riban
FUTURE BAE!!
I'm not sure if you'll see this but what hook size do you use?
I usually 0.5 - 0.75
TaroooOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOO!! Do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes!
Does that pulling in and out cause breakage? I have very young dreads, so I'm looking for the safest thing! Lol
*clarification* they are a partial head, I am testing to see if I can fully commit to them and if so, I'll be doing a full head! 😁
Yeah, it's right.
That's how I do it all the time.
By the way, your dreadlocks are amazing.❤️
subscribe! ☺️
Please respond what do I do when I have dreads and my hair keeps growing so I have straight hair for half an inch then it starts my dreads
So you can either leave the new growth and it will naturally dread, the new natural dread will grow differently to crochet dreads, they will be softer and have waves in them if you let the do it themselves or you can crochet the new growth every couple of months. Really depends of what look you want, If you leave it then the dreads look a little bit more messy but natural or you crochet them and they look super neat and tidy but they can hurt for a few days after doing this each time as the new dread pulls on the scalp.. hope this helps
Dread Ganic thank you
I've heard that crocheting dreads can cause baldness. And tension alopecia but you're not having thin scalp so I should be ok
my dreads are short makes it even harder in the back 😳
i just made a video on how to repair dreadlocks and it would be super cool if u could take a look !!
what size hook?
0.5 mm i think
use what works best for you, but usually it is smaller than 1mm, like 0.75mm or 0.5mm
Could you tell me please the number of the crochet? I think that it's the mm. Thaaaanks!
Laia Sabaté im using a 0.6mm hook!
Laia Sabaté 0.5 is great though for maintaining locks 0.6 for the creation of them
you was very fast! i was using a 1 mm but it's a lot. Thanks :)
So basically what makes it tight is the twisting as you use the crotchet hook
?

Hi beautiful!
Would be a better video if you used a hair band to keep your dreads out of the damn way. Lol
Nice dreads though.
You are cute
And so are you 😶
Well thanks (;
You have beautiful locks! But the way you're crocheting them terrifies me haha. It seems to be working for you, but I'd be too worried about breaking hairs to crochet them that aggressively.
scrumhalf9rugby looks aggressive but I do it with a very light hand just fast 😜
Thanks for the tutorial. Lol next time clip your hair up lol.
No luck
So much wax they're like candles ^^
MinikuiOtoko no wax...
thus is whack video sir ,
Those aren't dreads my dude...
haha you do you brother! Call them what you will but i'll keep doing me and you keep doing you! Live long!
