Couple questions, hope you don't mind:) 1. how long can you keep wool dreads in your hair? 2. Can you wash your hair while the dreads are in? 3. Are they reusable?
No problem! We recommend keeping in wool dreads or synthetic dreads for 2 or 3 months. Yes you can wash your hair while wearing dreads, you can use a Spray Shampoo we sell on our website, or use your own shampoo diluted with water in a spray bottle. You can just spray it on your wet scalp and dreads, leave it in a couple minutes and rinse out. Don't wash too often, once a week or less is fine. Make sure you let the dreads dry in a bun on top of your head with a towel wrapped around, so the weight will not cause the dreads to sag. :)
Hi! I really appreciate your video! I have a couple of questions. I followed your advice but my dreads came up a little stiff. Do you know what caused that? What can I do to loosen/soften them? Thank you very much!
There's a couple methods: felt them less they WILL "wiggle" "wave" on their own. But dreads not felted firmly WILL start to felt together. They fall apart easier, not able to wear as many times. The better method, I think, is to felt the heck out of them. Them braid 10 or more together, sink them into hot water, then shock the fibres into "staying" by sinking them into freezing cold water. Leave them braided to dry for at least two days. Then I unbraid them to dry the rest of the way. Voila: wavy/wiggly dreads.
Hi Sofie, how much you need totally depends on the thickness and length of the dreads and how much you want to install. In this video we used around 500 grams of wool. If you roll them tight they won't get damaged fast, but if they do, you can easily roll them over to fix them :) Good luck!
Hello, I really like all your video's and i have got a question. If you want to make the dreads with kanekalon hair, can you use the same technique as with dreads of wool or is it with kanekalon a different technique? Did you have a video how to make a dread with kanekalon hair / synthetic hair?
Hi Jes, when you make dreads with Kanekalon hair you need to use another technique. It's completely different. We'll have video's about different techniques for this in a couple of months. We're working on it :)
For sure wool dreads are easier! I did dreadlock extensions with fake hair for 14 years. The last 4 of those years I started doing wool. So much easier on my body. And waaaaaaay less messy! Fake hair gets EVERYWHERE! I find little pieces and single long strands everywhere all over my house from fake hair. With wool felting you might get soap everywhere. Heh.
Beatrice Pisconti have u considered bobby pins/hair pins/grips to clip them in or get a bunch and sew them together and glue to a hair clip ( ones that is used for hair extensions)
Hello lovely, can you please tell me why we would use olive soap to make dreads? I've seen other tutorials for making dreads and they use just any old soap- is olive soap better in some way?
I think this is probably just because it is more natural and has a decent smell, as wool dreads can smell like wet dog. I make wool dreads and nen I've always used olive soap. :O.
Im having the issue of rubbing the skin off my fingers and palms and getting blisters while felting my dreads..bandaids only do so much lol 😄 Any suggestions for hand protection?
Oef, never had that issue. Are you rolling the dreads with a mat between it? If not, I suggest to rol them with a mat. Or otherwise use an extra towel under that mat. Good luck!
Hi love, we've got it available in our European warehouse, would love to send some over to you. If you're interested, please send us an email to orders@dreadshop.com
Hoi Bente, je gebruikt maar een heel kleine beetje olijfzeep om een volledige plantenspuit te vullen. Een zakje van 25 gram is zeker genoeg voor een hele set met woldreads :)
Your site keeps saying error. Their is no place on your website that sells it. I've even searched it and gone through your entire catalog. Why should I have to call you or send an email, why can't you just have it on your website??????
One click and I can get it from Amazon, organic and vegan for $8 ( 11.5 oz) and have it into days ( free shipping). I can shave it and put it in the bottle.
We have 2 different warehouses, 1 in the USA and 1 in Europe. We don't have it on stock in the USA, but we do have it in Europe. That's why you don't see it on our website. Sorry about that. We can help you out with both the Olive Soap and Wool if you're interested. We need to ship it from our European Warehouse to you.
Elora Schrader it is, but it takes a LOT of time. I’m currently making some sharpie thick wool dreads at home right now and I’ve had to let them dry and roll them each about three times because they weren’t felted enough and I was still able to separate them.
Elora Schrader if you roll them tight enough and hard enough, yes, but it’s not a heavy denseness, if that makes any sense. It gets ever so slightly heavier, barely noticeable

Wonderful video, I really had no idea it was really this easy! Thanks so much! I can't wait to give it a go!
I love this channel I think it is so great and fair that you show videos how to dreads on your own although you sell ready ones. All thumbs up

You might have overworked them. They'll become less stiff when you wear them.
@@dreadshop Thank you so very much!!!
Hii, I can't find the wool on the website! Where do I find it? What kind of wool do you use?
Heyo, I've tried to make my own dread out of wool, however they are not coarse nor solid as the ones I've bought online is there any reason why?
Can you tell me how to make the wavy wool dreadlocks that are so in right now?
There's a couple methods: felt them less they WILL "wiggle" "wave" on their own. But dreads not felted firmly WILL start to felt together. They fall apart easier, not able to wear as many times.

Are there other soaps you can use or does it have to be the olive soap?
We always use Olive Soap, no experience with other soaps.
Green soap should do it to..
how mutch grams of wool do you need for getting like around as dreads as you have ? and will it get damaged fast? :3

Hi can you explain a little bit of how to make the hoop for SE, I’m not getting it.
I have dreads that I unbraided and want to put the three strands together to make one thick dread, how do I do that? They won’t go back together 😢

Thanks that helped a lot! As I did some of synthetic dreads myself is it easier to make wool dreads or synthetic ones? Have a nice day c:
I think wool dreads are a little easier to make compared to synthetic dreads :)

Where can I get the olive soap?
how much wool would i need for a full head? i want to do slim dreads tho, like how much grs of wool should i buy?
Hi Pamela, which length would you like to make your dreads?
Dreadshop im thinking on 50cm aprox
Alright, you will get 18-20 dreads from one package of wool when you make them medium. So you will need 4 or 5 packages of wool for a full head :)
Where do you get the wool?
Where can this wool be purchased
Thank you so much! I do it one,right now..but i have one question,how i put it in my head?(also i have shot hair) 👍❤
Beatrice Pisconti have u considered bobby pins/hair pins/grips to clip them in or get a bunch and sew them together and glue to a hair clip

i dont see the wool or olive soap there on ur website
That's correct, it's all sold out, I'm sorry
How many dreads can u make from the 5m long wool you sell? I'd like medium dreads, and my hair is shoulder length
Hi Kitty, you can read more information about this in our blog: www.dreadlockshop.co.uk/blog/wooldreads.html

Oef, never had that issue. Are you rolling the dreads with a mat between it? If not, I suggest to rol them with a mat. Or otherwise use an extra towel under that mat. Good luck!
You could try wearing gloves made of leather(synthetic leather works too) but the fabric needs to be thick, so it won't roll with the dread.
Leuke video! Kga zeker is proberen om er een paar te maken! :)
Can I just use regular dish soap?
I do. Always have. For years now.
hi! can you help me? what type of wool do you use to make yours? thanks! 🙉
Hi Sara, we use Merino Wool.
thank you!
Als de dreads nog niet zo dicht zijn als je wilt, kun je dan de dag erna ofzo, nog eens water en zeep erop doen en nog eens rollen?
Ja! :) Succes!
Wat voor wol gebruiken jullie om deze te maken
Ik gebruik Merino lontwol
@@MichelleTriepels bedankt voor de informatie 👍🏻
Where can I find this wool? Went to Joanns and couldn't find any :(

Hoeveel olijfzeep moet je gebruiken voor het maken van dreads? Is 25 gram genoeg voor een set dreads?
Hoi Bente, je gebruikt maar een heel kleine beetje olijfzeep om een volledige plantenspuit te vullen. Een zakje van 25 gram is zeker genoeg voor een hele set met woldreads :)
Thnku so much for this video ....
What olive soap is it ?
You can find it here: dreadshop.com/us/hair/wool.html
@@dreadshop thank you
instead of a towel, you can use an ikea mat or yoga mat 😉
Does it have to be olive soap? And why olive sope?
You can use other soap, but olive soap works best and doesn't foam as much as other soap so it is easier to work with.
Alguien me lo puede traducir??? Por fa
Are your dreads the thick ones? How many have you braided in? 🙊
Hi, those dreadlocks are middle sized wool dreads. We have split the wool in two pieces.
Waar haal je die olijven zeep als ik het goed zeg?❤️😬
Hoi Roosje,
de Olijfzeep is verkrijgbaar op onze webshop! Dreadshop.com
Dreadshop Oke heel erg bedankt xxx

good video although I would suggest to use less irritating electronic music, I come for you not to adjust my sound every time you do not speak......

Is it really that easy
You just roll it
Elora Schrader it is, but it takes a LOT of time. I’m currently making some sharpie thick wool dreads at home right now and I’ve had to let them dry and roll them each about three times because they weren’t felted enough and I was still able to separate them.
Jewel Martin ah, that makes sense. Do they get denser every time you roll them?

You really.... don't need to cut wool... just pull it apart.
