To put this into perspective I happen to be a black woman. Do half of y’all got nothing better to do with ur time then to criticize n belittle ppl u don’t know? I for one think if white ppl wanna wear dreads then it’s their business. One culture can not lay claim to any hairstyle. If you don’t like it that’s ur damn business. Besides I’ve seen so many black girls relaxing their hair to make it straight like a white girls so can any of y’all really talk? If you don’t like it thats one thing, but DO NOT make fun of white how want dreads cuz y’all would be pissed if a white girl made fun of you for wantin straight hair. Some of y’all need to get a damn life.
I watched this video because I was genuinely curious how dreadlocks were done. Interesting. The style is not for me, but I was still curious about it. Kinda cool I suppose.
This is how locs are done for straight hair. Black people merely twist or palm roll if anything. All this ripping, backcombing and using tools is a sign that it's not ideal for straight hair.
It takes a lot of time in the beginning. You gotta be patient twisting each strand you want dreaded everyday. It's high maintenance in the beginning but looks amazing once you got dreads really taking that nice shape.
Love your videos. I have (secretly lol) been interested in learning to do dreads for a long time. My son introduced me to your channel, and I was so happy to find it informative and entertaining. And for a 77 yr old grandmother, that means a lot! Thank you for sharing...
This is something new to me. I'm African American and have never seen locks done like this before. Because of the texture of our hair, all of this (rubber bands, crochet hooks) is not necessary. Our hair locks naturally as long as it's not combed. I've got nothing against people of other races locking their hair. This method is jus strange to me.
+Kimberly Griffith This method she used does seem like a lot of work. I'm Caucasian and I did just plain old twist and rip with mine. I didn't use anything but my hands. Caucasian hair can also be neglected and it will dread on its own, but it takes more time than African American hair, I'm sure! P.S. Thank you for your support with other races locking their hair. Much love. :-)
African hair is not neglected. The difference is genetics, black hair is simply shaped differently than white hair, the hair is a spiral, not straight. European hair is not meant to twist or lock because it can't naturally hold itself or retain shape, you have to let your hair literally collect oil and dirt just to get it to turn into a dread. Africans don't have to do that because of coarse the hair is, black hair has more retention strength than white hair, which basically has none. ;)
I’m not usually a fan of dreadlocks (just personal preference) but I really like how small yours are a LOT better than the really thick ones. They actually suit you quite well!
Why would white people do this, other than to get a stoner look or prepare for a woke riot? Seems like a ridiculous amount of effort for creating a grungy mess.
black hair is much easier to dread... get some gel.. part hair.. twist tight... clamp down.. let dry... boom dreads... I think white people should try the back combing techniques... comb parted hair backwards starting from roots... until the end... after that simply palm roll the dread... I see a load of racist comments... 😂 but I'm black and I've had dreads for 4 years.. I honestly don't give a shit who gets them... go for it! 😉 #Rastafari #FlyLifestyle
Thank you, honestly it's nice to know that there are people out there who genuinely see that hair is hair and a way of expression and individuality, we shouldn't label hair and clothing to specific races no matter if its harder to achieve for white people, do what you want, your body is yours and you have the right to do as you wish with it
Jonnie Allmond if you're black you dont have to put anything in your hair. if you have a little fro or growth you should know when you dont brush it for even a week it dreads up. separate them a little so they dont congo and just dont brush. in month they look legit. not mature but they have they they look everyone seems to want so bad.
Yoo that lady is a big hippy lmao. She got good vibes I dig her attitude and happiness, another reason why I will get dread locks on me. Stay blessed guys, stay happy.
Stella Fawkes Yes, because someone should definitely have to cut off the months-years they’ve spent growing their hair just because a tutorial gave them bad information. Makes total sense.
It’s really painful when u get years worth of hair I hate when ppl say “oh, it’ll grow back it’s just hair!” I don’t get it by without my hair I don’t feel like myself anymore
@@pelorosaculogordo2890 No offense to you at all and call me naive but isn't this the probably most common stereotype about dreadlocks anyways? That it is damaging your hair? I think most people rather know that it's taking away their soft hair (people call it destroying it) than they know how to make some dreadlocks. I don't see anything bad about this video at all! It's about how to make dreads and there are other videos out there which talk about the risks :)
I did the rip and knot method (with actual bow knots) and it took me an hour on one single dread. Really happy to have learned about using the crochet needle! This changes everything!
I admire the commitment you guys have to make just to start. I simply started with two stand twists which is far less challenging then this method! Kudos!
All you who are freaking out above "cultural appropriation"... I wonder how many of you straighten your hair, dye it blonde, or wear a weave? What's the difference? Mohawk haircuts come from the Mohican Indians. I don't see them having a problem with people of all races wearing Mohawks. In the 70s, white people were getting perms so they could have afros, and nobody squawked about it. This generation has gotten so crazy sensitive that everything offends them. It's just someone's fashion choice, and has nothing to do with your culture. Dreads have been around since the beginning of time in all races. Lighten up!
Quiara Shields actually it YOU who doesn’t know! Celts and druids who lived thousands of years ago had dreadlocks for very spiritual reasons, along with the ancient Egyptians. So before you go shootin’ yo mouth off: get your facts straight. 🙂
Wearing weave is NOT cultural appropriation and there are lots of black and coloured people are born with NATURAL blonde hair and blue eyes, so before you comment GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!
Oh jeez..All the negative comments. Let me ask you something: is it your hair? Does this video have any effect towards you? If you answered no to both questions, I suggest you open your mind before your mouth. Hair is hair. People can do whatever they want to it. If they damage it? Lesson learned. If it doesn't suit them? Oh well, just start fresh. It's no big deal if a white girl has dreads. Let people live their lives. Don't try to live it for them.

I see a lot of ignorant racists here telling people they are the wrong color/race for dreadlocks. Morons. Loved the video. Been thinking of dreading my mohawk and this was fun and informative! ❤️
I don't think whites are forbidden from getting dreadlocks but I do think it looks trashy, like dirty hippies on them. There's styles of hair that only look good because it was created with a certain race in mind.
A&A friends4life yeah, it's because it's meant for very curly hair that you can't maintain, so you make it into dreads and forget about it. both curly and straight hair will be ruined after that.
+pastichka I had dreads for 6 years and I recently took them out and my hair is just as healthy as when I started its longer and thicker idk about this method or white people but for black people it is a protective style
MicKayla Smart I saw a "watch me how I comb out my hair" video or something like that (the girl was with long Caucasian hair), and she just brushed the locks so brutally, pulling and such, her hair was completely ruined by the time she finished combing. So I guess it does depend on the way you brush it, and the type of hair - I'm absolutely sure curly hair needs a little less kneading to look good, whereas straight hair needs a lot of twisting and such.
I don’t even have long hair anymore, and this is making me wish I had it back. I also wish I knew about this when I was younger, it would have been great 😂 my hair was a rats nest anyways back then.
People who has never experienced locs, just need to all together be quiet. Nice video wild soul's. This channel was recommended by another wild soul, so here am to see your method while have a few moments. 😊
My hair is naturally curly, dry, frizzy, and gets tangled easily.. its a pain in my ass tryna get it under control, so i figured, if my hairs gonna be knotted and frizzy, why not have dreads? Lol.. im totally thinking about it!
I've waited a year and done tons of research and I'm finally going to do this! My hair naturally mats& creates mini dreads over night anyway so I may as well go with it 🤗 totally using your way and advice. Thanks for posting ✌
Honestly, when I wake up in the morning, my hair needs to be detangled in a way I feel I should be better off with dreads. In Europe, the Celts use to have dreads too. I have Celtic genes, so maybe this is why my brush hurts so much in the morning and my hairs breaks from trying to detangle it. I know the crochet hook is used by my white dreadlocked friends, while my black friends have a diffent way. Only my Asian friends cannot pull it off so far.
I’m in the same boat. Just started my 3rd set since 2008. My hair wants to knot badly. I’ve got the Celt blood as well. Every time I grow out my hair long, I end up dreading. I’ve got some spiral curls when long so I may try to keep those. Cheers!
@@S5S5066 While they traditionally have dreadlocks celts did lock their hair called fairy or elf locks. There are records of Celts having this hair since the Roman era.
+Dennis M ok next time tagg me and nobody was talkn about here nothing wrong wit her hair i said the comment was crazy cause she said her hair look lik grinch fingers ..talking about a black girl talkin about her u must be a white prejudice man behind a computer smh lol
I'm seriously dead at these comments why is everyone so hateful like damn can't we just have peace why do people have to complain about others actions that effect them in no way 🙄 jeez it's called peace practice it and your life will be so much happier 🕉
I don't know how I came across this video lol, but the comments are rude for no reason. If someone wants to do something with their hair then they can, well because ITS THEIRS. I honestly don't care if someone of a different race wants to do this with their hair, because after all, a good amount of us wear weaves and such so I don't see what the big deal is. This whole thing is just unnecessary.
Jai Dená I know how I came across this video On my recommended it showed "taking out my dreadlocks" at that point I didn't even know what dreadlocks are (also I don't even look up hair tutorials so I don't know why that was on my recommended)then I scrolled down and it showed me this But these comments are rude
Thankyou. So many cunts on here going dreads are for black people, its a culture thing, white people shouldn't have dreads honestly it makes me skeptical about getting them aha.
This is where dreadlocks come from: "Some of the earliest depictions of dreadlocks date back as far as 3600 years to the Minoan Civilization, one of Europe's earliest civilizations centred in Crete (modern Greece)." ~wiki. Look it up. Don't claim your culture as the owners of this hairstyle, unless your ancestors go back to modern Greece.
I'm seriously considering starting on my loc journey. I'm 50 years old though. I have already heard I'm too old but I don't feel my age and I've always loved them. I will probably do it!!
fun fact. Dreads are basically the natural state of any long hair. Regardless who wears it. If you don't comb or brush your long hair for a good while, it'll eventually bake itself in with other sections of hair and TADAA Dreads. Now, im a guy with really long hair and have experienced it somewhat. During my time on the family's sailing boat. I never brushed or combed and it basically made into something closely resembling dreads (I of course took care of that as soon as I went home). Now I don't really have any plans on getting dreadlocks myself, but I sure was curious to see how others did it.
I got my hair professionally dreaded and then brushed it out a few weeks later, my hair is just as soft and smooth as it was before, dreads just didn’t look good on me
People with dreads ( which I’m one) wash their dreads!!!! My husband tells me all the time my dreads smell good, never once has anyone told me that they stink!!!!
Dreadlocks originated in India. Also the Vikings rocked some pretty impressive dreads way way back in the day.. yes in there ginger/blond/or brown 'white man' hair.
@Micadus that is not true bro, they were from scandinavia, back in them days a completely white race, so any viking born child would be white however they may have had kids with non-white slaves, yes, however that kid would be brought up a slave not a viking
I really love this video! I don't get it why some people here get triggered because this beautifull girl Will have beautifull hair, we are all one, all humans on this planet, so Let everyone do what they want :) Lets Keep it peacefull love to all of you ❤
Dreads are from Shiva and represent the lock of life essence and much more Also I read a Hindu indentured servant went to Jamaica and showed them the dreadlocks also called Jata and showed them the Ganja Then it got famous with Bob Marley Har Har Mahadev Quetzalcoatl
You teaching is great. Thanks for this. Half of family is white half is black and I do dreads. Only my own hair is harder to do then my black side of the familys hair. I like this method alot.
Right? If this video comes up in recommended you're probably watching lock videos, if locks don't vibe with you then why watch a video to comment negative things? Or why specifically search for videos to spew hate on. Ill never understand society or the online culture of "must shit on everything... Everyone must know I am full of ignorance and no confidence" like the over compensation in these comments is just insane.
I've had dreads for four years. Had my hair grow out for 3 prior. 7 years total of hair growth then shaved it all off. I'm now 4 years later into my hair growth and I've just decided now to get back into locks. It's a lond and tedious process when doing it by yourself man, but they looked good the first time and I didn't section or use a mirror or anything. Now It's different and I'm reasy 4 it!
Laughing at all the comments. Can I just close the debate by saying that dreadlocks happen naturally when you don't brush your hair and don't cut your hair. Any type of hair. Even animals with long hair have dreadlocks like yacks and donkeys. I honestly think we should pay some respect to donkeys and stop appropriating their culture.
@Rudy Jean Yeah, I don't aprove that black people have been criticized for wearing locks either. That was stupid and disrespectful. But what is also stupid is black people saying other people have no right to wear locks.
Noooo thank you! I cringed when she was “ripping” her hair, then tangling and fraying it into a dull mess. It looks cool on some people, but I’d never do that to my healthy hair.
It doesn't make your hair that unhealthy. Idk why everyone blows it so far out of proportion. And besides it's a dread, it's ofc not gonna be perfectly healthy hair, it's literally a clump of knotted hair mixxdd with dead hair
guys dreadlocks aren't black culture Irish had it, the Indians have it infact shiva an indian god wears dreadlocks, the native Americans have it ,the Mongolians and even many indigenous tribes all around the world have it in their culture.
Dreadlocks started in Egypt! The longer the dread the higher power your are. Pictures are carved in the stones of the long Dreads. Also, very spiritual!! Look it up! I agree! It doesn't matter who you are whatever planet your from.. if you want Dreadlocks get them! Shaved head do it!! No body should judge anyone! Stand in your truth !

+Dennis M Just like black women are ridiculed for their natural hairstyles? Like black women are ridiculed for wearing afros and having to change their natural hair to something straighter so it could be fit for the workplace? Like the Black girls that aren't allowed to wear their natural hairstyles like corn rows, afros and dreads to school but Becky with the good hair can? Like all the black women have been rocking natural hairstyles since forever and a day and have been ridiculed but when Becky wears black women's hairstyles it's considered edgy right?

What if you got dreads,but then the next day you decide you don't like it then your like, "Shit! Now I have to spend 3-4 hours brushing them out! Why??"
Hey I just want to say I really appreciate your video. I thought I could find someone to work on my hair and do dreadlocks, but I got some bad responses, so I’m going to do it myself. I kind of know a little about them and have had a few before from simply not brushing my hair, but I kind of wanted to make them look nicer, like not so fuzzy or a bunch of knots in my hair, so thanks. You did a great job in explaining how to make them look nice.
Yeah, I do crocheting, knitting and latch hook... that's not a crochet hook, it's a latch hook. (Also there is no such thing as a crochet needle, knitting uses needles, crochet uses hooks)
+Staysea Lauren I also make dreadlocks and I find it amusing how she doesn't know the actual name for that tool. Usually a latch hook is used to pull back in large amounts of hair in maintenance. It would take far less time to use an ACTUAL crochet hook.
This isn't the right way to do dreads.This woman doesn't know what she's doing and she just did a whole lot of unnecessary damage to this girl's hair. These so called "dreads" don't even look right
+Jay I also noticed the amount of damage she did to her hair, but there are different types of dread locks and this is one of the ways that a lot of people do them.
This is a thing called insta-dreads. Out of expirence people with thin, straight hair have to do a different method than a person with kinky, curly, thick hair. This method helps the hair not to slip against itself and come loose. This method is very damaging, using the hook expecially two months in if you continue you to corchet it causes breakage in the core of the dread and down the road some dreads could fall out.

I don't think whites are forbidden from getting dreadlocks but I do think it looks trashy, like dirty hippies on them. There's styles of hair that only look good because it was created with a certain race in mind.
@@thereturnofmr.tickles7981 you can think that, but it’s untrue. No race was in mind. Dreadlocks aren’t a race thing
@@ogrehaslayers605 yeah sure a white chick with an afro doesn't look goofy at all. Lmao
@@thereturnofmr.tickles7981 you’ve never seen white people with curly hair??? 😳
@@ogrehaslayers605 dreads are different than curls. Nice try.
i can smell the weed coming through this video LMAOOO
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣♥️👍🏼
Lmao you ain’t kidding..
Hahaha first thing I thought she is way too happy
You have 420 likes that's just too perfect.
wtf?
Then you decide to brush them off eventually and end up with a ruined, thin hair with half the volume it had before.
same thing happened to raw alingment
That's because its not meant for thin(Caucasian) hair
A&A friends4life yeah, it's because it's meant for very curly hair that you can't maintain, so you make it into dreads and forget about it. both curly and straight hair will be ruined after that.
+pastichka I had dreads for 6 years and I recently took them out and my hair is just as healthy as when I started its longer and thicker idk about this method or white people but for black people it is a protective style
MicKayla Smart I saw a "watch me how I comb out my hair" video or something like that (the girl was with long Caucasian hair), and she just brushed the locks so brutally, pulling and such, her hair was completely ruined by the time she finished combing. So I guess it does depend on the way you brush it, and the type of hair - I'm absolutely sure curly hair needs a little less kneading to look good, whereas straight hair needs a lot of twisting and such.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My brothers friend was willing to pay me 10 dollars to deread his hair and I had no idea how! But now I know! Thank you
That's technically a latch hook not a crochet hook as you stated!
That's what i was thinking
Mzdiana you're correct! And we now have a free hook offer! dreadlockhook.com
Very timely response!.. It only took you a year 🧐
I don’t even have long hair anymore, and this is making me wish I had it back. I also wish I knew about this when I was younger, it would have been great 😂 my hair was a rats nest anyways back then.
People who has never experienced locs, just need to all together be quiet. Nice video wild soul's. This channel was recommended by another wild soul, so here am to see your method while have a few moments. 😊
My hair is naturally curly, dry, frizzy, and gets tangled easily.. its a pain in my ass tryna get it under control, so i figured, if my hairs gonna be knotted and frizzy, why not have dreads? Lol.. im totally thinking about it!
Same here. Do it, i am too 🙏
if you arent black dont
@@thiswasmelodrama any race is allowed to get dreads 🙄
Don’t do that method if you have curly hair try a different method
I've waited a year and done tons of research and I'm finally going to do this! My hair naturally mats& creates mini dreads over night anyway so I may as well go with it 🤗 totally using your way and advice. Thanks for posting ✌
How did it turn out?
Honestly, when I wake up in the morning, my hair needs to be detangled in a way I feel I should be better off with dreads. In Europe, the Celts use to have dreads too. I have Celtic genes, so maybe this is why my brush hurts so much in the morning and my hairs breaks from trying to detangle it. I know the crochet hook is used by my white dreadlocked friends, while my black friends have a diffent way. Only my Asian friends cannot pull it off so far.
I’m in the same boat. Just started my 3rd set since 2008. My hair wants to knot badly. I’ve got the Celt blood as well. Every time I grow out my hair long, I end up dreading. I’ve got some spiral curls when long so I may try to keep those. Cheers!
No the only cultures that traditionally have dread locks are ones from Africa
@@S5S5066 While they traditionally have dreadlocks celts did lock their hair called fairy or elf locks. There are records of Celts having this hair since the Roman era.
I usually don't like dreadlocks, but the hairdresser looks pretty.
+Raelea Franklin Thank you so much for saying that! I love when people are nice.
I watched this back in middle school yearning for dreads. Now I’m in college and I’m about to dread my hair tomorrow.
Quick question
Do you have to make dreadlocks??
Roz Briggs 69th like
Elitheguy Elitheguy sorry I messed it up 70th like
Munchy but dreads are not mats
Roz Briggs ofc u haave to if u smoke weed
Selsley01 if you use your method how would you go about removing the dreadlocks do you have to cut them out?
hi there! I am the grinch! i was wondering, can I have my fingers back? its really hard to type
Woooow. I was really wondering when someone would make a comment like that......
+Wired And Stoned banter mate chill
+Wired And Stoned many say white ppl dreads look lik grinch fingers ppl are crazy
+Dennis M who are u talking to?...
+Dennis M ok next time tagg me and nobody was talkn about here nothing wrong wit her hair i said the comment was crazy cause she said her hair look lik grinch fingers ..talking about a black girl talkin about her u must be a white prejudice man behind a computer smh lol
Nice Locs!!!! I started mine on August 11th and its one of the best decisions I've made!
I really like the size of your locks. I'm doing a half neglect, half controlled. So I plan to work it for months and let it form over time.
I'm seriously dead at these comments why is everyone so hateful like damn can't we just have peace why do people have to complain about others actions that effect them in no way 🙄 jeez it's called peace practice it and your life will be so much happier 🕉
Really though!
Its the 21st century
I don't know how I came across this video lol, but the comments are rude for no reason. If someone wants to do something with their hair then they can, well because ITS THEIRS. I honestly don't care if someone of a different race wants to do this with their hair, because after all, a good amount of us wear weaves and such so I don't see what the big deal is. This whole thing is just unnecessary.
Jai Dená I know how I came across this video
On my recommended it showed "taking out my dreadlocks" at that point I didn't even know what dreadlocks are (also I don't even look up hair tutorials so I don't know why that was on my recommended)then I scrolled down and it showed me this
But these comments are rude
Amen to that
half of them are racist, the other half are rude because this is a horrible idea that will ruin your hair.
Thankyou. So many cunts on here going dreads are for black people, its a culture thing, white people shouldn't have dreads honestly it makes me skeptical about getting them aha.
Jai Dená
Thank you for this amazing comment, you just restored my faith in humanity a little bit 💚💚
I love the way they look. Then I see the process, and it’s like oh no, no one is doing that to my hair
Searched this up. I was so curious to know how they are made after watching many dreadlock removal and cleaning videos.
Love this! I never even thought to use a latch hook over a regular crochet hook. You've probably saved me hundreds of hours on maintenance :)
This is where dreadlocks come from: "Some of the earliest depictions of dreadlocks date back as far as 3600 years to the Minoan Civilization, one of Europe's earliest civilizations centred in Crete (modern Greece)." ~wiki. Look it up. Don't claim your culture as the owners of this hairstyle, unless your ancestors go back to modern Greece.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bitch the oldest for dreads is from Hinduism
The 'crochet hook' is actually called a 'latch hook' and it's also available at craft stores.
I'm seriously considering starting on my loc journey. I'm 50 years old though. I have already heard I'm too old but I don't feel my age and I've always loved them.
I will probably do it!!
You're never to old to be you😚
Love your videos , Love you
fun fact. Dreads are basically the natural state of any long hair. Regardless who wears it. If you don't comb or brush your long hair for a good while, it'll eventually bake itself in with other sections of hair and TADAA Dreads. Now, im a guy with really long hair and have experienced it somewhat. During my time on the family's sailing boat. I never brushed or combed and it basically made into something closely resembling dreads (I of course took care of that as soon as I went home). Now I don't really have any plans on getting dreadlocks myself, but I sure was curious to see how others did it.
I am exactly the same as you bro.
If you are a black person with naturally curly or wavy hair, do not use this technique!! 🙅🏾♀️
What if your white with curly hair lmfao
itz.isabella24 pffttt white people dont have curly hair clearly only black people
a jamless stray kids enthusiast. I'm white with 3b-3c hair and my sister is white with 4a hair..
itz.isabella24 i was being sarcastic.. im also white and i have 3b hair, pls take a joke
a jamless stray kids enthusiast Bruh I'm such a idiot. For a sec I thought you were being sarcastic but I'm just like nahh
Thank you for this video.. I been spiritually lead to dread my hair. An this helped out a lot. Have an blessed day 💟💟💟
I am from Australia and my daughter has just got dreds........Love your style girls and soooo informative and helpful!! thanks a heap
this girl sitting is sooooo pretty
hey wired and stoned !!! thanks for teaching me how to dread
I shaved my hair completely off summer 2020 just so I could say I've shaved my head so now I will put dreads in
That other girls hair looked so healthy now she ruined it
Milk And cookies The girl wanted her hair dreaded. Not her fault.
Nesi Lacka like alexander hamilton ruined his healthy relationship with eliza
Nesi Lacka Don't worry...all she gotta do is brush them out and her hair will turn back to normal
XxJessica CharlesxX well not exactly it’ll be more corse
I got my hair professionally dreaded and then brushed it out a few weeks later, my hair is just as soft and smooth as it was before, dreads just didn’t look good on me
I wonder what the hair smells like after a few months
you do know that the majority of people who have dreads wash them, right?
You still wash them dude
well, i can tell you that the hair smells the exact same with dreads as id did before
People with dreads ( which I’m one) wash their dreads!!!! My husband tells me all the time my dreads smell good, never once has anyone told me that they stink!!!!
Like whatever shampoo she uses
Dreadlocks originated in India.
Also the Vikings rocked some pretty impressive dreads way way back in the day.. yes in there ginger/blond/or brown 'white man' hair.
Dreadlocks came from Sudan,Egypt and east Africa
korinn mcmurtrie you, your mom and grand mom are all crazy
@korinn mcmurtrie vikings did not have dreads. They washed and brushed their hair daily, they did braid their hair but never had dreads
Also you do know a good amount of Vikings weren’t white
@Micadus that is not true bro, they were from scandinavia, back in them days a completely white race, so any viking born child would be white however they may have had kids with non-white slaves, yes, however that kid would be brought up a slave not a viking
This is honestly wicked cool 😎 like chaotic braids.
I really love this video! I don't get it why some people here get triggered because this beautifull girl Will have beautifull hair, we are all one, all humans on this planet, so Let everyone do what they want :) Lets Keep it peacefull
love to all of you ❤
Those are not dreadlocks. That's just stringy, matted hair
That's what dreadlocks are 😂😂lmao
I was thinking the same. Just a fancy name for ruining hair.
+lizzy forshee no they're not 😑
+lizzy forshee no they aren't
+lizzy forshee exactly
Dreads are from Shiva and represent the lock of life essence and much more
Also I read a Hindu indentured servant went to Jamaica and showed them the dreadlocks also called Jata and showed them the Ganja
Then it got famous with Bob Marley
Har Har Mahadev
Quetzalcoatl
You teaching is great. Thanks for this. Half of family is white half is black and I do dreads. Only my own hair is harder to do then my black side of the familys hair. I like this method alot.
So yeah, 1 minute in and ya done made a subscriber outta me! Girl, your energy is doin all sorts of amazing shit for me right now!! ;)♡
at a loss for words at this comment section.
JHeadley lol
honestly people are so fucking rude
Right? If this video comes up in recommended you're probably watching lock videos, if locks don't vibe with you then why watch a video to comment negative things? Or why specifically search for videos to spew hate on. Ill never understand society or the online culture of "must shit on everything... Everyone must know I am full of ignorance and no confidence" like the over compensation in these comments is just insane.
Both of the girls are beautiful, she is definitely a professional what she does😉
I've had dreads for four years. Had my hair grow out for 3 prior. 7 years total of hair growth then shaved it all off. I'm now 4 years later into my hair growth and I've just decided now to get back into locks. It's a lond and tedious process when doing it by yourself man, but they looked good the first time and I didn't section or use a mirror or anything. Now It's different and I'm reasy 4 it!
Very useful! Can't wait to have mine done 😊
This was the video I used to make my dreads! Thank you you guys are so great! Sending love and light! 😍
Those dreds look nice I'm thinking about dreding mine.
seanviv2 u should
do it man! live life
seanviv2 you better not 😂😂 this shit ugly
Jalyn Nesbitt your just mad cause you can't grow hair
Same
This is probably the best dread video I’ve watched 🙌
Laughing at all the comments.
Can I just close the debate by saying that dreadlocks happen naturally when you don't brush your hair and don't cut your hair. Any type of hair.
Even animals with long hair have dreadlocks like yacks and donkeys.
I honestly think we should pay some respect to donkeys and stop appropriating their culture.
Yes, that is how i got mine! My boyfriend hasnt cut his hair for 7 years, he has a full head of beautiful dreads :D
@Rudy Jean Yeah, I don't aprove that black people have been criticized for wearing locks either. That was stupid and disrespectful. But what is also stupid is black people saying other people have no right to wear locks.
Honestly I think everyone looks absolutely gorgeous with dreadlocks!✌❤
4:08 and 4:09
Who else got the glitch
Yep I saw the green.
Wow! It's elaborate and more neat and tidy than the last video I watched about the way of making dreadlocks .But I won't try this style😂
Noooo thank you! I cringed when she was “ripping” her hair, then tangling and fraying it into a dull mess. It looks cool on some people, but I’d never do that to my healthy hair.
It doesn't make your hair that unhealthy. Idk why everyone blows it so far out of proportion. And besides it's a dread, it's ofc not gonna be perfectly healthy hair, it's literally a clump of knotted hair mixxdd with dead hair
What do you think about making one small dreadlock? I'm thinking about doing one small dreadlock in the back.
No one asked
So true, it's like how to kill your hair.
@Jessica Erhard Thanks
these arm pit hair diserve some dreds aswell👌...
+DramaticVideo FilmMaker I've thought the same thing :)
Somehow I have never felt whiter than I ever have before
huh?
guys dreadlocks aren't black culture
Irish had it, the Indians have it infact shiva an indian god wears dreadlocks, the native Americans have it ,the Mongolians and even many indigenous tribes all around the world have it in their culture.
God Level dreading. Nice one, exactly what I was looking for 👊
Dreadlocks started in Egypt! The longer the dread the higher power your are. Pictures are carved in the stones of the long Dreads. Also, very spiritual!! Look it up!
I agree! It doesn't matter who you are whatever planet your from.. if you want Dreadlocks get them! Shaved head do it!! No body should judge anyone! Stand in your truth ! Be the best version of yourselve ❤️ we are all One!
Dreadlocks started in Africa, it was the original look for the black man prehistoric times because it would naturally knot up, Egyptians today can’t even dread their hair if they tried 🤣
I’ll promise you nobody would care about dreads if it wasn’t for the Rasta movement, people started to copy Jamaicans in the 70s
@@GhostFace6661 vikings and greeks and egyptians wore dreadlocks too. black people dont own everything and white people arent copying everything. stay pressed but its gonna fuck up your mental health in the long term

Like black women are ridiculed for wearing afros and having to change their natural hair to something straighter so it could be fit for the workplace? Like the Black girls that aren't allowed to wear their natural hairstyles like corn rows, afros and dreads to school but Becky with the good hair can? Like all the black women have been rocking natural hairstyles since forever and a day and have been ridiculed but when Becky wears black women's hairstyles it's considered edgy right?

Izzy vlogs well then... that is your journey this time! 😥
Wired And Stoned I thought that would make you laugh
Hey I just want to say I really appreciate your video. I thought I could find someone to work on my hair and do dreadlocks, but I got some bad responses, so I’m going to do it myself. I kind of know a little about them and have had a few before from simply not brushing my hair, but I kind of wanted to make them look nicer, like not so fuzzy or a bunch of knots in my hair, so thanks. You did a great job in explaining how to make them look nice.
That isn't a crochet needle. It's a latch hook :)
That's what I thought to:)
Yeah, I do crocheting, knitting and latch hook... that's not a crochet hook, it's a latch hook. (Also there is no such thing as a crochet needle, knitting uses needles, crochet uses hooks)
And the "pokey end comb" is called a chemical comb 😅😅
+Staysea Lauren I also make dreadlocks and I find it amusing how she doesn't know the actual name for that tool. Usually a latch hook is used to pull back in large amounts of hair in maintenance. It would take far less time to use an ACTUAL crochet hook.
I was cringing so hard when she was "ripping" her hair
Ikr! I have curly hair and i can’t imagine doing it on mine. A mess
And when I did twist and rip my hair ended up unraveling
Thank you for making this video. I was totally clueless how to do this and now I know.

I prefer thin dread locks as opposed to big dirty-looking dread locks.
+Lola Grey just my opinion sweetie :)
No locks would be better no matter who has them they always look nasty and unclean

You can also find those hook sticks with closing pins in fishing stores, used for carp fishing
This isn't the right way to do dreads.This woman doesn't know what she's doing and she just did a whole lot of unnecessary damage to this girl's hair. These so called "dreads" don't even look right
Nigga she stoned chill
+Jay I also noticed the amount of damage she did to her hair, but there are different types of dread locks and this is one of the ways that a lot of people do them.
They are just too thin. XD chill out
That's a matter of opinion, not everyone is going to do their dreads the same way. That would just be weird lol
This is a thing called insta-dreads. Out of expirence people with thin, straight hair have to do a different method than a person with kinky, curly, thick hair. This method helps the hair not to slip against itself and come loose. This method is very damaging, using the hook expecially two months in if you continue you to corchet it causes breakage in the core of the dread and down the road some dreads could fall out.
