    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.

      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.

    @kim8606 8 лет назад +386

    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.

    • @saltandsriracha
      @saltandsriracha 8 лет назад +71

      +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. :-)

    • @Userkaf_II
      @Userkaf_II 6 лет назад +46

      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. ;)

    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! 😉

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 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.

    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!

What do you think vikings looked like? This is everyone's culture, except maybe Asian, and even then, asian hair dreads quite nicely. This is how hair would form naturally without current cultural constructs, it has very little to do with Caucasians trying to mimic African-Americans

    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.

    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.

      @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

    • @mjolnirragnarson6277
      @mjolnirragnarson6277 5 лет назад +2

      @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'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!!
