- Hellooooo! I'm back!
To get back into things, I thought I'd share some mistakes I've made with my partial dreadlocks (or elf locks/fairy knots/ect.) in hopes that you won't make the same ones!
Thanks so much for watching! Let me know what else you'd like to see from me!
Much love :)

Sorry about the quality of this one! It gets a tad better around a minute in, so hold tight haha. I'm getting a better camera soon!
So wonderful to see you back. Your dreads look absolutely amazing. What a difference a year makes!!!
@Bottletree Farm thank you so much! I'm glad to be back!
It's time for another video ❤
Cool tips, I just started my dreadlock journey so your experience is really helpful :)
My partial dreads are only 2 days old, I did them myself, and sectioned them myself, but I like that style, it looks more natural then making all the sections boxy ! Your dreads look great!
Thank you so much! 😊
So happy you did this video! I've had one dreadlock for 3 years and i have the same issue with it being thinner at the root and i didn't know why and it's totally because i'm accidentally pulling hair out of the dreadlock and not really realizing it. So thank you for mentioning that! Your dreadlocks are looking amazing and cant wait for my new ones to mature. I just recently added about 10 dreadlocks and messed up, they're too thin and not staying dreaded especially at the root. Gonna be brushing them out and restarting, so wish me luck! -Jamee
Thank you!! I wish mine were thinner haha! But I guess I'd rather have them thick enough to stay attached through my anxious pulling 😂😄
Thank u very much for sharing. I’ve been growing partial dreads for 2 months😁and I started to wash my hair separately: normal hair every day and dreads every three days…a shower cap helps a lot🤣
Awesome! I wash my normal hair every 3 or 4 days and my dreads like once a week 😂 have fun on your journey!
My biggest roaches have been
So happy to see you back on RUclips!!! Glad you’ve had a wonderful year!! 🙌🏼
Thank you!!!
Great tips girl! I liked the video! I too have a channel with oodles of Dreadlocks/partial dreads content. Thank you for sharing. Mine are also over 3 years old and I can relate to a good bit of these memos. Great advice given ❤😊
Awh awesome! I'll check your channel out! Also thank you! :)
@@Rooskitooski you bet! You should keep your videos coming out more on some new updates! You have a good amount of subscribers and I'm sure others want to see more too 😁 You have such a pretty face and kind personality. ❤
@@HippieHousewife you are too sweet!! Thank you
@@Rooskitooski it will all work out soon 😊✌🕉 Good luck with everything!
It took me forever to get my partials right! I have just 3 right now at the bottom row and I have no issues with having to separate, idk why maybe it’s my hair texture? Glad to how yours have matured, I would definitely separate those big ones into 4, they look amazing tho!
I just brushed one out a few weeks back and plan on brushing the other big one out and filming a video on it! I'm not sure if there's enough for 4 but hopefully! Thank you!
Love the video, so honest of you, and some great info,
Do not pull out the loose hair, as when the hair grows some falls out naturally, and this is what stays in the dread, and helps the dread grow, when you dread, you do not loose hair.
Twist your dreads, if you want them to be thinner, twisting them regular, will keep them thinner, and looking more manicured, only wash the roots in water only, if you do not use any products, and try to stay away from conditioner it wlll leave residue and can cause build up and mold.
You do not look ready to have locs .......it is a journey, and your hair becomes your roots, like the roots of a tree, it is not just for fashion. but it is for your soul. You seem to be embarrassed about your locs, so maybe now is not the time for you.
Thank you for the tips, although that isn't anything I already know. I've had them for around 3 years now, I think I'm ready 😊
Thinking of starting my dread journey and putting a few in but my hairs only about 4/5 inches long so don’t know how that would work plus I’m currently growing out my undercut too. Awwww love your ratties. I’ve had rats for years, they’re amazing aren’t they!💕🐭
Yes so smart and loving!! I hope you can start your journey soon 💕
Witch Wild Child if you want to start and do extensions you can always remove them later as your own natural dreads grow out.
Do u still have ur dreads? If so could u do an update and a wash routine video? I'm wondering how often to wash dreads and how often to was loose hair and maybe I could shampoo and conditioner my loose hair upside down at the sink not wetting my dreads ever 3-4days
I do, yes! I've been having some financial trouble and I don't have a device that takes clear video right now, but once I do, that is the first thing I'm going to record! Thank you for your recommendation! Also, I wash and condition my loose hair upside down in the shower, but it's hard to not get the locks wet so invest in a nice hair dryer! :)
Hi there! Your dreads are amazing!
I started my partial dreads today and yours look so similar to mine! I also sectioned and made them myself. I got 7 of them.
I got a question though. I started mine out pretty thick already, because I didn’t want super thin dreads. How much bigger do they get over some months/years?
I also crochet them alot, so I hope I didn’t damaged them too much. How often to you maintain the roots?
Thank you for the video! I loved it.
Keep it up!
A good rule of thumb is that they will double in thickness and shrink to half the length, so mine probably more than doubled in thickness. Also, crocheting can be very damaging so do it sparingly! Just let them do their thing and palm roll a lot! :) don't worry if they look a little messy at first. It took mine almost 2 years to fully mature.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I guess I will live with super thick dreads then! Maybe some day I will make a video about it too.
Yours are amazing and I love your videos. Have a great week 💜
Thank you so much for watching!!
Hi Sweetie!'
Yesterday I decided that I wanted to try having dreads but only the lower part of the hair. I know nothing so I´m educating myself right now by watching videos on youtube. It´s much harder than I thought so I´m really nervous. You are such a beautiful girl and I think that it is really good to hear about what you should think about so mistakes can be avoided.
But Reanna , there is something I have to ask you. Do you have a blowdryer now or do you need one? I have more than one and I would love to send one to you so you don´t have to walk around with wet hair all day.
My name is Veronika and I´m from Sweden.
I would love a video where it is slowly, slowly showed have you take a dread and make sure that the you can see fully how you attach it to your hair.
Thank You for a very good video. I want to see more!!
Veronika
Thank you for your very kind offer and suggestion!! I still haven't gotten a hair dryer haha! But I really should just pick one up because I don't think they're too expensive. I'm saving up for a better camera still, but once I get it that will be the first video I make!
Question!
You mentioned an oil conditioner for your dreadlocks. What do you use? How much do you use? How often? I thought conditioner caused build up. Yours look so soft.
Meggie Thank you for asking! I use a Dolly Locks conditioning oil and it’s just a few drops that you rub onto your palms and roll in your hair. It’s made with coconut, avocado, jojoba, and hempseed oil and I do it super rarely, so I honestly think they stay pretty soft because I’m sure my undreaded hair gets a small amount of shampoo/conditioner on them no matter how hard I try to keep them separated! Haha when I brushed one of my bigger ones out (which I plan on doing an update video on soon) I had a little bit of buildup and fuzz in there, but it wasn’t too bad! A good baking soda type soak every once in a while should keep it under control. Hope that helps!
@@Rooskitooski also how to you wear your hair at night? Do you leave it all together or do you put your "normal" hair in a pony and leave the dreadlocks down/separated?
Meggie I just leave it all down! :) it stays pretty tangle-free and putting my hair up always gives me a head ache.
How often do you get them maintained professionally?
I used to go about once a year but I’ll admit, it’s been a while 😬 haha!
You look so gorgeous 😍
I feel like I need a deep clean because I got a lot of dandruff the first 4 months- what did you use?
I just found a recipe online! Baking soda, warm water, essential oils, and an apple cider vinegar rinse!
Awesome thanks!! I bought a mix on Etsy and got it weeks ago, but I am sooo Leary about what I put in my hair😬 I’ll have to do a google search and hopefully find it. And I’ll be careful with the baking soda😄
What did you use for a deep clean? ACV?
Laura Gonzales I did a baking soda, water, and essential oil mixture to soak, and then rinsed with ACV! :)
Love your bearded dragon an your cute lol
What was the cleanse u did
It was one I found online with baking soda and essential oils followed by an apple cider vinegar rinse and I *think* I used too much baking soda the first time... the second time I did it it worked amazingly! Lol
Lady you gotta get rid of that grocery store shampoo and conditioner and half those problems will be solved!!!
I don’t use them on my locks, just the loose hair! But I agree, I’m still on the lookout for some good products that aren’t full of toxins!
I can't hear you!!! Hope your other videos are at the proper volume. I can't even watch it.
Sorry to hear that! It’s hard to tell how how loud the audio is when I’m editing with headphones in; I should have definitely turned it up!
