I'm freeforming and I wish knew that people love to express their (negative) opinions on your journey, even if you are comfortable with your appearance. This journey is not for the weak
Yesss sister!!! Especially as a woman! But we good! We beautiful with the simplicity ✨️
Definitely not for the weak
After 20 years of wearing locs I cut them and rocked a fro for a few years. Now I'm growing freeform locs and your videos are so helpful. Thanks Domi for sharing so much of your journey.
Homie I needed this again man . I’m working on my second crown . This time I’m on personal journey with this crown. Man be blessed king and you have no idea how many people you touch and inspire
Right back at you brother. 2nd time is the charm ✊🏾 good luck this time around. Wishing you many of blessings this new year
Hello Domi!!!
Your crown is amazingly beautiful!!!
I have just began my lock journey about 9 months ago. I've grown to love my lock journey more each day. I keep in mind a phrase from another RUclipsr " the digital loctician"
My hair keeps me from places where I shouldn't be.
Hold your head up high because being authentically you is beautiful.
I appreciate you for your advice, inspiration , humor and good vibes. Peace and blessings King.
Man you motivate me to stay patient with my new crown I’m in my second month wit my baby free formies and I like where I’m at I have Congos forming already and seeing your progress helps me deal with my own
Always good to see you back 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm 8 months in my freeform and Dom I am grateful for this video to keep me going . Bless king 🙏🏾
Domi never disappoints, much love bro
1 year freeform got my last haircut about this time last year, started by washing in circular motion in the beginning. Had 360 waves. I remember I did my first couple separations about month 10 cuz the top of my head got thick Congo’s that were webbin together and I felt so bad afterwards 😂 But I’m way more chill bout it now and I’ve been embracing them coming together. I’m 25 and work at a hospital as a tech and I’m actually surprised at how many compliments I get but I feel like people think I’m some sort of exotic ting. Lol white peoples like it and say they wish they hair could do that 🤣
14 months in now on my Freeforms 1st ever journey your vids helped a lot getting started this vid helped also had a few bangs hanging just literally put them up thanks to this advice big up my boi
I'm 2years into my journey but my dreads are nowhere as big and expressive as yours ❤️ love to see it.
babe wake up a new Domi video just dropped 🗣️
Ay fam ya be inspiring me since day one i started my crown🙏🏿🇿🇲
It's crazy how much your sets resemble each tho like I can tell the difference but if they were people they would definitely be siblings lol
Preciate the video. I’m headed to the barbershop tomorrow and then I’ll be starting my freeform journey. I found a shampoo bar soap that has jojoba, coconut, olive, castor oil, tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus oil in it all together. I’m looking forward to growing my new crown. No matter how it turns out I’m going to be ready because I won’t be separating. With my hair type I noticed my locs in the beginning were thick so I separated them but as they matured they tightened up and became really thin. So no separating this time for me!!
Do you mind posting the name of the shampoo bar? Enjoy your journey.
@@jdoe3593 it’s Trader Joe’s peppermint and tea tree shampoo bar. I did a little more research since I posted this comment and I’ve decided to use Dr. Bronners pure castile bar soap instead because of one small ingredient that’s included compared to the other one I just mentioned. They’re both good imo and before I discovered them I was originally using Alaffia african black soap.
Your hair looks so nice bro
Yoooooooo ⛽️🦅 almost been a full 4 months since I’ve started my Freeform journey
Congrats on the almost half year Mark my G! Happy to hear you’re well on the way. I imagine they starting to lock up a bit now ✊🏾
@@DOMIBOY they’re definitely getting there fam, just need a good wash then I’ll be set 🦅
Started in September now 2 and a half months in, I started coz of you man 🔥🔥🔥 you inspired me, but my hairs not been growing tho it looks the same length like it was in September
Your hair is gonna sprout out of nowhere bro. Just keep going it’s cuz all the hair is locking and coiling into itself.
I’ve been journaling my growth from a tapered fade to what I have now at almost 16 months. Maybe it’ll help with understanding, and patience with the hair growth cuz it took almost a year for mine to start locing, and at first it seemed like my hair was at a standstill too. That is until I looked back at my videos, picture and etc. these videos, how to me see what really went on versus what my mind and impatience was telling me. Needless to say… My mind was playing tricks on me. Be patient.
@@cnotsoanonymous9632 yea I made a photo album in my phone and load it with pics of my progress. my hair really took off About month 10 and every time I wash it I find new locs sprouting/forming. Patience is the key fasho
@@cnotsoanonymous9632 sure will man thanks, I took a pic on the day I started and compared to now my locs are longer and sprouting out more, I jus gotta wait and see 🤞🏾
attempting free forms, i have the hair texture ive let me hair do its thing before and it did loc up, but ive watched too much videos, idk if i should twist my hair and let it lock from there? Or start with a sponge? My hair is a lol long about a little past my ear towards my neck , its just curly and shit so idk how to START i know the process but idk where to start sponge or twists? I feel like twists is better for dreads, and sponge better for free forms ? Idk man need ur help
I actually love my locs that are on my face. I don't mind them.
Me too
Lol I have this one as well, I made the mistake of breaking the attachment to the hair that was starting to pull it up, now it's just dangling in my face😂
Been using dr broners peppermint in my hair whenever I wash it, I’m seeing some light blue colors on the tip of my baby locks. Is that normal or am I not diluting enough?
9:25 sometimes I'm in a woodshop and afterwards I always use the shop vacuum on my hair everybody looks at me like I'm crazy or joking but it's the best feeling lol
Lmao😂
do I need taper ? is it a must to protect hairline ?
My goal is to have that original look.
Ya know the mop style, where all your freeforms hang around your head like a mop. lol
I didn't like mine and I cut them off now it's growing a little bit but not enough to be free forms. I wish I didn't restart because I didn't like how they looked.
lmfao as a person with congos i love rocking the super sayon bangs
hi domi, vid bru, i have a question, when do i need to stop washing my hair with the palm rolling technique?
after 2-3 months you should stop
“Watch Out For Tree Branches” 😂😂😂
How many months ?
What would you recommend if u have one big ass dread that you never separated
Let it bee…….. if you are truly free farming, that means no separation. no manipulation. but like he said, you do you! Irie Christmas
I'm almost three months freeform
Fr them tree branches took out my 1st set of free forms 😂
The bangs don’t sound to bad when , you call them “super sayne bangs” lol
I have a question. The side of my head I sleep on is super matted and thin with my freeform locs. How do I prevent this and get it to thicken up?
U find a way?
Are you using a satin pillowcase
Hey I’ve just started freeform dreads and i need to know should you sleep with something on my head?
Yes
you not cappin bout the tree branches lol
Been 8 days
Ayyy early my brother- it’s only up from here. Congrats on the 1st week ✊🏾
@@DOMIBOY thank u king
I’m going to go ahead and share with you my thoughts before even watching your video Brotha. I’ve been on the train for a while now wanting locks’ but haven’t gone with em at all do to my scalp itching-ness and I end up cutting/shaving my hair off every time. But this year im going for it and letting it grow out all year long. I know I won’t have enough length to play with since my hair grows out (Afro style) real sloooow! But screw it im going for it! Now, since im going for 🧽/free form dreads’ I would like to know what I can do to keep my scalp ITCH FREE and CLEAN? I don’t give two fucks about others opinion as long as I’m comfortable with my own. And with that said, I know I can hold off on the washing part, but still would like to know what Shampoo to use for my scalp for good hair to be grown. I would also like to share that I would LOVE to keep em clean at ALL costs and there for be sure I have clean hair. Please share back with me what you can to help out Brotha. Oh and also, I’m barely growing out my hair and it’s at stage 1 for now so I have a long waiting game, but would love to know what I’m looking at if I’m going to stick with it this time around , thanks!!
About if you already have interlock?
Should I cut them and start over?
yo u look like cory lowkey especially in the thumbnail
Got here so early the video only goes to 480p lmao
What I love to hear! 🙏🏾 my G! Appreciate you tuning in!
Same here 😅
Freeform imho means let them be free to do as they wish. NO manipulation……..
If the here is on your forhead its not good cause it covers your 3rd eye.
i know its easier said than done but i think you should embrace your bangs
I’m 6’3 when I was growing mines they told me a spider was in my hair when I was starting my journey i literally went and cut it off then they said there never a spider in my hair 😂
Damn 🤦♂️
@@Ronldbx6 Ik they green asf
Bro wtf you lowkey look like Fredo Santana 😂minus the face tats & traditional locs
Thought the same thing
Fredos are the messiest traditionals tho, like on the verge of freeform, he just separated
I’m working on my first set of freeform second set of dreads tho! I’m loving it so far ! It’s been givin me a whole new level of nonchalantness ! And a journey I’m excited to be on to reach the finish line of a full mature crown 🤴🏾💯💯🙏🏾🦾
I definitely appreciate you reminding the freeform community to stop getting so wrapped up in other people or other people that are freeformings opinion.. everyone journey is their own I’m going on 7 months been rocking with the Congo familia 🦾
