![6 different ways to START dreadlocks [with demonstrations🙌🏼]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zvPkC5n8KEI/mqdefault.jpg)
Here I am rewatching this video 3 yrs later... Shaved my dreads, grew hair for a year, now I'm going back in for round 2 of dreadlocks. ❤️ Needed a refresher course lol.
winny and adam awesome!! Excited for you! I’m almost ready to do mine again!
@@WiredAndStoned yay!!! It's been a learning experience being bald, learning self love, facing my own judgements etc. I know u have been thru the same. It was a spiritual lesson! Sending u lots of love.
Haha like wise !
Well it’s me again. On my 3rd set of dreads. I’ve had them a year now. 😍😂
@@winnie2222 that's amazing. 2.5 years ago I brushed out my 8 year old dreadlocks, wanting to embrace my naturally curly hair. I have embraced, and now ready for my second set ❤
Y'all are some of the happiest ppl ever. 😃👊🏻 good energy. High vibes. ⭐️✨💫💚 much gratitude for these vids. I'm starting my dread journey today. ❤️
Luna Chick how's it going? It's been 6 months for me :)
@@anorganizedmess8051 hi it's 'luna chick' (diff name now) so I wore those dreads for about... A year and a half ish. I shaved my head.. grew hair for a year now and I'm restarting dreads again today!! ❤️ Do u still have yours!? I shaved my 1st set off bcus the extension hair was too itchy. It wasn't 100% human. This time I got really good hair for extensions. I send u love & hope u are well. ❤️👊
@@winnie2222 I do still have them, it'll be 3 years next month actually. I added some lock extensions that I crocheted about a year ago and took them off because I didn't like them, they weren't 100% human hair either and I didn't want to make that investment since I didn't like how the fake ones looked any way, I love my natural dreads. anyway good luck to you on your journey!
AMAZING, oh my gosh you don't know how many dreads videos I've watched and how many times I've tried to crochet in extensions and I never realized that I need the kind of crochet hook with the little latch part on it. THANK YOU lol this was perfect.
Brianna Eason you actually don’t need a latch hook a regular small crochet hook will work if you know what you’re doing
You don't need it. also I'm not a fan of how the dread looks like. I love them being tight and clean from the beginning.
No you do not need that crochet hook. I do not use that one and my hair is amazinf
This is the most descriptive video for dread extensions I've found so far. Thanks for making it, really informative!!!
😊
I know youre still going to crochet the dread, but you actuallz get a much knottier, tighter dread in the beginning if you twist and then pull from about the middle of the srand, at her hair length than if you pull at the end. Pulling at the end makes it very fluffy and lose a lot of legth, if you pull higher up you dont lose as much. the extension you put in looked much better than the top.
I am impressed. I like your work. The way you pair them up is similar to what I do. I would love to share some info with you on how I pair up locks. I actually use a crochet hook and not a latch hook. I've used latch hooks in the past but they don't create that nice, nearly fuzz free lock and doesn't work for all hair types. Your use of and ability with the latch hook is advanced for sure. My method was about the same when I switched to crochet. I've experimented with so many brands of crochet hooks and found that Boye seems to be the most efficient in pulling in loose hair and matching up locks. Size ,12, 13 & 14. Instead of Laing them side by side, I actually comb about can inch or 3 of hair from the end of their natural hair and the connecting end of the extension. I split them both in three sections where they meet up and cross them or I guess you can say scissor them. Extensions hair laying on their own lock and their hair laying on the extension lock only in three sections and not just laying side by side. It helps to leave no bumbs where they are joined and also makes it to where you can add extentions to even extremely mature or hard locks. Crochet is a whole different skill but one that you would be able to transition to pretty easily. I tought myself with dolls before I worked on my own then my clients. I have a method for sure and I feel like everyone who does crochet is a little different. I did root flipping and latch hook for too long and I hate that section of dread on my dread journey. They get build up like crazy still. ACV soak is necessary more than twice a year for me only because of the interlocked and latch hooked section. I've maintained my roots with crochet for a year. Took off my starter locks/tips and replaced them with extensions because of the damage and build up ACV soak wouldn't take out so they were getting brittle. Anywhoo.. maybe TMI. Just sharing experience with another Loctician. I hope this helped a little.
I am brand new to dreads and doing my research now. I love how you break it down in creating your own dreads and how to install the extensions.
For a first time would you recommend doing smaller/thinner dreads? And would you do extensions on only a portion of the natural dreads?
She shaved hers off because off lice
SiSTAR You Rock !!! Many Thanks
to you & the camera man!!!!!
✨♥️✨🇺🇸✨♥️✨
I did my own dreads and the front ones turned out ok but the back ones didnt. I love watching your videos on how to tighten and stuff like that because it will help me tremendously! Love your videos! subscribed!
You remind me of piper from orange is the new black lol
NEENEE V I clicked down here to comment that exact thing!! She is so beautiful and I love this woman's personality! Great tutorial ❤
Dude I was just saying who does she look like and my boyfriend said piper!!
true, for a sec i thought she is piper
Right!!!
NEENEE VITOLLO right?! And a little bit mixed with the yoga lady lol
I love how u went so far into detail. My wife had a dude we thought knew what he was doing, but now her locs are breaking.
Thank you so much for this video, I know it's been a while but it still was so valuable to me and my daughters. You have a beautiful presence. God bless
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I DREAD, ALL NATURAL, LOOOVE ITTTT!!!!! Sorry for the caps I was super excited 🤗
I like how you demonstrate and explain your technique. I have afro hair, but I still enjoyed watching this. You guys are fun 😁
I am so happy I found this channel.
^_^
Thank you for being an amzing you! I'm 43, work in a corporate environment for a major financial institution, started this journey 3 weeks ago, and you have helped not only teach/guide me in what to do but also what to expect. My hair is starting to really take and lock. How long would you suggest letting the dread mature before adding extensions? I already starting making them with real hair and using the same technique as I used for my natural hair. My hair was long and is already shrinking, so I feel a bit weird....but thankfully the frizzy pieces are starting to lock, so I don't look like a super crazy person, as much! Thanks for any advice!
B Crouch I would add extensions ASAP! I like to put them I right away, while im doing the dreadlocks!😉 Have you ordered our products yet? You'll need oil and shampoo and spray! 💖
OMG! thank you so much for this video, I'm doing my sister's dreads this weekend and she wants extensions at the same time. I'm so happy I finally found this video. Approximately how many do you need to do a whole head?
How did it go?
They turned out amazing!! Unfortunately, she decided she didn't want them shortly after and cut them off. I hope I got pictures....
Best tutorial for dread extensions!! Thank you sooooo much :)
Thanks! Gonna work on more soon, too!
U look like piper chapmen with dreads
Ally Mix 😂😂😂😂 I thought the same thing!
Great tutorial! I'm trying to learn as much as I can... my 6 yo is wanting dreads soon!
what a cool mom!!! 🎉
This was so fascinating to watch.
Well that's good! Thank you! 😊
So I discussed dreads with my husband and he is all for it! He is actually doing the TnR for me lol. I wish I had seen your sectioning video before he sectioned mine. I haven't done the top or the very back bottome yet. Which I am glad for now because I can fix the sections before we dread them. up!! I'd like to do extensions to add length but I'm struggling with which ones should be extended!!! How do u tell?!?!!?
Your so experienced and know what you’re doing gee I wish you were near me and could do mines 😧
You have fascinating videos and very simple ways of explaining how to do dreadlocks! Could you do another video talking about them and telling how to section and how many of them should we get and what thickness? I've tried like a hundred thousand times to section and still doesn't convince me...
Thank you for these amazing videos!! A big kiss from Spain!!
I'll work on that!! :)
Hi thanks so much for making these videos, I have just installed extensions into my new natural dreads, advice please my natural dreads are very soft but my extensions are very hard and stiff, please help xxx
You and your methods are so naturally beautiful Thank you for being you
This looks pretty cool..I'm considering starting this journey so what I wanna know is what type of hair texture extension do u use?
Hello! Will these extensions stay in permanently as she contincues to maintain her growth? Or do you need to take them out after a certain amount of time?
Yay! I'd love to see a progress video of how these change over time, even if it's in a month or two, because dreads change sooooooo much in the early stages! Thanks for sharing this :-)
+Kristin Bass-Petersen You can see an updated photo of her dreads on my personal instagram: instagram.com/thegoldendglow! :)
+Wired And Stoned Ah! Very nice, thank you for that! They are holding up beautifully
Follow our insty, too! instagram.com/WiredAndStoned 😊
+Wired And Stoned Totally do already! You guys are super talented, love all your work! That's how I ended up here :-)
Oh cool! Thanks for your support! 💗
Thanks for tips on pulling the Ext separate from the original hair when attaching. I was missing that component. Now it makes sense. Peace ✌🏽
I LOVE this video. Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to find a good video thats clearly shows this process but they have all sucked. I will be sending anyone I know that’s looking for info about dreads to you. Right now I’m just super excited to try your technique. Keep making awesome videos. ✌🏽❤️
I got my dreads by doing nothing but constantly rolling my hair for months.. it was painstaking but they came out amazing and smooth as silk...
My god I really wish I would live closer to you. I have been wanting dreads forever.
Im full Native American from the navajo tribe and i dont know how my ancestors had dreadlocks, ive been trying but only failing horribly.
i wish i had someone like you close by to help me lol good work.
The boyfriend has Native type hair, it's really slippery!! just gotta spend a lot of time up keeping them at first with the hook!
Residue free shampoo will help, and dread head HQ has a product called lock peppa that helps immensely
Hi love your videos I’m off to attempt to dread mine tomorrow is they any thing I need to do to my own hair and scalp before I put dreads in x
Any advice on attaching home made dread extensions to 6 month old dreads?? I know the way they mature might be a little weird but do you attach them the same way??
Very interesting. A lot similar to doing black hair textures for the crocheting part
Where did you get your extensions from and what kind are they? Real? Synthetic? Etc. Thanks!!
so pumped to start mine
Ugh... I wish you guys lived close to Oklahoma!! I would love for you to do my dreads
we can come to you! email us getwiredandstoned@gmail.com
Say what?!
do you ever travel to California? i live in next to los angeles. i actuallt live in seal beach. tiny beach city next to long beach.
Wired And Stoned Hi hope ur all good,love ur videos! My question is,by about how much in percentage will new dreads shrink?
I could watch and listen to you all day...and will.😘😘😘
I have been looking for a video like this for at least a year... Thank you!!! Do you have any experience doing this with a wool extension? My hair is only about four inches long, so the idea of adding in an extension while I am forming my locks is incredibly appealing, but I like the idea of using wool.
+Labyrinth Hoops No experience with wool. I should try it out! I imagine it's the same? Hmmm.. Did you find any helpful videos?
+Wired And Stoned I have mostly seen wool as temporary extensions. I have seen a couple of examples of a wool extension being sewn (needle and thread) onto a mature dreadlock, but this is the first video I have come across where someone is actually putting in an extension while forming the dreadlocks. If you end up trying it out, please share your experience!
Hey quick question, Is it better to get premade dreadlock extensions or to make your own out of loose hair?
DirtyVegan Water I prefer to make them myself out of human hair extension wefts. ✌️
Been wanting to have locs, BUT...... can not find anyone to do them on baby fine straight hair. I've been watching your videos and subscribed. I've asked a few of my friends and told them we can follow your video and no one will do it for me. I do enjoy watching your video. Also ordered a few things from your shop.
OOOPs tried to order aint happening will try again later
I love your videos my fellow stoner ❤️ Iv recently had dreads applied to my hair. Unfortunately it's a week later and the fuzzy stage has started. Any advice? Iv croctet it and also used a locking product. But it's these fuzzy bits at the root are still there. I'm kinda worried about it as I'm going on holiday next week and need some advice. Thank you in advance
Hi, are these for temporary or can it be forever or until your own hair is long enough?
I just found your guys’ page today and I’ve been watching your videos nonstop. I can’t wait to start my dread journey. I started a little baby dread behind my ear just to see if I could do it. I like the turn and rip process.
Does it matter what type Extensions you get? I can get clip ins pretty cheap at Sally’s but I wasn’t sure. (I’m on a budget) lol
Hey! I’ve watched lots of your videos and this may be a dumb question. 😬 but my hair is short a little shorter than shoulder length, and I would prefer longer dreads. I am only wanting to do partial dreads, soooooo my question is, since I don’t want to do my full bottom layer with dreads i can’t just add dreaded extensions to that. Should I do natural loose hair extensions over my entire head to have longer hair and then just add a few dreaded extensions into that (attached to my natural hair) or should I just wait for my hair to grow out? :/
Thanks!
An odd question I have and if you or anyone could answer this would be amazing, but does the extension come out over time? Or do you have to kinda cut it out? I am in the process of dreading my hair and with my hair being short I wanted extensions to make it longer but worry if they would fall out over time once my hair is longer then now.
Super helpful video, love your channel I been studying up on how to do my own dreads my husband and I have decide we want to take the journey. can't wait to start. I don't have anyone who can help me tho so i guess I'll need to go to a salon and then i can do my own exstentions. I can do my husband's but he can't do mine not gonna happen ha ha. Anyways thanks for the info so helpful.
What kind of crochet hook thingy are you using? I can't do it to my dreads with the hook I have... I wanna tighten them but I can't really do it by myself, its hard lol I love your videos btw! You look like Piper Chapmen too but you're gorgeous as hell!
Great video thank you! Are you using just a regular latch hook? Or do they come in differ t sizes??
Yes, as far as I know! 1mm.
Question: have you had any issues adding extensions in to brand new dreads? I am thinking about doing that but have heard that it's better to add extensions to more mature dreads?
I much prefer to do it while i do the initial dreads! it's much easier to make it look seemless and to connect them securely.
+Wired And Stoned ok thank you! Just heard that it could fall out once they dread matures and shrinks. But I will take your word for it!
Is it better to dread clean hair, or oily hair?
I’d rather the double ended crochet hook and sister if the hair together and crocheting it in back and forth that way. But this is an awesome look aswell
Do you twist always in the same direction? Or does it not matter?
I have short hair and want dreads with extensions. How long does it have to grow out to do this?
What if the strand is already dreaded completely? Do you have to brush some out to add extension?
Brush it out till the loose hair is long enough
Not necessarily, if the end isn’t blunt you wouldn’t have to
how long would you recommend someone's hair should be to try dreads
What’s the best way to deal with those gaps you mentioned..?
i feel like i wont trust anyone to do my dreadlocks and extentions anymore haha. i so wish you could do mine. they look amazing!!
I could! Where do you live?
+Wired And Stoned anchorage alaska haha! so far!
I Lovr this video I wish I would have seen this 3years ago.. I back combed my dreads when I started them and it sucked and looked horrible for a long time lol. I wish I would have done the twist and rip method with them all its Solo much better!!!
hi! after ordering a $150 set of kanekalon dreads, I realized I wanted to add them in permanently...I saw you say you prefer human hair for this but is it possible to use synthetics? thanks!
Libs for me, it wouldnt be worth the time to use low quality hair. ❤
Should you wait until your dreads are semi-amture/locked before you add extensions in? If so, how long? I have a half head (16 dreadlocks underneath my hair) #bestofbothworlds. I was wondering if I could put extensions in yet? They are about 5-6 months old. Each row was done a week after the other, so they're not all the same age but I don't think that really matters because they are all really dense and they feel awesomely locked and healthy. My normal hair on top is about 4 inches longer than my dreads though because I lost that length when I dreaded them. Are my dreads ready for extensions?
Are these permanent or temporary? In other words can I take extensions out?
So where did you get your crochet hook like that from because I can't find those that small
yay thanks for your fun advice 1 down 30 odd to go I'm using my hair I chopped of 3 years ago
So I think my loctition put my extension too close to my scalp and they are itching so badly like my extension is poking my scalp. I watched this video before I got dread extensions to know what to expect, I was so excited but now im a miserable mess! I know this is a super old video but can someone help?!
Omg I would pay so much to have you do my hair amazing work!!
Are you using Kanekalon or human hair for the extension?
Im thinking about starting my dreads and putting in extensions but have one question. Are they really permanent? Especially if I were to use synthetic hair?
don't use synthetic hair! !
Real hair is just wayyyy too much money for me hahaha
+Ryan Hewlett Jr ask around for someone's saved hair from a past cut, and dread it! :)
Was the ring on your index finger made by Greg Thorne??
I've seen so many pages about synthethic dreadlocks and they always say take them out after a few months or take them and and reinstall
but what if I dread those synthethic ones in my dreads that I already have to keep them as long as i want to.. Is that in any way bad? Because i can't seem to find a reason for them not to say in there 'as long as other dreads'..
Hi there this is a great video 😊 could I ask can you use synthetic hair for the extension or does it have to be real hair extensions? thanks 😊
for permanent extensions, use human hair! 😊
Thank you for replying. I've just started putting mine back in, with a little help from the hubby 😊 so I'll look into getting some real hair for extending them xx
Love , I have hand made locks of human hair and attached each one to my natural baby dreads just like there videos but am shedding like mad! I'm three weeks old so am far from matured dreads. Any advice 😭😭🤕🤕😓
Any tips on NOT breaking crochet hooks constantly? I’ve gone through 4 already 😫😭
Would a needle work instead of a hook? I have a .75 crochet needle.
Hey! As you know I'm growing out my undercut. How long does my hair have to be before I can add extentions to it? It's about 2" long now
Melanie Klar I would wait til 3 inches to be safe!
im literly doing the exact same thing rn as u
Im having trouble with mine. They are 2months old and the roots are so fuzzy. Anything i can do? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. TIA
@@jaybentley7877 have u tried crocheting? (0.05mm is best) you could also retwist the new growth (dont use wax)
@@vuks-fj7fl yes but i just mess them up mpre BC I keep getting the hook stuck..
Beautiful!! Love them but it’s overwhelming for a newbie! Lol
Best video yet! Thank you so much
Is this temporary or permanent? If they are permanent, is there a way to do this in a temporary way?
can you please make a video about trimming your dreads, mine are like about 45 inches long and I'm too afraid to trim them because I don't want to hurt my babies. please help.
I wish I had as many dreads as you do! My hair wasn't all that thick so I don't that many!
super helpful video, thank you! sending good vibes your way ☺
How much do you charge to travel and do dreads?
How can I know if my hair is thick enough for dreads ? I would like to attach three or four to the bottom but will that take away much thickness ?
Can you use synthetic hair for this?
Justified Jess yes, though you could use yarn, or even ripped cloth strands if you wanted to 🤷♀️ anything that won’t get gross (some yarns do). You could also go to the dollar store (or whatever it’s called where you are) and get faux hair
yes, you can (kanekalon), but be aware. you can wear those extensions for max. a year, then they look bad. also you can't dye them, they can't have open ends, they're itchy, when they mature they don't look natural
approximately how long would you say a whole head of synthetic dreads take to put in?
Where do you get the best dread crochet hooks???? I need to know guys
can you get it out again without cutting the hair?
the thing is I only wanted one little dread, and colour the extention so my hair doesn't get coloured. I want to donate them for cancer patients so they can have natural hair wigs but they aren't long enough yet.
please help
The only place locally I could afford to get them done did not feely hair would hold dreads due to being very fine plus because of the maintenance they felt it would be to much for me to do. I don't agree. But I'm kind of at a stand still as I can't do this myself. I have a heart condition that if I hold my arms up for long periods I can have issues. Well poop! I'm still going to watch and learn and maybe someday it can happen.
what do you do when your hair starts to grow out? how do you dread your roots into it
just make sure you regularly separate your hair, by pulling the dreads apart and they should do it on their own, I've also seen people do it with a latch hook / crochet needle to tighten it up.
What's the shortest length of hair you have dreaded?
What hair extensions should I search to order? To create longer dreads.
If you said it in the video I am sorry, my hearing isn’t so great.
like how can i braid the synth hair into my hair???
Can u add extensions to dreads that r already there?
How long does extension last can it last forever
Can these types of dreads be brushed out?
I want dreads but I have REALLY short hair! Is it still possible?!
when u rip, r u ripping in same spot, or random in that section?
lol, u just answered it video
