Learn how to wrap dreads at night in this Howcast hair video about dreadlocks.
Okay, so I'm going to show you how to wrap your dreads at night. I'm going to use a basic, standard scarf, head scarf rather, that you can get at any beauty supply or any department store. So the first thing you do is usually kind of square shaped. You take it in a rectangle or triangle rather, shape. Put the two ends together to get a shape something like this. The two ends are the ends you're going to tie your knot and get your most tension.
You want to first put the scarf on to of your head and kind of measure out how much length you're going to need in the back to kind of cover your dreads whether they're down or up. So since I'm fully covering my dreads, I'm going to take both of the two ends, put them together and tie it. I'm going to tie it loosely at first and make sure I get my hairline covered. I like to start with covering the ears and then as it gets tighter you can lift it over your ears.
So you want to tie it as tight as you can stand it, but tight enough where it stays in place. With the ends, you can either bring them around and tie your knot up front or you can tie a nice little knot in the back. It has to be a knot you can actually sleep on, so you don't want to get too fancy with your knotting. And then I usually just tuck the knot underneath. Make sure it's secure. Like I say, you can pull your ears out if you don't like the ears to be covered.
And another thing you can do if you like to toss and turn a lot in your sleep, you can go over the top of your scarf with a headband. That way that secures the scarf. You have your nice silk and satin up against your actual hair, because you want to use a scarf that is either silk or satin. That's better for the hair. It keeps the oils in your hair. It won't cause your hair to dry out as much. So even with using a headband, you want to be sure to have the scarf up against your actual hairline. And that is how you wrap your dreads at night.
Very helpful video for those of us who have recently started our dread loc journey and have no clue how to cover our locs properly at night.
Indeed 💙
I do a fold ontop of my head like a bun but just folded with a large rubber band or scrunchy to hold it then a bandana folded in half and tied around my forehead very widely and it holds my locs in place at the back where some hang down. Very comfortable and stays on. This was taught to me by a rasta friend with massive hair.
Thank you! This is very helpful for a newbie to dreadlocks.
I'm glad she stopped playing with that scarf. I'm like how long does it take to figure this out lol
I thought we were in Psych 101 darn fresh out of high school and you know how boring that was taught by a professor 💤💤💤
Thank you I didn't have a clue what to do with all this hair at night
That model is excessively good looking.
+Mark Stapleton (Markie) her TH-cam name is chescalocks
+Pam Cakes good look, Sis.
The model looks like she is straight out of Ancient Egypt, so beautiful
Franchesca Ramsey is her name she has a podcast with her husband called first name basis
She ight
They skipped the whole first part. I need them to explain what to do with the hair before wrapping it up
You really need someone to explain that to you? Smh
M B yes. Wrapping is easy. When you have long locs, the hard part is figuring out what to do with the hair and how to appropriately tie it up at night to avoid mishaping it and maintaining its integrity. So thanks for your sarcasm.
@@brooklynebony are you really serious to be so rude as to ask if the individual "really needs" that explained? You do realize at some point, something in YOUR LIFE was NEW TO YOU & raised concern or curiosity where IT too had to be explained to you, whether it pertained to locs or anything else, yes? I could ask that your mom's decision NOT TO INGEST YOU be explained to me, but that would be rude now, wouldn't it? Don't bother replying. You're blocked and muted....
Everybody Ganged on Boy 😂😂😂 but he brought to himself tho lol 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@brooklynebony yea thanks for your sarcasm
great tip with the head band
I use a lock soc over my satin scarf. My scarf would be on the floor if I wore a head band. Good luck with the head band little sis 👭🏽
Chescaleigh !!
Love the model's eyebrows
Head tie! Centuries old tradition!
This helped, thanks I just got my starters and my loctician said tie it with a silk or satin scarf but I had no clue how to tie it
I know the video is old, but thank you for the headband on top. I am a violent sleeper and my scarf always slips
Stop LIP SMACKING
EWW...I'm glad I found this channel because I toss and turn a lot at night and my hair pulls as I do it, causing me to wake up out my sleep. And I was using cotton material to tie my hair and it dry's my hair out. I'll itch and scratch all day. And my cotton pillow cases does the same. I'm going online to buy a silk scarf right now!
The model looks like she is straight out of Ancient Egypt, so beautiful
i do not no how you guys say dreads i can't say it i say locks, every time i say dreads it feels like my teeth are turning or screeching together.
Corrin M thought I was the only oneee😂😭
Ditto
there is NOTHING dreadful about Locs. Maybe some people need to do a bit of research.
Is that Chescaleigh? If not she pretty much has a twin. She has always been my loc crush.
At the end I was like... Is that chesca??? Lol
yes it is. lol
😍 So nice ❤👍
The best way to wrap locs is with panty hose. Keeps in the moisture and protects against lint
Tights as we call them, won't allow the hair to breathe, resulting in excess perspiration and a strong odour.
@@silentnight3970 definitely don't want tights on my locs,going on Amazon ,to get a silk scraft .😉
i love the video!
So basically,... tie a scarf around it. that sentence took 15 seconds to type and is the gist of the entire video.
Pretty
so i just started my locs and i dont know what to wear on my head, what about a bonnet?
Ik this is such a late reply. But I do that
Only thing is once your locs get longer, your dreads might start to change direction so you find another method
I'm interested in getting Rasta dreadlocks but do I have to cover it to sleep in and is having dreads a maintenance process.is it worth it
This video tight bruh
Chesca!! ❤️
What material should head scarfs be?
Mark Skywalker Satin and or silk head wraps
LaZIon thank you 😊
Good question Mark!
Am I the only one distracted by models excessive blinking?
The head-tie was probably too tight!
😂🤣
😜
It is funny because everything else I have found says you don't want to wrap your head too tight.
does this stay on at night
cheyenne Smith it doesnt. been there done that. the struggle continues.
I replied a year ago wtf
but thank u I tried so didn't work was pissed
ik its late but buy a du rag it helps soooooo ,cuh
Mine stays on as long as I tie it tight enough. I usually like the fine line between very snug and too tight... tight, but not enough to cut iff circulation. I often tie the knot VERY tight, then pull at the scarf on either end of the knot to loosen it up just a bit to get it right.
I do use the headband option sometimes, but I use an elastic one instead of a cloth one since that holds better.
Another tip is to align the scarf right above your eyebrows so there is some leeway if it begins to slip while you sleep. If you wake up to pee at night like how I do, readjusting it then works.
Some people aren't as particular about their head scarf staying on as I am, so you can try it if you like. I've learned not to move so much in my sleep over the years cause I hate my scarf falling off (I used to be all over the bed, lol).
I found a polyester scarf. Is that ok to use? I was using cotton bandanas but I'm changing.
Anything that's shiny and doesn't absorb well would be ok I'd think.
Chescaleigh! :3
Chescalocks :)
that lady has the same last name as me...Im Jamahl Honor...wonder if she's fam
about what?
she blinks a lot is she nervous
Were a you rough enough on her head? God! And I thought ya ring would put her eye out!
