  • Guys, I woke up this morning to one heck of a surprise. Just 1 year into my journey and I thought I had a full crown set of #freeformdreads growing upon my head but it turns out I had just 2 big craters, causing a bald spot on my head and making my washes impossible. It's time I do something.... it's time we sit down and get to #CuttingDreads. It's going to be one hell of a #FreeformDreadlockTransformation . If you want to find out #HowtoSeperateDreads stick around because I'll also be showing you the 3 methods.

    Occasional separation of freeform locs is part of their upkeep imho, not just for looks but for comfort and to be sure you can clean the scalp. Looks good to me 🥰

    I’m just glad you waited a year to separate. Most people Separate before they even mature or start forming and then wonder why their hair is thin or have no unique form or Congos.
    You Still got Congos so I’m here for it! I’m on my third freeform set, heading into month 5 next month. Let’s Grow!! 🖤

      Hi, I started roughly 5 days ago but I also see decent progress at least imo but i wanted to ask some stuff since you're quite the veteran!
      On normal days without wash do you just wet your hair, or can you touch/ help them get into the position (I use my hand to guide it clockwise)?
      Could I also get any more advice if you have any?

      @@Okey.O Unfortunately I cut them off back in December cause they were high top locs and I wanted to switch to blowout or full head, but when I stopped i was already roughly 9 months in
      My locs were not that bad, but I was free forming so they weren't that long or proper, my locs were probably around 2 to 3 inches, and near the end I was focused on separating, that also was about when my first loc started to hang while dry.
      Adjusting the thickness you have to either separate when they start getting too thick for your liking or go to a loctician (which i wouldn't since i was free forming back then)
      My hair was building a mini afro under my locs as well which means to get longer locs you have to practically wait for them to loc up like when they first did (or go to a loctician)
      If you have anything you wanna specifically ask ill try to answer as well as I can

    As a semi freeformer on my second journey, I like to manipulate my locs from time to time with abit of separation after each wash so I can easily say that I support you separating your locs. End of the day you gotta do what's best for you on your journey 👊

    Your overall statement of a healthy balance of freeforming and separating is nothing but wisdom in my opinion. I'm glad I planned ahead. I just hit two years. Started with 9 months of growth. About 3-6 months of complete freeforming. Then separated into 8 main Congos and now I nonchalantly separate maybe once a week. Outside of that I just let them grow. I think separating avoids a lot of catastrophic possibilities especially with health.

    I love how you put this video. You basically “Like bro y’all can keep yall Congo’s un separated but I’m im about rip these bitches apart because I want to.”But you still make sure you say, unseparated congos will be a dope ass set. They will, But it’s gonna be tough in the long run. Definitely a good video for us nattys. Lol I have no locs I’m about 6 months in. Just being patient 😂 lol
