This not Joanne it's her son... I've watched a few of your video's and I think there great. I'm just starting my natural lazy dreads, I've been growing my hair for about 2 n half year's and bits of my hair at the top is starting to twist up now like. So what do I do just leave it wash it once a week so not Greasy and just let the dreadlocks form?
@@kanekochera57everyone's journey comes to an end. That doesn't make you a poser. I bet you're one of those guys that wears band shirts because they're trendy. Thats a REAL poser.
You're pretty much my favorite TH-camr EVER. Please keep the videos coming! I'm in my 8th month of neglect/freeform and you've helped me so much. Can't thank you enough.
OMG Has it been a YEAR???? Personally I thought your hair looked great .. once you got it trimmed LOL .. but even now you have great hair. Damn these haters hatin on you!
I had dreads for 5 years before removing them and I get compliments from professional hairdressers that my hair is very healthy. Even when I had dreads, I was very cautious in how healthy my hair was, so I guess it depends on how well one cares for their hair. I also removed mine via combing them out and it took a week or two.
Why do some people say their hair starts thinning during dreads? How to avoid? I have always wanted dreads, I'm gonna go for it. Have a full head of hair, late 30s.
@@AlienBunnyRabbit Word ok. Yeah I think it's best to just let it happen naturally and just use an all natural shampoo once a week. Only separate and palm roll occasionally. That's the best advice I see
My dreadlocks are 9, and I'm preparing for them to be gone next fall. Still makes me a bit emotional, I've had them since 17, but I feel it'll be necessary. I never made my dreadlocks with hooks or anything, so I appreciate the realness of this video. A lot of them just talk about "unhooking" which for me isn't helpful. Your hair looks great! I hope I have a similar experience
Lol I'm watching in 4 years according to TH-cam. Just started a new dreadlock journey a little over a month ago and was getting a "refresher course" of info and found this. Your hair looks great!
That dried out scalp is so true. Once I got my dreads out I just used whatever I had around. Got dandruff for the first time in my life after a few weeks. Still battling with it after 2 years.
you are who I watched on my journey leading up to my locs! Now I am 2 years in and love them i do miss brushing my hair and i lost so much length in the draw up phase. My question to you is have you thought about re locking your hair at any point after you took brushed them out? And I have fought with if i wanted to brush mine out I had a really bad time at about a year in and it took me like a few weeks to ride out wanting to brush them out. I am glad to see you come back around to youtube I love your videos and you made me locking my hair and what to do and not to do so much easier.
Mine are 7yrs old and during quarantine I’ve been pondering about getting rid of them. Undecided yet. When I had locks when I was younger I bleached and dyed so much and they weren’t in good condition. These ones I’ve got now I’ve kept as natural as possible and I wash them with homemade recipes so I know exactly what I’m putting in them. So tempted to chop em off and give myself a radical new do. I want to save them rather than brush them out in case of ever wanting to reattach.
not that my opinion matters, but your natural hair is absolutely beautiful! as a dreadhead i’m a little biased & usually when i see people chop/brush out their locs i’m like “aww man” but your hair is fucking fantastic. how amazing was it to scratch your scalp? 😂
It’s crazy, I watched you to guide me through putting my dreads in 5 years ago. Now I’m watching you to guide me through taking them out 5 years later 😆 Thanks for sharing everything about your journey, it made my journey much easier and fun! Cheers brother!
Ahh, I watched your earlier videos before starting my dreadlock journey. Going on 4 years now and have no plans to remove them yet. But it's great to see what's in store for when I do decide to remove them. Thanks!
I just re started mine again using twist and rip but all I wanted to say was thanks for the years of knowledge as far as locs go! But you should do vlogs like you used to again those were always cool idk if you got it planned already but anyways the hair looks healthy!
It almost looks like your hair wants to twist on it’s own from years of your locs, I finally started mine 2 months ago after 3 attempts and not liking the sections or being to inpatient. But I started watching your videos like 6 years ago from the “considering starting dreadlocs” video and I just wanted to say thanks for teaching me everything I know about having them now and I’m still in the new phase but I’m loving every second of it! But glad you’re still doing well! And I bet it feels good to just wash it and go with out worrying about it drying for hours 😂 hope to see another upload! ✌🏼
On Easter Sunday I took my dreads of 6 and a half years out. Like "An alien. Nice to meet you." (below), in years past I've received comments about how good and healthy my hair was - never straightened, never dyed, just a light shampoo with each shower and condition every other. The only maintenance that my dreads received (apart from the obvious washing) was crocheting, and my dreads were rock solid in places, thought I think this may be due to the nature of my hair, plus occasionally threading the odd one through its roots to tighten the base. They were cut to about three inches, soaked, worked with conditioner and then teased loose with the crochet needles over about 3-4 hours. The ends were a bit frizzy, though not too split or dead looking, but still in need of a trim. After the trim, now two weeks on, there are certain small parts of my hair that feel rough but for the most part you'd never have known I'd had dreads, especially so tight and for so long, but it was never going to be as silky smooth as it used to be! If anything I'd say my hair is comparable with most peoples. I did notice some itching of my scalp when in the shower which I'm guessing is mostly irritation due to the heat, but after shampooing and giving it a good (but not too vigourous) scrub over two, maybe three showers with my fingernails to remove any dead skin I've had no irritation whatsoever. It's worth noting here that this itching would occur before cutting my dreads off when they were having their weekly wash anyway, but having used Dr. Bronner's liquid soap for so long, and how soap naturally dries the skin, I'm not surprised by that.
I'm looking forward to brushing out my dreads and starting a new set eventually. I'm thinking I'll start the process by washing AND conditioning once I know I'm going to within a few months, I think that's going to be very interesting and helpful.
that youtube channel if my hair is conditioned or soft at all, it will not hold knots. Apple cider/water solution is nice but still takes knots out a little. Salt water spray works great tho. (I am on my 4th round of starting dreds. I had them for 8 years once-but got head lice) now it’s been almost 1 year.
I braid my hair after nighttime showers, for tangle control. On lazy (ie, I’m not going to clients) days, I might just put my butt length under a scarf/ knit cap. When I take those braids out, the ends are often in need of deep conditioning. Yes, two days after a wash. So, it’s simple to extrapolate that to hair that wants moisture and time to relax again after removing dreads. (How do I know that? I had a cluster of skinny dreads that made it three years before I had to make the full head or brush out choice at the behest of my employer.)
I had 79 relatively thick dreadlocks (30-40 cm long). I've been brushing them out since February mostly by myself. And I still have 22 dreads on my head xD
Still watching! Lol started dreads years ago learned so much ended up brushing them out before the matured and heavily considering locking up again now that my hair is long again ✌️🤘
When I took mine out I had SOOOO many short little inch or two inch long hairs at my roots. The rest of my hair was almost as long as yours so it was really annoying having all these little fuzzy hairs at my roots
I think the fact that I have my hair messy most of the time really helps cover up how uneven some of it was. Lil new growth root hairs would have been a real pain, but luckily I didn't really run into that.
What shampoo did you use when you had dreads? I think natural shampoos might be the best option when it comes to dreadlocks. The less ingredients, the better.
I remember trying to grow dreads and using your channel for advice. Never ended up going through with it and now after some uh...experimental hairstyles I ended up buzzing it all off haha. Kinda curious though, what shampoo and conditioner do you use now? I think I'm in the same situation where I need something better for my scalp, especially if I choose to grow my hair out again.
Been watching you for awhile.both dreaded and "normal" hair. And during that time I have had 3 sets of dreads. One I cut out and two that I brushed. More pain in the brushing but you do get to keep more hair that way. I'm growing my hair out now not sure what the plan is for it just yet but wanted to say I've always enjoyed your style of video and your general vibe .
I brushed mine out two years ago to! Became invisible in public and could get away more with not complying with Australian covid rules. Just got a new set started again and everyone’s looking at me in public. Because my original dreads were so well established and dreaded, I’m feeling very frustrated with this new set. They are so messy and not staying together yet. I guess I need to remember it took 1.5 years before they were perfect
I had 41 dreads I removed them alone and pregnant as all hell.. took me 7 hours a day every day I could get 6 done at the most took me about a week to remove them.. after my hair was pretty thin and messed up but once it recovered my hair now is actually better thinker and grows faster!!
I only had mine for a year but I couldn’t be bothered brushing them out so I ended up shaving my head lmao Wouldn’t mind getting dreads again when I leave my job working in a dirty factory though.
My hair after brushing out dreadlocks doesn't look that greate but mostly because I still haven't cut it and there is a lot of dry broken hair on the ends. And my hair was prone to be that way before I had dreadlocks - that was one of the reasons I did dreadlocks actually :)
I wanna try dreads I’ve been wanting it for so long but what scares me is the damage part I keep hearing about and I have a question. What about the mold? I hear dreads gets moldy I’m not sure.
the first time I had dreadlocks and saw my hairstylist, she goes " omg what have you done to your beautiful hair" I took them out about a year old, (impatience and they were partial dreads) when i saw her after i brushed them out, she was also surprised about how healthy my hair was
My hair is thinner (but my brother cut the final row off in a weird emotional breakdown, liberating freedom moment) but there's not a split end in sight.. A year later and it's definitely healthier than before. Although the weird undercut gets on my nerves.
My hair locks up so quickly so I decided to just LET it. I’m only a couple days in and was wondering which natural shampoos did you use? I am going for my first wash and would like to get started on the right foot without any unnecessary chemicals :))
I just finished brushing my dreads out a couple weeks ago! Took a few months cus I took my time. But anyway, my hair isn’t in a terrible state at all! But I also cut half the length so it’s shoulder length now. It is thinner but I think that’s just from the rough brushing out process! I’m just gonna keep trimming every 6 weeks and deep conditioning, taking good care of it, I have faith the thickness will revive!
I'm 2 months in and my hair is locking FAST! (I have super curly course hair) but I'm noticing hard spots?? (I have no other way to describe them) at the roots....have you heard of this?
Hi! I know you didn't ask me, but I think that's just the dread locking, usually the roots lock up more first and then the ends. You'll also get weird loopy things in your hair that feel hard, just wait time and don't try to change your hair and it will eventually fix itself very nicely and tighten up. Hope this helps
Hey LazyDreads. I know this is a really old video but im hoping you still check the comments occasionally. I was wondering, when you dry your hair off after a shower, did you ALWAYS rub it like in a clockwise motion before you wrap it up in the towel to sit for a bit on top? What about if youre only 1 1/2 years into it? My dreads are 1 year and 4 months old and i feel like nothing is changing with them at this point and i wonder if im missing out on maintenance for them with the tpwel rubbing from drying off. My hair is just like yours. Im white with wavy hair. HELP!!!
I had my dreadlocks for 11 years, each about 1m long. Cut them in half and combed them out almost four years ago. The problem that I have, and I have no idea if it is related to having dreadlocks or not, is that my hair gets to a certain length now, and won't grow any longer. It's shoulder length now, and it's been that way for almost four years :/
Me too but my sides wont go any further than my jaw. The front wont go any further than my chin but the back went down to the bottom of my neck. Idk why it stops growing randomly but I shaved the sides 2 weeks ago and it grows on the top more even though its untouched.I think I broke my scalp.
Lighter! I don't think any of my friends passed me by due to looking different without them. I've still been recognised a few times by subscribers since I've taken them out.
Dear @lazydreads my boyfriend back combed half his head and twisted and rip the other half after one day he had to reback comb towards the tips why? And do you have any advice sos need help ASAP
for all the people with dreadlocks, if i’m trying to grow natural dreads, if i occasionally put my hair in a bun or pony tail, will it slow down the process?
I don't think so. I'm an Indian with smooth straight hair, I'm 7 months in my loc journey and since I'm a teacher, I have to keep my hair looking presentable so I usually tie my locs in a bun. So far I don't think it has slowed down the process, my hair is looping and forming their own shapes, such amazing characters lol. I can't wait to hit the 1 year milestone of my journey. All the best to you too.
My dreads are very new like 3/4 weeks. A friend put the dreads in the back and i did the one on top and the side. The ones in the back seem to be locking up better than the ones on top. I'm not sure what to do about it or if i need to do anything about it.
What shampoo did you find that works well? I only wash my hair once a week unless I am outside in the heat a lot... What are your plans for your hair now? (Let it grow longer, go shorter...etc)
I liked the liquid shampoos from Superdread and Dollylocks. I plan on keeping it around this length. I had my hair trimmed once straight after removing the dreads, and then once more a couple of months ago. I think around the length I'm at is where I'm comfortable - long enough to tie up, but not so long that it becomes harder to handle.
My hair is so curly and mattes like crazy I'm thinking of getting dreads cause it is taking up soo much of my time! gosh I really am stuck on this subject :( I think I'm destroying my hair just by coming after wash lol
I brushed my first set of dreads out after 4 years. 60 hours over 5 weeks. I should have been using some oils as I had a ton of breakage. I gave it 3 month break, and then tried natural/neglect method 4 months. Dreaded too tight to my scalp, had some family deaths, shaved it all off! Had short hair since, but now I'm trying to grow it out again, and going to make wool dread extensions to help myself with the sensory issues with the awkward growth stages. Learned my hair dreads too tight to the scalp all on its own, and I can't deal with the pain. Temporary locs are the way for me now, I suppose. And I love the shampoos from Chagrin Valley Soap and Salve! They are amazing! Great ingredients!
Need some advice on oils and stuff. Like I’ve almost had them for a year and haven’t liked or anything yet. Should I? I’m just thinking it may help dryness and maybe even help them be softer and fall better. Also my dreads are just down to my face, I’m brushing some out to thin them they aren’t too thick at all but just wondering how long you think it could take?
Is it possible to interlock a dreadlock over a number of years to split the dreadlock in half instead of cutting or tearing? We got super excited and my sections are kind of big I've got about 26 dreadlocks and some of them are pretty thick but not matured enough that I feel comfortable cutting or tearing them but to mature to brush out I've tried any suggestions
Root flipping repeatedly will split the dreadlock and cause it to grow out split. However, the two halves will simply be twisted - not locked. When you come to try and actually split them you may find that the two new sections just unravel.
Click bait would imply I'm presenting content as one thing, and then not actually delivering the information. What information was advertised but not delivered?
I'm forty years old and have about two feet of hair. I'm watching all your videos to learn how to dread my hair this week. Nice to know it recovers well if they need to come out. I haven't had my hair cut or trimmed in over 15 years.

Hey man! I love the Motörhead record in the back FUCK YEAH! ♠️

Start another dread journey 😂👏
Mine are 2 years on 2nd may 🤓
I'm 2 months in and my hair is locking FAST! (I have super curly course hair) but I'm noticing hard spots?? (I have no other way to describe them) at the roots....have you heard of this?
Hi! I know you didn't ask me, but I think that's just the dread locking, usually the roots lock up more first and then the ends. You'll also get weird loopy things in your hair that feel hard, just wait time and don't try to change your hair and it will eventually fix itself very nicely and tighten up. Hope this helps
@@rinkokonoe8644 awesome....thank you!!!
Any interest in getting dreads again?
Hey LazyDreads. I know this is a really old video but im hoping you still check the comments occasionally. I was wondering, when you dry your hair off after a shower, did you ALWAYS rub it like in a clockwise motion before you wrap it up in the towel to sit for a bit on top? What about if youre only 1 1/2 years into it? My dreads are 1 year and 4 months old and i feel like nothing is changing with them at this point and i wonder if im missing out on maintenance for them with the tpwel rubbing from drying off. My hair is just like yours. Im white with wavy hair. HELP!!!
You have SUCH pretty hair!!!!!!!!!
Bro I have free form locs but I hate dandruff it’s harder to wash them out then having normal hair
Do you miss how easy dreads are like you can tie them with your own hair without having to use any hair ties?
M U S I Q A A ॐ
I know I do. Also, not having hair fly in my face in any kind of wind. That was nice.
I had my dreadlocks for 11 years, each about 1m long. Cut them in half and combed them out almost four years ago. The problem that I have, and I have no idea if it is related to having dreadlocks or not, is that my hair gets to a certain length now, and won't grow any longer. It's shoulder length now, and it's been that way for almost four years :/
Me too but my sides wont go any further than my jaw. The front wont go any further than my chin but the back went down to the bottom of my neck. Idk why it stops growing randomly but I shaved the sides 2 weeks ago and it grows on the top more even though its untouched.I think I broke my scalp.
Your accent reminds me of the Chieftain in Norse Men.

I got a question i dont know if someone alredy asked this but should i wash my young dreads like real young dreads🤔
Did your hair got thinner after you brushed them out?
What kind of shampoo did you use for your dreadlocks?
What did you use for shampoo? Dread HQ? Dolly locks?
Awesome and thx for the update bro 🤙
How do you feel since removing your locs?How many people have passed you because they didn’t recognize you? Good video!
Lighter! I don't think any of my friends passed me by due to looking different without them. I've still been recognised a few times by subscribers since I've taken them out.
Dude where are you?
Dear @lazydreads my boyfriend back combed half his head and twisted and rip the other half after one day he had to reback comb towards the tips why? And do you have any advice sos need help ASAP
for all the people with dreadlocks, if i’m trying to grow natural dreads, if i occasionally put my hair in a bun or pony tail, will it slow down the process?
I don't think so. I'm an Indian with smooth straight hair, I'm 7 months in my loc journey and since I'm a teacher, I have to keep my hair looking presentable so I usually tie my locs in a bun.
So far I don't think it has slowed down the process, my hair is looping and forming their own shapes, such amazing characters lol.
I can't wait to hit the 1 year milestone of my journey.
All the best to you too.
My dreads are very new like 3/4 weeks. A friend put the dreads in the back and i did the one on top and the side. The ones in the back seem to be locking up better than the ones on top. I'm not sure what to do about it or if i need to do anything about it.
What do I do if my dreads aren’t locking up on the root
Well your roots are new growth so it well lock up
DAD!!!!!!!!!
Christian, you look pretty good, your hair looks great too :)
So... where is this guy these day
On Instagram, mainly (instagram.com/Lazydreads)
First impression after preview: =O =O
Do you use gel? Or how do you keep hair out of your face/eyes?
He cut off the majestic locs but he still left most his antennas 👍
Is there any desire to get dreads again?
What shampoo did you find that works well? I only wash my hair once a week unless I am outside in the heat a lot... What are your plans for your hair now? (Let it grow longer, go shorter...etc)
I liked the liquid shampoos from Superdread and Dollylocks.
I plan on keeping it around this length. I had my hair trimmed once straight after removing the dreads, and then once more a couple of months ago. I think around the length I'm at is where I'm comfortable - long enough to tie up, but not so long that it becomes harder to handle.
@@LazyDreads it's a nice length on you 😊 my hair is past my bum. And tangles very easily, I don't know how you get by with only finger brushing.
Will you ever get dreadlocks again?
My hair is so curly and mattes like crazy I'm thinking of getting dreads cause it is taking up soo much of my time! gosh I really am stuck on this subject :( I think I'm destroying my hair just by coming after wash lol
Did you lose any hair like as in receding hair from having dreads?
I brushed my first set of dreads out after 4 years. 60 hours over 5 weeks. I should have been using some oils as I had a ton of breakage. I gave it 3 month break, and then tried natural/neglect method 4 months. Dreaded too tight to my scalp, had some family deaths, shaved it all off! Had short hair since, but now I'm trying to grow it out again, and going to make wool dread extensions to help myself with the sensory issues with the awkward growth stages. Learned my hair dreads too tight to the scalp all on its own, and I can't deal with the pain. Temporary locs are the way for me now, I suppose. And I love the shampoos from Chagrin Valley Soap and Salve! They are amazing! Great ingredients!
Need some advice on oils and stuff. Like I’ve almost had them for a year and haven’t liked or anything yet. Should I? I’m just thinking it may help dryness and maybe even help them be softer and fall better. Also my dreads are just down to my face, I’m brushing some out to thin them they aren’t too thick at all but just wondering how long you think it could take?
JogOnYaChickenNugget check out the channel Liza Jayne. She has some great videos on oils and how to soften locs!
Have you done a video on dying dreads? Like bleaching and then perma dying? I want to but havent dound any good videos i trust.
What was the name of the shampoos you used !
So does this mean no more videos?
How often do you wash your hair now? Still the same as when you had your dreads?
I used to wash my dreads 1-2 times a week, I now wash my hair 2-3 times a week.
How long does extension lock last
Please let us see you with a shaved head. Senpai-san
Your results have done nothing to convince me. HA
Is it possible to interlock a dreadlock over a number of years to split the dreadlock in half instead of cutting or tearing? We got super excited and my sections are kind of big I've got about 26 dreadlocks and some of them are pretty thick but not matured enough that I feel comfortable cutting or tearing them but to mature to brush out I've tried any suggestions
Root flipping repeatedly will split the dreadlock and cause it to grow out split. However, the two halves will simply be twisted - not locked. When you come to try and actually split them you may find that the two new sections just unravel.
@@LazyDreads thank you!
Athelstan is that you?
should rename your site to the removal afterwards or its click bait
Click bait would imply I'm presenting content as one thing, and then not actually delivering the information. What information was advertised but not delivered?
What shampoos did you use?
how did u get ur dreads
COME BACK
I'm forty years old and have about two feet of hair. I'm watching all your videos to learn how to dread my hair this week. Nice to know it recovers well if they need to come out. I haven't had my hair cut or trimmed in over 15 years.
How loose is too loose for roots in the beginning?
when it comes to straight hair, there is no such thing as too loose
