HEY GUYS! I know it has been quite some time but I posted a new dreadlock video! The new video talks about the real pros vs. cons plus some helpful tips :) Check it out and let me know what you think!
So crazy.. I’ve been looking at dreadfullhippie to get dreads and then looking up videos (found your pros and cons) and came here.. I also live in middle of nowhere Montana! Haha idk just thought it was a lot of coincidence 😋 I LOVE the way you look in dreads and it’s definitely pushing me towards making the leap!
What a small world!! Haha thank you so much for supporting my channel 🥰 I definitely would suggest that if you are even considering dreads, just do it!! You’re going to love them!! Lol
@@nicolepoulton I’m going into town today so I think I’m going to buy some synthetic hair and try to make my own!😬 haha we’re on a tight budget and I love a good DIY.. but if all else fails I’ll just have to start a savings and be patient! They look soooo good on you!!
FUN!! Let me know how it goes making your own!! I have heard so many people do that and honestly it sounds a little intimidating to me for some reason haha i would love to make a few colored ones eventually for a pop of color in mine! :)
AHH!! How exciting!! I have had mine for a whole month now and I still love them so much! Best purchase I have ever made! haha What colors do you get? :)
@@nicolepoulton I did!!! I didn't get enough but I still put them in 😃 And I'm definitely getting more 😁 I'd post a picture but I don't think you can do that here lol
I am so excited for you to get them!!!! I have worn mine everyday since this video was posted. I love them so much still! Ahh! Haha I want to see pictures when you have them in!! Haha
These dreads are definitely expensive! To be completely honest, it’s kinda hard to say. I haven’t tried any other brands so I don’t know how they compare. It could be possible you find some high quality dreads for cheaper… That being said, I do not regret spending the money I did on my dreads. I feel like I have definitely gotten my moneys worth! Plus, it seems like dreadful hippie has an awesome variety of dread/braid styles so your over all look can be extremely customized! I hope this helps lol ❤️
I plan ahead where I want my part to be :) I will start with the whole back of my head then once I’m done with that, I make the part down the middle and work one side at a time. I will make a video on how I section my hair while installing! :)
Thank you! And congratulations to you!! ❤️ mine are like 22 uncheck when folded in half but because they are double ended they can be made longer/shorter depending on how they are folded :)
So beautiful. I don’t have to confidence to pull that off! I need to lose weight first. You look great! Have you seen the wave locks? I think I might be able to wear those idk though. I have so many questions. I had to have someone put them in I think idk if I could do it
First of all, I’m a year late but congratulations on your four years, darling! I haven’t caught your name yet I just kind of got led to you inquiring about synthetic dreadlocks and just finding out about your sobriety. I realize that it’s even more that is viben 🙏🏼⚡️🤲🏼 I just got my three years on August 8 right on darling. I did not catch your name yet. I apologize for that. Oh wait I’m looking at the video pause and it says Nicole lol OK sister Nicole! Ha ha ha ha ha I was wondering I haven’t gone to your channel yet if I know this was a year ago so I don’t know if you’re still representin the dreads or not. If you are, I was wondering if you could do a live installing dreads with me video. It’s only you I would ask that of your pace is perfect. And I don’t mean to be spoiled, but a piece that I can follow . Anyway, I’m so glad that I was loved your videos. Peace out darling. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Sorry for the late reply but CONGRATS ON YOUR 3 YEARS SOBER! Ill reach my 6 years sober this January so its always fun to meet a fellow sober person :) If you haven't checked out the other videos on my channel, I do have a few LIVE installs so you can go one dread at a time with me :) Hopefully those videos are helpful! Let me know if you need anything else!
I'm getting my first pair of dreadlocks extensions tomorrow they are blonde and I have a question I'm going to a theam park and if I go on a roller coaster will they come loss and come undone I'm so scared it will happen any advice for high speed with dread extensions
hi! i got dreads from dreadful hippie as well but i’m facing some discrimination issues :( i was wondering if you were ever confronted for culture appropriation and how you dealt with it? i would really like to some help from you and any one else who reads this!
I’m so sorry your having issues with this! I get that sometimes too. I see it this way: People will judge me no matter what I look like. Skinny or thick, tall or short, symmetrical or asymmetrical, natural hair or dreads. You are risking people judging you no matter what you look like. You might as well live your life how you want! To offend no one you have to say nothing, do nothing, be nothing 💜 stay strong
For people who may be racist: Vikings wore dreadlocks. Many Africans wear dreadlocks (including South Africans, where there’s some white people). Dreadlocks aren’t specific to any one skin tone or culture. To the people who just get upset about what other people do with their hair: Hair is very important to people. It makes us feel more confident, more ourselves. By being upset that I’m making myself happy, you’re clearly just not a happy person yourself. Go treat yourself better. At the end of the day, be proud of what you do for yourself first. And then be proud for the people who like that you treat yourself well. Anyone who’s being a shit is just the friendly reminder that your in a better place.
@@elizatucker9232 are you sure about Vikings? Because I’ve heard that Vikings were one of the most people who took carefully care of their hair… Dreadlocks are originally from Egypt m, Greece and India, worn as well by so many other cultures such as in Meso American people and others countries in Africa… I just feel it’s a bit dumb to talk about cultural appropriation since everything in the world is made of something and got inspired by many cultures.. without to mention that hair naturally dreadlocks themselves if we don’t brush them.. so 😅 people should really let others do what they want!!! It’s okay of being white and wearing dreadlocks as it’s okay for black to wear Caucasian wigs.. I wish people were more understanding 🫶🏽
1st of all, any and all hair types will lock if left unattended. Therefore it is not just one race who can claim dreadlocks. Secondly, the earliest recorded dreads were worn by the Hindus.. people from India! Dreadlocks can also be traced back in Chinese culture, Indigenous cultures, the Greeks, Norwegians, the Celts. The list goes on and on. The next time you are faced with somebody spouting off their ignorance, I would suggest you tell them to go and open history book. Africans did NOT invent dreadlocks
@@nicolepoulton okay! Thanks for the tip! I’m worried about it being to heavy…especially being that this will be my first installation of dreads. I was going to do natural, but my hair I think may be too fine to have a full head? Maybe after these grow some I’ll convert over?!
@@ShellzZ0325 What a lot of people do is they start with partials or do big sections. I have veryyyy thin/ fine hair so it took a while for my scalp to warm up to my dreads but it will adapt over time. If you are wanting to start with a full head (like I did), just make larger sections so more hair is holding onto the dread. I would leave those in for a month then by the time you need to move them up, your scalp might be ready for more :) Just listen to what your body is telling you. Im sure they will look amazing no matter how you decide to do it!
When I was learning there weren't any videos that really helped me out but once I learned how to install, I recorded my own! It has helped a ton of people learn how to install so I suggest checking that out :)
I’m sorry it took me so long! I was just so excited for them haha my other videos have much better editing 😅😂 I hope you just skipped forward to see them 😆☺️
They are about 20-22 inches but the fold over ones. So one dread is actually two haha so it’s super long! I know you can cut them (at a very sharp angle) too to make them shorter!
My natural hair just won’t grow without these in :/ I think I use too much heat to style it without the dreads. But your right! Ill miss my hair growing out but I kinda want to miss it haha I just want to get to the long hair! Hahahaha
But wait as a white girl with DREADS I've been told on here not to call them "locs" because only black people can have "locs"....but here you are saying we're not to call them dreads, they're locs?? So one group of people are saying one thing, and the other is saying something else. LOL I just can't with you gatekeepers. It's not that deep you're just nitpicking.
I have to order everything online too. Hope you left a link for those dreads!!!❤
Congratulations on 4 years girl!!!! Your Locs look amazing!!!
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
The Celtic is so beautiful and you did such a beautiful install. Good job.
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ I hope your install turned out great!
I love how excited you are about dreadlocks !!!

YAY!!!
Do u still like them? What color and cost? Did you get same brand?
I was expecting you to record the installing part from the dreads. But love the video 😍
I should add an install video, huh?! I will record one next time I am moving them up! :)
I will be adding an example instal video this week and hopefully my full install start to finish sometime this month! You have inspired me :)
I found her to be extremely expensive, do you feel they’re worth the cost?
These dreads are definitely expensive!
To be completely honest, it’s kinda hard to say. I haven’t tried any other brands so I don’t know how they compare. It could be possible you find some high quality dreads for cheaper…

You are soo beautiful ❤ so happy for you. You are so sympathetic! Hope i will be as happy as you with doing mine soon 🥹
That's so sweet :) Can't wait to hear how your install goes!!
they look amazing! how did you get the middle part when installing?
I plan ahead where I want my part to be :) I will start with the whole back of my head then once I’m done with that, I make the part down the middle and work one side at a time. I will make a video on how I section my hair while installing! :)
What length did you get? Mine are coming sunday!!!!! Congratulations on 4 years!!!!! I got mine for my 3 years ❤

I was 4yrs sober on Jan 2. Congratulations! Why not put real dreads in for yourself. 4yrs is huge.
I’ve got commitment issues hahahaha
Congratulations on your sobriety!!!
Well they look good none the less.
@@gbeagle417 thank you! Ya I would love real ones but I’m just too scared haha I know one day I would want to take them out :)

What made you go with synthetic?.... As opposed to human hair?
idk honestly! I kinda felt like if I was going to use real hair I would just dread my own, you know?
Maybe $1,000s of dollars
Are the synthetic or real human hair... they look really good
They are synthetic! :)
Gorgeous 👍
Do u have a link foR them please they look amazing
The one she has comes from the dreadful hippie
Thank you! This is the site I got mine from! dreadfullhippie.com
Ur dogs face when u open the knife lol
🤣🤣🤣
How long are you able to keep these in your hair?
I keep mine in for about 6 weeks or 8 week with a week 4 touch up. :)
How many dreads did you install? I’m looking to buy some but I’m unsure of how many DE to get. The fullness of yours Would be ideal as to what I want!
I bought 9 packs (each pack has 5). I could have gotten away with 8 packs for my whole head. I didn't install three dreads So I have 42 in right now!
Awesome! Thanks so much for replying! I bought a set of 50DE so I should be good to go then!! 😊
@@ShellzZ0325 YAY! if you instal all of them and its too heavy, you can always start with less, too!

Hey I want to let you know that TEMU has hair of all types and tons of cool accessories super super cheap
What is TEMU? That’s sounds awesome!
What video did u watch to learn how and where on ur head to put them?
When I was learning there weren't any videos that really helped me out but once I learned how to install, I recorded my own! It has helped a ton of people learn how to install so I suggest checking that out :)
So I was waiting and waiting for it to be opened 😏…. But it’s taking your forever! Lol! Over 3 minutes in and STILL no reveal… 😏😕

I ordered a set from a Ukrainian shop. I have to wait a few more weeks before I can install them bc my oldest step son is getting married.
