Instant Dreadlocks/locs

- This is the video that introduced instant locs to the loc industry. Instant dreadlocks was not available until this. All the wave of crocheting locs and loc extensions, all the fad of instant locs and the entire loc movement started here.
Instant locs is a starter loc method but crocheting locs can be done at any stage on your loc journey.
If you are a loctician, this is a must learn type of service.
Lol imagine doing this in the middle of the week and pulling up to school the next day with locs
Hahahaha. Imagine. Hahaha.
@@svpminaj4598 Dont be rude.
@@svpminaj4598 I’m not. I guess you are.
I did that basically but at work lol
Folks doing it all the time. I started my dreds already having long hair.
The fact 2.5k people disliked this video is shocking. Must be people who are mad she’s not going through the whole long process of twisting her locs, and letting them form. This is perfect for those who don’t have the time, or just don’t like the staging.
Yep! Or have loced up before and cut their locs and miss the locs and not the process lol
@@Greatboldness so are these temporary or What since its not done the practical way?
@@danieljohnson6375 they are permanent. They just take time to mature. The bodies are softer than mature dreads and haven't gone through the stages yet.
@@Greatboldness how long does it take to mature doing them this way?

Best loc video hands 🙌🏾 down!!! He didn’t do a lot of intro talk about nothing, he was direct and straight to the point. Gave me all the assurance I needed to start my locs! Thanks!!
Same here😁
Did you start yours? I’m watching this video now and want to start my loc journey again. 2019 I cut my locs for a job they turned me down cuz hand tattoos smh I’ll never cut my locs for a job again

People who do beautiful things with their clients hair NEVER live anywhere close to me. :(

E Dunlap the fact that it's a man doing his wife's hair, that smooth that quick.
Black hair is so versatile! I love being African.

Yes it is !
Angie Is the best of the best not true
@@sharksareawesome24 well, they mean not as easily. You'll still get burned, it just takes alot longer
Me too😃 love my skin and embrace it!!
The birds in the background make this video so relaxing 😌
Said the same 🙂
I don't know what is more beautiful...this king educating us on loc ing her hair or the Queen crocheting while he finishes her hair.
his voice, quality of the video and the location was sooo damn relaxing lol
It induces ASMR. Look it up. Some pple voices trigger it( like His in the video), others are triggered by soft sounds like that guy that use to paint on T.v.. The white guy painter with that Afro hair......he relaxes me. Look up ASMR pencil drawing , crinkle paper ( sometimes annoying tho), ASMR makeup. Its soooo many different ones. It's kinda weird....but I swear that stuff cures insomnia.
+Denise La bob Ross?
Ryan Holloway yes!!! Thank you.
MrzGEISHA yesssss birds chirping and all
I dgclxnvckcj
I think it's cute that you're both crocheting at the same time!
I was thinking the same thing
Name of the cream
100th like!
Peace and love to you chris, I remember seeing you in this video 14 years ago you are the original. The pandemic really Shine the Light on instant locks but you are the pioneer! Love and wellness to you always. I'm giving you your flowers because they are most respectfully do! You are the original God of the instant locs.. and I started implementing your Technique back then. You are amazing
Thank you
Very professional. His voice is so relaxing
This is the best instant dreadlock video
👍
Can someone help me out please. I have a question... Do you have to lock dreads?or can you just twist them and leave it at that?
@@annunkitribe8994 twist em then leave em u can do either or both
The best
Lakisha Edwards Hi. They can be achieved without crocheting. They can be twisted with a comb to the end completely. Depending on the initial length it can be palm rolled (I preferred in one direction, I’ve sen back and forth on established locs) and set under a dryer. They unravel/ loosen but after a series of restyling over time, begin to lock and hold. They’re beautiful when done correctly or well. Hope that helps.🙏🏾
This is the only video that I've watched that makes me feel 100% comfortable starting my baby's dreads!
Hey did u do your kids hair how did it come out
@@charliejordan6999 it turned out perfect. It's now to his shoulders. The right size and all
Same here
I love how she's also (knit) crocheting as he's crocheting her hair! Fantastic!
Watched this video a few years ago. Watching it again now and enjoying just the same as back then. Fantastic job, Kris!👍
wow at 8:00 watching ur hands work the hair while her hands work the crochet was very relaxing. i like the rhthym
u0fo the phone can only do so much..lol
he rocked those dreadlocks
+jada cooper uuuuh!
+Kris McDred i mean those dreadlocks are nice
I know... its ur pun im uuuhing about. rocking locks

You've just save my grown up ass right now. I had a client for dred, never did this before, but I assured the client believing I would watch on TH-cam. I'm glad I do watch the Best and easiest way. Thank you and God bless you initiatives. Your wife knitting is beautiful too
Felt the need to comment this,I watched this video with my baby’s mother 6 years ago and she started my dreads from a mini Afro and today (6years later) I have dreads down my back!!! I could never thank you enough for teaching my girl to do my dreads and I been on a 6 year journey with my hair and free of charge by the way lol 🤷🏾♂️😂 but yea thanks for the information anyone looking to start yours journey don’t hesitate frfr
17000+ view in 2 months.. I'm like God Lord!!! thank you guys. really humbled.
You really inspired me to get Instant Locs!! You make it look so easy but it takes time to master it. I can't wait to grow out my Locs! Like you said, "Time is the product."
You're talented brother Most High Bless!!!
This is AMAZING!!!!
thank you so much for posting this man, I've been trying to figure out a sure technique for this for a long time now. I need this type of technique because I get dandruff way too easy so I need to wash at least 3-4 times a month
Where are you located? Can you direct me to someone in Tennessee?
I wish I had found this video when I started my locs! It would have made things so much easier....
me too..
I'm gonna see can someone in the city (Chicago) do these
.
true
MsBgood83 right!!!
Thanks you helped my do my Sisters hair. I love that she has instant locs now. My first try was using someone else’s video and they came out really fat and a couple of them unraveled. I tried again using your method and they came out perfectly! Thanks for the tip on finishing the loc off, now she doesn’t have the straight tips. They look like even the ends are locked too! Thank you thank you thank you! 😁
Such thick healthy hair. Your technique is flawless. Brilliant idea!
I watched this while in high school. The first dreadlock video I ever watched. I am just now getting my locks after 5 years.
Where can I find him cause I need to make my son's dreads and me
Same 5 years lol
Breyonna Morgan dame here lol
The texture of her hair is so pretty. It looks so soft! Like it belongs inside of a pillowcase!
:-D
😂😂
Lyrehc Perry LOL! Forreal! I just want to grab armfuls of it and hold it close to my chest for a big bear hug! Lol. It reminds me of that one nursery rhyme, "Baa Baa Black Sheep, Have You Any Wool"
+The Shebrew yes sir yes sir 3 bags full. Her hair is beautiful and looks cottony. 😍😍
@@denisela3403 yup the beauty of the afro
i Enjoyed this video so much! This Guy knows what he's talking about and he's very good at doing dreadlocks.
This was so informative 👏 thank you so much. I feel so much more confident in doin my husband's locs now . Bless you man 🥰

This is one of the reasons why I regret moving out of Harlem. Hair Stylist everywhere! OK so now I live in NC. Who can do this in Charlotte or Kings Mountain?

@@kimjohnson3860 alot of those sylists are African but facts
Agreed
I have been thinking of doing dreads and of all the people I have seen doing it, you're the one who has impressed me most
I’m in the process of dreading my sons hair and you have a been a life saver🙌❤️THANK YOU❤️
I chased a guy down in the gas station from Jamaica who told me about using a crochet hook. I had been watching the wrong videos on how to do start and maintain my dreadlocks. Thank you so much for this video...I've learned so much. Keep doing what you're doing. As long as you've got haters, you're doing something right!
We're are you located
@@karlenesharpe149 uko wpy
why'd u chase him down though lol
I have been doing dreads like this for a long time. you are the only person I have seen doing dreads like this. Beautiful job!
I just started doing the diamond part and it also lays and styles beautifully.
thanks for the video oh and for telling people not to use to much product. I get tired of seeing people on TH-cam who do unmentionable things to get their hair to lock.
thanks again. be blessed
Can you do this method without interlocking at the root?
+CaShanta Pullard 1118 Yes, on ethnic hair. it is twisting and heat setting.
+Patricia Callen thank you !
Your welcome
well said. nothing to add
This is literally THE BEST tutorial I’ve seen on instant locs😍! Love how you interlocked the roots also🤗! Awesome job👏🏿! I’m 5 weeks into my loc journey and mine were started by interlocking. Kinda wish I did this now😂! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
I took his class, he's an even greater teacher!!! 🙌🏾 Best wishes on your Loc Journey 👑
I've learnt something new!
You're a great hairstylist.
I love how she is crocheting as he is crocheting her hair.
If black people really know how grate we are we would be ruling the world again.
Great*, but yes, agreed. *erykah badu voice*
well said
+Julie j good people should rule the world,doesn´t matter the race or heritage... don´t you think that kind of thought might mean the same as white people think and as a result, fucked it all with non-white people? Everyone should learn about other´s mistakes and make it better ;)
great.
thank you for posting that. black people don't know who they truly are! at least most
This I literally the best loc video Ever….you explained everything straight through the video…great job …hair looks great 👍🏾 ❤️
This is the most excellent thing I've seen in loc haircare. You rock!!!!! Perfection. He is the Loc-Meister!!!
The way he touches the hair, it's like he handles it as if it's alive. As if he's giving it pats to soothe it or he's massaging it to relax it.
That’s because it is alive, beautiful flows of energy 😍💪🏽
Can you do locs on relaxed hair
@@tiaculver419 Yeah, but relaxed hair is not as healthy as natural hair. Relaxed hair don't loc so you'll have to wait for new growth, it will look stink.
BigKing17 what about if u have 3A type hair and it’s soft...will your dreads be nice?
@@f4xl177 As long as it's natural it'll loc. It may take longer for you to get out of the ugly loc stage, but once you take care of it, it'll be nice.
Who is here to get dreadlocks skills, l actually learnt from him ❤️
Where are you located? Excellent work

This the best video on dreadlocks that I have ever watched. It's so detailed.
Best video I've seen. Gave me the confidence to try it myself instead of going to a salon. Just ordered supplies.

I’ve been coming back to this video for over 5 years now! Definitely my motivation
I had the pleasure of taking his class, great instructor. Doing a set of instant locs tomorrow 💪🏾💗
Absolutely the BEST starter video on TH-cam, hands down
I agree
yes, so happy I found him
I can agree I've watched so many times hoping i get it right
Watching this for the third time and it is still *phenomenal*
tnx
Kris McDred can u do mine
I could watch this video multiple times a day and I won’t get tired. I absolutely enjoy watching. Now the fun part is trying to duplicate what I watched.
I’m starting my locs in a few hours. She’s interlocking. I have 3a / 3C hair. I’m scared at how it’ll come out but I’m so excited that I’m finally getting locs after 10 years from really wanted them. This video was so helpful. Thank you. Def subscribed
this dude is a hair genius!

OMG ...the lady is crocheting .... love it.... he makes art with a hook and her hair while she makes art with a crochet hook and yarn .....
Oh my gosh, his hands and nails are SOOOO clean and even nicer to look at!! 😍😍😍😍
And if it's hurting your fingers to crochet eith the needle, you should consider getting a THIMBLE for that finger. You'll notice a difference
This video made me get dreads and now my dreads are almost 1 year old and I still use this method thank you so much😊
That's what's up ... That was my only question other than that they look great ... I'm proud of you man
Damian Walter Tnx Damian. I know your work. I studied you in my early days.

Thank you for sharing!
I love Afro hair ! Looks amazing !!
Ether not hair animals have hair
It's bc of the SPIRAL! The spiral is the shape of DNA😎
I don't believe in the "ugly phase". There is enough negativity aimed at our locs without using that description. Whatever "phase" our locs are in...they are beautiful. Thanks for this video.
You are entitled to your own opinion n interpretation William. And so I'm I.
Every hairstyle no matter what it is has an “ugly phase” but you’re absolutely right. Dreads are extremely beautiful and there are a lot of people who fail to see that.
William Barber II my locs were tiny twists & I recieved many compliments
Thank you so much! I’m about to Loc my nephews hair. You’re video just gave me the confidence/instructions on how to do it💗 Thank you again! I will be telling him that “Time is the product for his hair to get to the style he wants! 🥰
Just started my locs over a week ago and I’m sending this video to my lady! I loveeeee these!
Wow!!! Black peoples are pure magic 👌🏿
Aww thanks

MenYoney DiMaggio my hair is thicker than most people's and my skin certainly isn't see through
Fuck off.
This is perfect timing. My 15 year old daughter wants to get dreads after I coiled her hair and she loves it. I showed her videos of the process of the dreads forming and she still wants it which is awesome.. I told her 2 years ago she would look great but whatever.. I'm gonna find those tools and see if I can do it! Great video!
This man made me to become one of the loctician who knows better to use crochet, since I've seen this I started watching this video I became the best one
I can watch your videos over and over again great job
How awesome and adorable that she is crocheting while He is crocheting her hair :)
And Beautiful job, you both look Lovely.
This man’s hands are beautiful... I became distracted by his hands lol

@@KrisMcDredI'm going to look for you too. Anybody near Pearland?
I wanna say thank you sooo much for the break down, my bf has dreads and I've been looking sooo long for a proper step by step for locking it.... It was clear and straight forward thank you
Im debating if I wanna dread my hair. Dread locs are beautiful.

yellooh Just Do It
msjdavisxo I want locs but my hair is thin 😢
kyle you can have your locs thin! There’s thin locs. I’m sure you’ll look beautiful regardless! 💜
Me too
I feel like the Holy Spirit is guiding me home to how we were ment to look....no make up
No perms
Just the true you
Great job.. I have been licensed cosmetologist since 97.. an have been natural for more than 20 years lots of braids afros all type of styles great job. ( you are crocheting the actual hair to knotted up to look like it has been there for a long time but just an illusion wonderful job)
This is such an amazing video, very effortless and neat! Thank you!
I always wanted to repair locs for my clients, i started doing locs in mid 2016 and realised that many people had locs that needed repairing coz some clients had locs that were weak mid lengths or at the top and were about to fall off. I didn’t know how to repair them and still leave them looking great until i came across your video.
This really came in handy and i practiced first on kinky extensions until i mastered the art of it then transferred it to my clients. This took everything to another level in that through this technique, of using the crotchet needle on locs, i met someone very very special and dear to my heart. I can’t thank you enough for your kind heart to have shared your skill and talent with the world. God bless you abundantly.
I also locked my hair personally because of mastering this technique and people look at my locs looking so neat and wonder who did it for me. They don’t believe me when i say that i did it myself!! 😄 Currently it’s as long as my pinky finger and am enjoying the journey. Thank you so much!!! 😃😃😃 !
The day i ever meet you, God willing, i will give you a very big hug and thank you in person. All of my clients are extremely happy with the outcome of their hair, all thanks to you and the Most High !
You are left handed?? omg you are everything!! My Kings, super talented.
my hair is not lock yet Wat will I do
For the first time am commenting on loc tutorial... this one needs a million views .. Simply the best🔥🔥🔥
‘I can’t show you how to do that but I can explain. I’m just crocheting’ 😂😂😂
Im currently trying this method on my own hair. Non of the locticians in my area have heard of this method. So I'm gonna do mine then stop by every shop and show off lol. Thanks King!!
My locs turned out great! I left 2 of them undone just so I can stop by and actually showed them the method. It's only two loc shops in my area and when I tell you they were amazed lol. Thank you for inquiring!
@Dearly Beloved no problem!
she's crocheting while he is crocheting....awesome.job
This video made me start using the crochet method on myself and anybody willing to let me use it 😂😍😍 I love your work king
Love this... Absolutely awesomeness. I've learned so much from watching your vids. Much gratitude
Hands down the best dreads tutorial I've seen. I need mine done now 😅
This was a well put together video for informational purposes to assist those intrested in the method. I enjoyed watching how this method is done. For EVERYONE who has or had a problem with the way you've presented this method they shouldn't have bothered to respond in the first place because this was obviously not intended for thier journey. Great video King on YOUR method.
I agree
+Roletta Goldsby Thank you very much for supporting my "journey". :)
This is amazing, absolutely flawless ❤
This man is gifted!!
Finally the best interlocking video I’ve seen. You explained everything right. I’m definitely doing interlocking.
I cannot believe this!! I’m supposed to be getting my hair locked tomorrow and I need this man to come to Atlanta and do my hair ASAP. I need this in my life
Me too!!
Did they do a good job locking your hair? If not, what happened? What did they do wrong? If they did well, are they located in Los Angeles?
I need him to come to philly
Where to find u
AichaAubrey I Want him in Atlanta also. If you find someone in Atlanta to do your please pleas please let me know
