I have already started my dreds with crochet and Jamaican mango and lime gel. Thx Gunther Da Great
Do a video on Young Don The Sauce Gods dreads he recently cut his dreads
Yeah he should
You from TikTok
Yhyh he should, like this one
Tug boat no it’s on his vlog channel
@@tugboat4811 💀I'm from yt like 2015
Im starting my locs with a sponge to
Same. I’m trynna do that Harry samba style. I’ve always just rocked a blown out Afro or a Mohawk/obj 2016 type of cut
nice i’m doing it wit a towel
Same
Same
When you first start it looks mad ugly so be careful
Nice chase keep up the awesome vids we love seeing the progress of your hair ✨💜
For people with straighter/slightly curly hair. it does work you just have to know that it is very messy and all over the place you have to put the effort into it to get the results. It’s a very very long process for it
Personally I think that’s the best method for dreads tbh
Only for short hair
but it takes forever with short hair and a crochet needle locks up your hair in like 20 mins
I used a towel my dreads are pretty long but I don’t use a towel anymore
Lol my hair pretty long that shit forming
@@shakir7194 yea but you not gonna get the same look/texture
I’ve been using a sponge for about a month now with 4C hair and 3-4 inches length of hair. It’s worked wonders and now I just need to keep the roots locked so I can wash my hair more often.
The luxury of having 4c and dreads.. 🤣
yep having 4c hair and getting dreads is a flex im on my 7 month, they are starting to droop down the sides,
Try locking gel and twist the roots
do you comb out before yoju use the sponge? Ik this prolly sounds stupid but my comb comes tmrw just wondering
@@hours5461 for the first time yeah I did, but if u want it to loc up, ideally you don’t want to keep combing it out bc combing just detangles your hair essentially but the tangling of the hair in sections is what causes locs.
brooo it’s been a min since i’ve seen your channel, didn’t realized you cut yours off, was there when you started your old ones
I'm a semi-freeformer. Havent had my hair done in over a year and a half. I made an appt to do maintenance on my parts thru means of crochet! I never liked the everlasting maintenance of manicured and palm rolling locs!
I started my dreads with a towel and it came out pretty good
I keep reading about towel what does that mean?
@@shaquilleirizarry3950 microfiber towel put gel conditioner on it or put the gel or conditioner in your hair first then do what u usually do with a sponge
@@Tjspurpose thanks for the info dude
I'ma start mine with using a towel
Edit: switched over to the sponge
did u start?
@@xoxobrazy I've started twice since then, I had them, then I just cut it, and now I'm doing it again idk why
@Melcarab Rpurnell Depending on how old your son is and his hair type, i would say go the traditional route like seeing a loctician at a hair salon. Now Semi Freeform dreads or Freeform dreads on the other hand is alot easier and cheaper since you just have to do bare minimum like sponging the hair frequently, and washing it like every 2 weeks. Me personally to save you some time, he should start off with a sponge and work his way up. There's tons of videos on TH-cam about starting dreads with a sponge in case you need help and so the dreads don't get outta hand since it is freeforming, most people start off with a sponge and once the dreads grow long enough, they get it maintained or retwisted. A prime example of this is what artist XXXTentacion and Scarlxrd dreads look like. What I usually do on the daily is rub my hair with some water and then sponge it, and you can go the extent and use jamaican lime locking gel to help it to grow. Now If your son hair is long and he wants to start, it'll be a longer process.
@Melcarab Rpurnell I will lol
No dish soap needed! GreatLocs back at it again with the hair care
Why do i see a comment from you at least twice a day..
What!?!? 9k subs with no vids?!
Ur like air, ur everywhere
@@ramanman9792 justin got 565k
Excited for your next set. I did interlocking and my dreads are doing very well rn. Been almost a year since I started.
Beautiful video
Hey I love ur videos...bcz of u I want to get dreads locks
When u going start dread journey I want to do a same time
Thanks bro for this video
Bro ur hair grows so fast
I got 3A hair but my hair is very thick. So I’ve been using the sponge and it’s working good so far
Update?
@@Krackatooah no update 😥
I’m starting my dreads is Scarlxrd dreads a medium
If I’ve already been sponging my hair everyday for like a year should I pick it out and start over or just stop sponging and let it lock?
My hair is 1.5 to 2 inches and I just started my freeform journey
guther you should react to afro perm dreadlocks
Please wet your hair before sponging to avoid breakage
Why
@@xcheckeredboyx1288 ...
@@xcheckeredboyx1288 💀💀💀
Kinda controversial tho, wet hair is more likely to break than dry hair
@@Stophatingalready dry = less flexible
ima do this journey with u
I've been growing my hair out sense 8grade started out with full head then whent hightop In 9th I'm in 11th now and I've just been having it in 2 strand twist and braids over qorinteene my hair got dummy long ,😂 it reaches past my chin now well the two strand twist do I haven't seen my natural state in like 3 months but Ik when I take out the twist my hair gon be huey freeman afro😂
That’s what I’m doing. I wanna start my dreads now and by the time 11th or 12th comes around I can two strand twist them
@@MigoFetti *I spell things wrong on purpose it's a bad habbit of mine I just be lazy 💀*
How often should I wash my hair? Do I pick it out every time after a shower (before I start this method)
i have more of 3A 3B hair should i use the flat side or the textured side
I'm starting the journey soon I'll re edit this and the date
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't see any difference between when you started and finished. 🤷♂️ However I have been using a sponge for a while and it works great. I saw results immediately.
Anyone have advice about my hair tie basically slowly sawing through straight hair every month? By the start of a new month I can pull on them and have to reattach. All of them get soft spots exactly where I have to wear my hair tied
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
idk if you respond but will it help if i use Jamaican locking gel (i have 3c hair)
Use the spiky side it locks faster and makes them longer
fr?
@@sWaYedClan yeah
can you keep using sponge even if you already have dreads?
I wish I had this kind of hair like curly fro all around
Is it normal for the dreads to bunch up or connect at the tips at the beginning of the journey
Ik im latw but How many inches is eye length and is it long enough to get dreads
This is specifically for great locs there is a sponge called twist king its 12.99

What sponge would you recommend to us that are bald.....
Can you do a video on how to get the weeknds freefrom dreads
Would this work on straight ish hair
Bruh, I have straight hair, noodle, but i dont have who can make dreads for me:(
So I have a 4c hair type and it’s been 5 mo and I don’t think my hair has even started buding yet. I’ve crocheted it in the past but I don’t think it’s making a difference. Any advice?
Don't mess with it every two seconds and be pacient
Mine were started with freeform and crocheting and interlocking, my hair is 3c/4a and some of it won't lock on it's own😅
Hey great locs i have straight hair is it possible to get freeform dreads with short straight hair or not anyway bro i love your tips and tricks my g keep it up

When you wake up and hair matted do you pick hair out or you juss sponge again ?
No For Me I Just Wake Up And Mess With My Hair A Lill Then Towel Rub Or Sponge It , You Can Check Mine Out On My Channel
KirishimaReacts but when I sponge my hair my hair doesn’t get the nappy look lol Mine does similar things like yours and curl up. How can I fix ?
Duke Dennis Jr I Don’t Really Think Thats Too Much Of A Problem My Hair Used To Do The Same Thing I Just Kept Sponging And Towel Rubbing And Sleeping With No Cap On , And It Just Does What It Does , Your Hair Will Come Upp Bro
When u get a re-twist how long are you supposed to wait to wash ur hair
Wash your hair when ur done with the retwist and you and u want new growth again
Wolf what would be the point in the re twist if ur just gonna unravel it?
It's been 2 years since I started my locs with a sponge
Any results?
How do you maintain it will sleeping?
bonnet
Ayy✌
how do you wash your hair when you have starter sponge locs?
DONT WASH YET give it 1 month
then wash it but not to hard
You should do xpertthief aka Kevin dreadlocks
i started my mine with a towel
That’s what I’m using now. The only problem I have is when I go to sleep🤷🏽♂️. What do you recommend? I’ve thought about a due rag, but that will just flatten everything down.
True, maybe try sleeping with your head on the pillow where it doesn’t touch your hair, or try to keep the durag loose when you sleep with it
Get a bonnet, it’s kinda sus but only to go to sleep it works
Just pick it out with a pick and sponge it
Bro me and you have the same hair type
How do I take a shower while I have my sponged up hair it just washes it out
Cant wet your hair till it locs up
U gotta be committed tho’ 🤔
Didnt this dude just have waves
Doesnt sponge damage your hair?????🤔 I got 4c btw
I used it and my hair is fine
It was a matter of time
Idk how many times this video was posted😭😭
2
literally 🤣
Hi
Do you use this every day?
yes, you can use it whenever you want, but im not sure how long you have to use it for
@@donbedtmm I used mines everyday I have dreads now it took like 6 months.
@@airjones45 im just starting out with mines, do i comb my hair out before i use it everyday or just wet and dry my hair then just use the sponge?
@@donbedtmm I wet my hair and used it after. Don’t comb it at all if you want dreads. Also I trimmed the amount of times I would shampoo and conditioner my hair to like once a week. Washing my hair made the starter locks go away when it was still new. Eventually they will stay in after you wash them I can’t remember how long it took.
Ive been sponging for 1 month do you reccomend crochet hooking my locs?
@Tsuvex thanks
I started with rubber bands
bro i have 3b, so can i use it?
Yes
@@somethun5063 i have tried it, but does'nt work
What’s your hair type
Great video! I am also using the sponge method! I have 3c hair but i cant get my hair to lock up. I wear durag at night etc. Soon as I wash my hair, it immediately unravels. Can you help me?
Don’t wash your hair until it locks up. If you have to wash your hair put a stocking cap on and lightly rise through to keep your hair from unraveling.Pat dry. Also get a cheap spray bottle, fill with water and lightly spritz hair once a day and let air dry so hair will loc up more.
i really can’t believe uu gave up on yo waves...uu were my inspiration...not 360 jeezy or pb da goat...now i’m on my wave journey by myself😔‼️
Just do dreads with him
Waves....🤣😂
This guy said waves

Hey! So everytime I use the sponge for dreads, all it does is clump up my hair into Congo’s, do you know how to fix that?
Split them with your finger
Bro my hair is literally thicker than urs and I can’t get dreads
Wym how
