Thank you so much for this! youtube is crowded with people doing yarn wraps for faux locs. This is exactly what I was looking for (with 3 more styles). Awesome. Thanks again!
How cute! A nice way to add color without dyeing or chalking your hair. A fun punch of color here and there. Will remember this for when I get my locs going!
Been doing this for yrs LOL. Only other piece of advice is if you don't want it to be permanent use a synthetic yarn. Natural wool will bind with the loc. And stay away from shark's tooth decorations. Laid down wrong on one once and thought i was bleeding to death when i woke up.
I did this about 2 months ago and really loved the edge and change it gives to the hair. I plan on wrapping a couple more locs in pink to support a friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Great tut!
I remember those lanyard string designs! Those kept you busy lol My favorite is the crisscross design. But this gives you so many ways to be creative with your locs. Thanks for the tut! *
It's also good to help you see the growth of your local. To me it help my locs grow longer. I have two locks with yarn that have surpassed all my other locks without
Afternoon! My little sister has dreads and they have broken of badly and my mom wants me to yarn wrap them to help repair them. Could I use the same method you did with the first dread? and start from the root?
Alexis Brown I've had a few friends who actually wrapped their locs with kinky textured afro hair to thicken it, but I can't say for yarn (I've only seen it as a style) You should ask a licensed loctician who knows more about this, so you can be sure of what should be done...especially since they're broken badly :( If I hear of anything, I'll definitely let you know :)
I read that, on new locs, the first method will stunt its growth and loc pattern. My locs are 7 months old, shoulder length and have already started to loc. However, the ends of them are still puffy and frizzy from when I first got them installed. I'm not ready to cut the tips yet, but I want to minimize the frizz and puffiness (palm rolling doesnt seem to make it uniform with the rest of the loc). Would this be a good method for my problem? Or would wrapping it with kinky hair instead of string be a better option?
+omeganme It sounds like your locs are still in the beginning stage. Around that time, you'll still notice frizz and puffiness, so I would give your hair some more time to form. You should notice a difference around the 9month- a year. At the same time, it's normal, so don't get discouraged. If you're still not satisfied, it could be good to try the kinky hair method (I know people who have tried it) It helps with the loc'ing process. Also, a trim is great too (if you have the patience)
I typically leave it in until I'm ready for a change or until I get ready to wash my hair. Everything comes out (usually at the end of every month) Sometimes, it's two weeks.
I would probably just try the criss-cross style and wait til the 6month mark to do the others. I heard that's when the hair really begins to loc. From 6months on.
I usually snip the end where the knot is and take my time unraveling. Since wrapping and unraveling takes time, I normally stick with the cross-cross wrap style. It's just easier to deal with now that hair has gotten longer. And it saves time! :)
You can find it on Amazon goo.gl/5bWmNt or in the craft store called "Michael's" (that's where I purchased mine) The prices may differ depending where you shop. Amazon doesn't exactly have the same one I have, but others. You just have to shop around for what you like.
rahul sinchury I don't think they have a Michael's in India. Your best bet is buying online. I believe Amazon ships to India, but you can google to be sure.
Can’t wait to jazz up my locs doing this 😍

You're welcome :)
Thank you for actually showing how you tie the yarn after your done wrapping 🙏🏽😩😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes! A punch of color adds life! 😊 Glad you liked it. ☺️
Thanks for this video - this was so easy! I did a small section of my girlfriend's hair last night & she loves it!
Awesome! :D
Exactly what I was looking for, and beautifully shot. Thank you, 6 years later!

Novisha Rivera thanks for the info :) Good to know.
I would like mine to be permanent is there any particular brand you recommend?
Thank you so much I've been wanting to do this for a while and didn't know your video made it so easy.
You're welcome :)
Thank you! Your video was great, I appreciate the close ups. Now off to decorate my locks. :)
Love it. Can't wait to give it a try when my Locs are ready. 😊
Awesome😊
I love this video, wanted to do my locs in the first style but didn't know how and now I also have two other options...thanks so much!
+Veneicey Williams You're welcome :)
You made it so simple ❤️❤️

Thanks! I love the edge it gives too! It's awesome how you would do that to support a friend :) May God Bless her!

You're welcome! Those strings sure did keep me busy! 😄 I still have enough to play around with...lol
oh wow thanks so much for sharing. I must try this wrap a loc one day. I like the different colors you can choose from!!
You're welcome! :)

Thanks sis this was helpful
Gorgeous, I'm gonna try this, will make sure to tag you!!
Awesome! I'm sure it'll look great ☺️
absolutely beautiful!
Taylor Alexis Thanks!
Hi! Can you just wash locs like normal with this in Or remove before? So Glad I came across this video?
Sorry so late, but I honestly woudn't recommend washing your locs with it in. I normally wear it for the whole month before taking it out on wash day.
@@niquesoasis no worries, thank you! I was thinking probably so after lol I’m due for a wash and retwist now so I think I’ll try it!
Best tutorial I've found, thank you so much! Subscribing!
Nedanyetah Thanks! :)
Thank you for your content
❤
how long do you leave the string on dreads?
do you take out the string before washing dreads?
great vidoe btw 😊
Thanks :) I leave the string in for as long as I want really. Never had a problem. Whenever it comes to washing though, I do take it out.
I love your voice!
You are so pretty! Thank you for this video.
Thank you & you're welcome :)
I loved this video! Do you by any chance recall the brand of yarn? I'm having a hard time finding the multicolor.
I can't remember actually. 🙁 If I do come across it again I'll be sure to let you know.

just trying to find a way to keep my locs together... I use rubber bands, but after a couple of months they 'll just pop of after a while.
simply love it dear will definitely do the style
How long do you typically leave the wrap style in your hair? do you remove then before wash days or do they also get cleaned with your hair?
I typically leave it in until I'm ready for a change or until I get ready to wash my hair. Everything comes out (usually at the end of every month) Sometimes, it's two weeks.
I was thinking that would be the routine, totally going to try this out. Thank you!
She’s so cute. 🙂
Do you use loc jewelry?
can I use that to keep my future Congo locs binded until they Matt together.
Antonio Augustus I don't actually know, but you could question a loctician to be sure.
I can do that, thankyou soo much.
Can/should you wrap if your not fully locked but budding?
Angela Hite I wouldn't recommend you doing it just yet. Let your locs mature some more.
Dominique Dazz ok😔 I knnd of felt that but was hoping for a different answer😂
Can I do this to my starter locs. I'm 3 months in
I would probably just try the criss-cross style and wait til the 6month mark to do the others. I heard that's when the hair really begins to loc. From 6months on.
If your locs are small, I'd wait a bit.
Thank you so much mam can u suggest me one more thing if i search in Amazon what do i search can u tell me particular Name
You're welcome :) The link that I provided before features the brand I use. (Darice) goo.gl/5bWmNt
Thank u mam
Can you wash your hair with this in?
Tbh, I wouldn't recommend it.
Does this damage your loc because that is cotton ?
Tbh...I'm not sure. I never kept it in for a long time so my hair was always fine.
Exactly what string can i buy at Michael's?
skinnydop3 I buy the (Darice brand) beading twine hemp cord.
and I don't like twisting my hair, it's too thick, plus I'm always sweating from being active.
Does this leave lint on your locs?
Natoya Natasha No it actually doesn't.
Mam can u suggest me the Deadlock Gel name so that i can easily make deadlock
I don't actually use gel on my locs, so I wouldn't be able to tell you. Sorry bout that.
🔥🔥🔥💖😁😁
How do you take this the yarn out of your hair?
I usually snip the end where the knot is and take my time unraveling. Since wrapping and unraveling takes time, I normally stick with the cross-cross wrap style. It's just easier to deal with now that hair has gotten longer. And it saves time! :)
but I would like to have some Congo locs in the future.
Wher can i find this thread and what is the price tag?
You can find it on Amazon goo.gl/5bWmNt or in the craft store called "Michael's" (that's where I purchased mine) The prices may differ depending where you shop. Amazon doesn't exactly have the same one I have, but others. You just have to shop around for what you like.
Thank u mam
What is the meaning behind it ?
wait one loc.one hour???
Lol...well, that's really when I do the very close styles. And if I do them, I only do a small section on my loc. It saves me a lot of time :)
I live in india can i find here??
rahul sinchury I don't think they have a Michael's in India. Your best bet is buying online. I believe Amazon ships to India, but you can google to be sure.
