Lovelife090994 aw thank you

Charles Yamabe You are welcome. I am going to start using rubber bands on my retwisted roots to help them stay maintained. My hair may be Black but it is soft and hates staying twisted... Love and blessings!

BIG POPPA G LOKS Thanks! I'm glad the videos are helping you out.

Awesome! Thanks for watching

Deja Davis in narnia 😂

Deja Davis he seems gay

Girl I so agree lol!!! I always say good girls can't find good men because there at work just like u are lol!!!

=)

Awesome glad to hear it

I agree! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!

How did I miss this comment? Ha

Charles Yamabe - it only took two years!😂.

Space Case I don’t know how I missed it? Better late than never! 😃

I appreciate it!

TODI Seismic your dreads are perfect B

call me stress HA!

Awww thanks!

Thanks!

Yeah I can make a video for you. I can't claim that I was the first to do the hat method... But I didn't learn it from anyone else. Really I was just trying new things until I figured it out.

Awesome thanks!

Rey Barrera my hair was wavy

Thank you

D_Vyne Black Krown Thanks!

Aleana Medina I would say use the same maintenance steps minus the rubber bands.

ti marie Thanks!

Thanks!

My bands are permanent... I just replace them as needed or move them around as needed.

Charles Yamabe Kool thanks

Thanks

Lindaaa aaa Thanks! You don’t need money to start dreads.😃

Charles Yamabe I'm too scared to start it on my own lol but my nearby salon said it would cost me $700 soooo I might as well try it out, trial & error. You have the perfect dreads that I want, nice & neat not Tarzan crazy 😂 & I gotta keep it it neat for my profession aswell

@@lindaaaaaa6465 did you ever start your dreads?

Andres H I leave them in.

Batmanfun 3498 I had pretty wavy/curly hair

How do you see the back and top of your head ? I’m going to look thru your older videos to see if I can find anything - thanks for getting back to me - your dreads r very nice

Thank you!

?

jernigan six KZfaq was acting up apparently. I posted that comment on another of my videos and it went here. Disregard 😃

No worries. =)

Classy Hippie yeah I do because it makes for easy maintenance

Cool! I don't think I've ever seen them like that. They look like you don't have any flyaways. :)

AGshambles So it depends... The ones at my roots I switch out every couple weeks or so unless they break. The ones that I use to fix a loose spot I just leave in until it falls out. The rubber bands I use seem to hold up pretty well.

I mean to be able to give it a clean cut look for jobs and other public places, or this is a question for the Hair Stylist?

Petko Bankov I mean you can start dreads at a short length of hair. The issue then would be that the dreads wouldn’t lay down properly until it grew out. But as far as having long hair until you are ready to dread up... I would just pull it back.

@@CharlesYamabe Thank you!

Thanks

Hahaha well what can you do?

@@CharlesYamabe mock tales and some good vegetation, oh yeah, and yeah V8 bloody Marys for those nutrients if vitamins. Lol Shit bro with all the time it feels like I could have cut my Dreads and your's too! And stil have new locks like aged like fine cheese with all this time of quarantine. 🍻 Brewskys up Homie

By maintaining the roots the fly aways get pushed into the dread

rottweilerneworleans easiest thing u can do for wispy ends and loose hair is crochet. If you ever go to a salon they will probably tell you they don’t crochet, but it is a form of interlocking, so they will offer to rootflip or latch hook. Crocheting is not a form of interlocking, despite what people will tell you. I wouldn’t recommend interlocking for thin or straight hair in general. So to answer your question, crocheting.

Every two to four weeks

AddieTheBrave can you shoot me an email or message in Instagram with a picture? It’s hard to give a correct answer if I can’t see the situation.

Charles Yamabe I’ve sent you a message via Instagram! Thanks a million Charles

guttersnipe you’re a dirty hippy? Like you don’t shower and don’t wear deodorant?

I think I do. It’s real simple just rubber band and trim the ends.

@@CharlesYamabe the last time I had em I just tried rolling em in my palms it worked over a long period of time. Which I guess I have haha.. Right now mine are just over 3m. Probably nothing I should do now though right? Thanks for the reply bro! And I just found u il looked more at ur vids after work.

Miranda Orona I just watched your video. The first concern I have is that they are really thin dreads. Not to scare you but dreads that thin without proper maintenance could have the tendency to break off. Actually with the proper maintenance they could still break off. But let’s hope for a the best that they don’t and everything will be fine. Going back to your original question... Yes you could do them yourself. I couldn’t tell from the video how well they have locked up? But the maintenance is really easy for dreads. I’m not sure why she put honey lemon aloe in your hair though? You can probably skip that. If they are locking all you really have to do is palm roll and keep an eye on the roots. The rest is just a waiting game.

thank you for replying..lol my vidoes it was hard to see cuz of my lighting but i feel like they have started the locking process?? il go ahead and post another video so u can see better but i know there really thin i wanted them thin i pray that them breaking apart isnt to much of a bad thing?? ..lol yes the mixture she used i really didnt like my hair right now just feels very sticky i soooo want to rinse my hair in the shower but im scared it will mess them up ...but its been driving me crazy all morning on rather or not to go back to her or just finish working on my hair on my own so i really appreciate your feed back. im going to finish on my hair on my own .

Miranda Orona did you wash the stuff out of your hair yet? I say do it and see what happens. Having a sticky head is not good and could lead to other problems.

Charles Yamabe i literally was about to right now but was really confused on rather i should or not but thank you for letting me know to do so lol

As often as needed

It's not a stupid question. If anything its an original question. No, Ive never had any issues with them melting. I've been in some pretty hotclimates and they have been fine.

@@CharlesYamabe Thank you for the fast reply, i love your videos about dreads.

I've had some of my rubber bands disintegrate after being in my hair long enough while being exposed to the sun, hair washes, and being tousled around enough. Usually it has formed into a more solid dread by then though.

Thats awesome

By knotting them up the new growth get knotted back in

Charles Yamabe and u do this with the hat method correct?

I think we can all agree that a lot of hippies have dreads. Certain styles definitely fall into the hippy category. I myself am a bit of a hippy... I just happen to be a clean urban hippy. I find that it’s usually the more wook hippies that ironically enough tend to be pretentious. I’m particular not pretentious.

@@CharlesYamabe Not woke - just awake! aha cheers

kanyedian 😃

I’m not against it if that’s your thing. I’ve never done it and don’t think I ever will. I’m more about keeping the roots tight. That way when they grow out you don’t need that much work.

Charles Yamabe I’m definitely going to do what you do, those are the dreads I want and the top of my head is SO FLUFFFFFFY I feel like a kitty cat people keep petting the top of my head lol

Charles Yamabe so how old are the dreads, mine are baby dreads so can you use elastics in newer ones - just like you do here

kqln Oui, c’est exact.

@@CharlesYamabe Merci beaucoup :)

Thanks

Jackson Krigsman are the dreads already started or are you starting from scratch?

gorgoroth Glad u get. A lot of people don't understand that

That’s why I’m afraid to try rubber bands. My hair is thin as is.

Hanzo's Brother It's not just the rubber bands. It's a combination of the root twisting method and the rubber bands. I think it can work for almost all hair types.

Nope, my hair is too thin. It'd become one with the rubber band.

@@tbaker4171 Dude. My hair is thin as a motherfucker around the front/crown... Like Jonathan Davis type thin. Rubber bands work. You want neat dreadlocks? Use the rubber bands. You might have to do 'em a little tighter if your hair is thin (3-4 circles, I'd recommend.) Do them as tight as you feel necessary-just use your own judgment and common sense. Meaning don't go overboard on the tightness, & DEFINITELY don't go too close to the root. I like rubber-banding mine 2-3 inches away from the roots. I feel like that's as close to the roots as you should be getting. Obviously if you want tight roots-do as Charles instructed in the video; using the hat-rub method. I personally do prefer the slightly-loose roots look, but to each their own. I pretty much have firm roots; they're tight, but just loose enough to conceal my scalp.

Dennis Chheng yeah

Charles Yamabe damn shits clean af! I wanna do mine but idk how

Dennis Chheng well that’s why I make these videos. I have some that show how to start dreads.

Venge I’ve never crocheted.

Charles Yamabe it's dope though bro. 🤙

Thanks!

I have many answers. 😃

@@CharlesYamabe i have straight hair one of my dreads is very loose, my loctition didnt give me any help and i am clueless on what to do

Jill Franklin where is is loose? Do you mean throughout or at the roots?

@@CharlesYamabe from root up about four inches

Jill Franklin what method did they use to start them? That seems like a large are to be loose. Were they actually finished with their work on them?

Neptune TheZimbo pro tip... Make sure the hat is clean. I would wash it with a soap that doesn’t have conditioner. Oh and the more textured the better.

Darlene Walker not everyone that has dreads is a dirty hippy. But there are most definitely dirty hippies.

kissmehere35 I'm confused by your comment. What works for one doesn't work for the next... But rubbers for most get tangled? So you are saying for most people it won't work? That's a bit of an over generalization don't you think?

My comment is very clear what works for u doesn't work for all.

Jarrid Pennypacker I don’t hate free form dreads. They aren’t my style.

Michelle M - I believe you have mistakenly identified my confidence and experience. I always say do what you want with your hair. I prefer a different style than others and that’s my choice.

Jessica Spencer Why? Because there are hippies and dirty hippies. You can be a hippy and not dirty. But many hippies are dirty hippies or wooks if you prefer.

Lol

Silver star sounds like a risky move if you have fragile hair. Also sounds like a tasty issue... MMMMMMMMMM cotton candy.

Lol. I wouldn't do it then. You gonna wake up one day, jump up; and leave your locks on the pillow.

Kam Iam She took offense that I didn’t include her subsection of hair issues...
