So I decided to finally film this video on washing dreadlocks, which is kind of the topic most mentioned in the comments and the topic I receive the most questions about. I'll be talking about how I changed my habits of washing, new dreadlocks, what I use to wash and how and waxing. I hope this answers some of all the questions I receive, but I'd like to note, that things change over time, and the content of this, might not be true in two years from now :)
Please try to keep a nice tone when commenting and note that this is only my personal opinion and experiences and that this is definitely not true for everybody - And that's perfectly alright. You should do exactly what suits you! :)
Thank you very much for watching! I hope you check by my blog www.galapril.com or my Instagram @galaprilcom
I'm happy seeing your videos, thank you. I tried 2 times wax on my dreadlocks couple of years ago and I've still some residues in some dreadlocks. So I confirm, don't do that. You don't need to do that!
ReplyDeleteI can tell from my personal experience that washing dreadlocks helps them lock up. But then it's really important to maintain them in some way. It actually works like wet felting : D.
ReplyDeleteI've been a little jealous of your dreadlocks since I discovered your blog (more than 3 years ago I guess). I had dreads 3 times (once I made them using your tips) but somehow couldn't stand them for more than a year or so. I think I'm jealous even now, though I don't really think I'll turn my hair into dreads again.
hi, I'd like to have same dreadlocks than you (I don't like too nice and too round) but I don't understand all your video in english... is it possible to write your method to begin that? I saw video with your sister but I don't know how much lines I have to do or how much time to keep elastic on the roots and the ends? and after, how keep it with new roots? thank you :)

ReplyDeleteThank you for making all your videos with nice instructions :) There is one question I wanted to ask for many years but I am always too bashful. Today I decided to try. Could you please make a video carefully showing us your roots and how they have formed? Also we can see in detail, the pattern you used when segmenting/partitioning hair, especially at the front and back. Sometimes dreadlock roots are thinner than the middle bits, I am sure lots of people would like to see how you tackle this issue. I understand if you don't have the time right now with school. Anna, you are brave to keep making these videos. When I read comments sometimes, they are not always nice. People do not choose their words carefully with kindness. And they ask silly questions which you have already answered. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteNice video and thoughts on this, sometimes, controversial topic.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning I washed mine around 3 weeks after it was made. Nowadays I wash every two weeks with coconut soap. Has been working for me for the past 6 years :)
I am so obsessed with your locs, theyre gorgeous. I am currently in the process of brushing out my first attempt at dreadlocks which only made it to 4 weeks ): but after finding your blog I am so excited to try them again! your hair looks so healthy! how do you maintain your tips?
