gross

>>12561094
Maybe it's too short ? Try other methods aswell, using a sponge or something...

>>12561104
I tried twists but it was taking too much time so I crocheted them.
I don t think a sponge would work on me.

Here are semi freeform locs with no products , and less maintenance, but even freeform locs look better than mine

>>12561100
I know, but why ?

1. Buzz your head
2. Wash your head
3. ???
4. Profit

>>12561117
Get someone to help you irl??

>>12561094
Yes theyre locking, just let them be. Also stop using the hook, it's very damaging. Starting locs is already a long process and overmanipulating your hair makes the process even longer.

>>12561141
Buzz ? What does it mean ? xd
>>12561144
No money, and want to do all by myself
>>12561181
Ok thanks. How much time do you think it will take rn ?

>>12561229
>How much time do you think it will take rn ?
Until fully locked? Idk man your hair texture seems relatively loose so maybe 4 more months? Check out Gunther da Great on youtube if you havent already

>>12561312

XDDDDDDD ^^

>>12561181
How do I maintain my hair rn ? I was planning to lightly crochet the most loose locs

>>12561678
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>>12561094
you dont have the hair texture for free forming.
need to be really black for that.

>>12562704
What if I start to palmroll them ?

>>12561094
It will take about a full year for dreads to really take shape. Stop fucking with it and let it lock naturally. Just keep em separated to your liking

>>12562704
>>12563412
So, freeform or not ?

>>12563752
nigga freeforming means not touching it. which you obviously are doing. leave the shit alone and quit messing with it ffs >>12562704 does not know what theyre talking about because i know mulattos with free formed dreads. get your shape and stop caring

>>12561094
Firstly, I don't have black hair so take this with a grain of salt.
When I had my embarrassing white girl dread locks I did crochet hook, but that's more so for white hair because our hair is more difficult to lock.
Try using bees wax, they usually sell it at black hair stores. I would take a bit in my hand and rub it into my palms, and then roll the hair in between my palms. It will help to keep the shape and moisturize them.
When you go to get the bees wax ask the clerks at the black hair store what they recommend, they'll hook you up.
You can also try taking small black elastic bands and tying them at the root of the loc to keep your sections separated and even during the beginning stages. Sometimes when you're starting out, locs will start locking together or becoming uneven in size.

I thank G O D erry day that i have luscious Caucasian hair. Just have to shampoo/condition that bad boy once or twice a week and i am gucchi. Now i know why black people are mad all the time lmao
keep fighting that good fight my basketball Americans

>>12564594
my sides have reached the stratosphere

>>12564594
Can someone explain this to me because I think anyone that has touched black hair will know it's not coarse like this or any other tool used to clean dishes. It's not even ignorant because it's not so much a stereotype as much as it's just incorrect

>>12566185
don't cry

>>12566185
?????? niggers cry all day on twitter about white people touching their hair are you joking ??????

Either you want us to understand and know the texture by letting us touch it or you can stop complaining about misconceptions from people who haven't ever touched it.

>>12566208
intelligent responses
>>12566208
"because I don't know what black hair feels like and because strangers don't like my Dorito dusted hands running through their hair I'll just make jokes about it online"

>>12564594
10/10

>>12566233
do you have brain damage? be honest, now

>>12564594
Tbh I ( OP ) agree with that. My hair is horrible to touch but I m ok with that this is the reason why I do dreadlocks

Btw I have a curl/coils/waves Define Pudding. Can I use it to retwist ?

>>12566233
I think you missed the point of what I said. Probably because you're a dumb ape.

You can either have:
1) Most white people never touching black hair and therefore not really knowing what it feels like. Dealing with the resulting jokes that come from whites not knowing the texture of black hair.
2) Stop whining about white people wanting to feel black hair, allow them to do so to educate them about black hair. Hear no "misinformed" jokes about black hair.

Remember.. You can only pick ONE of these scenarios, you silly little monkey!

>>12566208
im white with dreads and its common for strangers to ask to touch

>>12565977
i have not washed my hair in like 4 years

>>12566313
Pls dont, the build up will be awful. Use a natural gel like aloe vera gel or flax seed gel

A gel like this ? It says " creates ultimate hold without flaking - non drying to scalp - increases shine and look of the - alcohol free " + it has aloe vera in it
