This was helpful. My locs are a week old now (baby locs) and we are finishing up next week. I wasn’t sure about the dry palm rolling but I’m definitely going to start doing this more often. 😊😊

Oh heck yeah! Love the baby locs! AB’s get in there and love them often in the beginning. Now, if crocheted, maybe wait till after your first shampoo to start doing much at all. The first 6-8 months are the most important. After that, you’ll have muscle memory and a great understanding of your own locs.

These are great for if a person were “stranded on an island with just their hands” No other tools tightening or doing anything (except maybe a comb) If the locs were tightened with tools then I wouldn’t suggest palm rolling and getting too rough with your locs

I’m supposed you got a lot from this! Hell yeah! And if anything, that relationship is going to get better and grow more. Dry palm rolling is looking for “friction” more than “pressure”… from that, the friction starts to fret the cuticle and “eventually” the hair will begin to grab on and work its way in, It takes time. Also, just building muscle memory is helping along the way.

Great explanation about the bonds breakage in wet hair and the parallel you made with rollers and curling iron. You are the first person that I heard talk about dread as normal hair. I finally realized that if I don't set them, with palm rolling and root rubbing and so on, my locks will look like a mess. Also caring about our dreads without inducing breakage!! People rarely talk about it. From now on I will baby my dreads like I did my untreated hair. Thank you so much 🌺✌

Yo bro so much good info, should I be doing this regularly if I’m getting crocheted maintenance regularly. My loctition you might know her she has the channel wired and stoned taught my wife how to do it while she was putting and my lady actually seems to really enjoy it and wants to crochet fairly regularly what are your thoughts my man!
@locdoctorfell
6 ай бұрын
Lots of thoughts in there homie! First, no, I wouldn’t suggest much of the root rubbing if you regularly see a loctician or get crochet work done more than once a year. -separating is always a good thing Damp palm rolling is mostly important -the first 8-12 months and deli is most important then as well, yet great to take the cuticle and flair it up a bit (helping it grip to the outside) and always talk to your loctician. I frikkin love that channel and her content! Actually was just found a shoutout to her and decided to retract it and just keep doing what I do cuz I dont know her. If love to be in the same room and compare notes though. Her and I see the same a lot of what I can tell. Anyway, the advert is always consult your loctician on anything you’re thinking about doing. Second thing is more like, crocheting correctly (you won’t notice damage till years later) this takes building great muscle memory. And it can’t really be got till that, so practice on doll heads and maybe the loosygoosy hairs at the tips. Maybe practice blunting the ends a few times if you dint mind em getting fuct a bit. Then, maybe do maintenance. Orrr… Fukk what I say and do you boo boo, It’s your journey🥰🙌

Hey there! I'm going to attempt to start locs on my hair tomorrow, I've researched the many different ways to start and I'm thinking the twist and rip method? Also in diamond sections. I have long fine hair and was hoping to pick your brain to see if I'm making the right choice? Any feedback is definitely appreciated. I don't have a crochet hook currently so I'm wanting to start with a different method. Thank you and I look forward to your response!

That’s awesome! I hope your journey is all you could want and more. Really, if you’re separating and palm rolling, there’s not much difference by back combing or twist and rip(I prefer back comb and palm roll) to each their own… Ultimately comes down to the work you put in afterwards. The first two years are crucial with your palm rolling and separating and root rubbing., doing so those things, you can’t go wrong. Just gotta have a lot of patience and do the work(when going the slow, more Freeform way you’re describing)

I don’t use product much at all. If I oil (mid shaft to ends) I usually use an Aveda hair oil(though there’s lots of recipes out there too) and once in a while I’ll do a deep cleanse as well… other than that, just a quality shampoo, usually a bar from a local soap maker (as long as they don’t use coconut oil or “Castile soap”) and in the winter I’ll rock an Aveda or an AG moisturizing shampoo (desert climate is very dry in the winter on the hair)

Good video! Did you interlock your roots as part of your maintenance? I have straight thin hair (caucasian male) and just had my hair done 3 weeks ago into dreadlocks by having it backcombed and then crochet to have instant locks done but I told her I would rather not have the interlocking done at the roots as I don't like how it looks (scalp visible). I have a lot of loose hairs and fuzzyness, my maintenance appointment is at the end of the month, looking forward to having it "cleaned" up. I haven't washed my hair/dreads yet until before the appointment, just been using dry shampoo and coconut oil on my scalp due to flaking

Oh of course! It’s hard to help, not knowing where your journey is at. Beginning stages, separate and palm roll. Washing and rinsing well and getting them wet is important. (Swelling and contracting IS the locking process) Just as damp and dry palm rolling are both necessary. Don’t get them wet when they’re still tight… a week or two after maintainer is usually cool. I think that’s the most important things I can suggest from this stand point

@@locdoctorfell thank you so much for this reply. I am about 4 weeks in and I still haven't washed my hair, I have just been using dry shampoo. I haven't palm rolled much, tried using a hook tool to pull a few loose strands of hair into their closest locs but I have too many loose hairs that have either unraveled or didn't loc. My maintenance appointment with my loctician is at the end of this month and I thought I would wash my hair a couple of days before.

Separating should be almost daily unless you’ve just gotten maintenance done with your loctician. And I feel it’s the most important throughout your journey. Palm rolling is really important for the first year + or more… bring fresh starters, always going through them and forming them when they’re damp and rolling then dry, you’ll get to know them better, and be able to catch anything before it becomes a problem.

Just pay the money and go see a black loctician. If you want instant locs have them crochet to get you started. You will leave the salon with dreadlocks. Cost about 500 but well worth it for beginners who want same day locs.
