I'm semi freeform I don't retwist anymore... But I can never go back to trying to conform to eurocentric standards again. I like having freedom within my hair, did not have that before when I had relaxed hair etc...

I like freeform dreads because it's a hairstyle that I feel is most reflective of who I am as a person. You look at a person with freeform dreads you automatically understand he's thinking "fuck your opinion..". And while most are repelled or appalled by them, those who have it in them truly see it as art. The way the hair does what it wants and naturally develops a unique work of art; its amazing. Unfortunately for me, my family and workplace have 0 tolerance for such hairstyles, so I will eventually be forced to shave my head. (Until I have the independence necessary to do what I want.)

Dreadlocs, wicks , congo and whatever you want to call it. It's a journey some people they're short period of time some people that long period of time some people embrace it some people don't or some people just get tired of loc etc... are all factors to consider something such as the mirror reflection you referring in this video. Love the topic continue bring hot topics and putting beautiful content out there for us beginning to find ourselves & establish and what we're comfortable with/without locs is truly a reflection of our experience.

Man. I embraced myself a long time ago but had to cut my first set because my roots were hella thin and pulled a few of them out. Living with PTSD is also a factor. But I'm working on set two.

on my 9th month of semi freeform beard wicks. It wants to be one big loc so bad. Debating whether or not to let it. It's 3 big locs now. Man, the one downside is it gets caught in all my coats and sweat-shirt zippers and buttons lol Hard to turn my head. Whenever I think about cutting them, I sleep on the decision, and decide to not cut.

Another great topic for a video man. You always offer a down to earth point of view on issues concerning dreadlocks. Whenever I see a person with long dreadlocks down to their back I get the sense that cutting them would be too much for them since they have had them for so long and it takes time and dedication. I struggle with this myself and try not to tie my personality too much into the locks and just enjoy the ride. Eventually they will have to go. Happy holidays!

I have my locs for 5 years now will never cut them.. (Negroes/Israelites/aboriginal indians/moors) of America and the Carribeans always had Locs it was a law given by The Creator of not cutting off our hair. From Samson who had 7 locs to Solomon , they all for the most had locs.. "His head is as the most fine gold, his locs are bushy, and black as a raven." -Song of Solomon 5:12 They've been changing the word locs in other updated whitewash version to blind us from the truth.. Love your freeform locs/Antennas I hope you'll never cut them, True israelites appearance.. Peace & blessing brother !

Good question, I'll condense it best I can. Basically I've always been drawn to bigger dreadlocks, so me seeing them on other people pretty much confirmed me wanting them. I remember being in court and saw someone with long dreadlocks to their ankles, it was only about 4 or 5 of them and I said I'm going to grow my hair like that one day. So when the time came it was easy for me to just stop combing my hair.

ever since i was a kid ive always wanted to look like saiyans from dragonball z. i never liked the neat look really. i hate suits. i hate tuxedos. and ive always liked natural things. i hate doing my hair. anything or anyone that pulls or twists my hair sends me into a bit of a rage. so freeform locs was perfect for me. i think u gotta exist outside the illusion of beauty standards for the most part to stick with the journey

I actually have a question that might sound random but I’m thinking about getting Freeform Locs and I really do love them. I feel like they give off Godliness but I jump back and forth with this or getting braids or a fade for the clean look. But I honestly want something different & deep down I do want Freeforms. So my first question is how do I stay patient throughout the journey (my last haircut was a couple months ago)? My second question is how do make sure this is what I want? And my last question that I have is, is it wrong for me to want a line up or a shape up when my freeforms and beard fully develops? Because I notice many people with freeforms don’t get lineups at all
@JohnnyTheDred
Жыл бұрын
1. Staying patient involves a good bit of confidence in growing your hair this way. When you have the confidence you're not as worried about how it looks to people so you're able to just do your thing. Also, it allows you to just forget about your hair so to speak, other than keeping it clean of course. 2. You may not be sure until you actually go through with it. Think about other things as well, how is your life set up, jobs etc do you workout a lot, weigh those things and see how you might deal with them. 3. No it's not wrong to get an line up. I personally only edge my neck area up, never the front. But that's just a personal choice not because it's right or wrong.

Johnny and the rest of us pay very little money for upkeep and guess what or WHO IS MAKING OUR LOCS? GOD IS CREATING OUR LOCS. that poor mindset is the system or babylon with their hand up a lot of peoples asses controlling their very thoughts. through decades of programming to the subconscious mind on what is accepted and what is beautiful. especially melanated people in western society. big ups to johnny for not letting them control him and him tapping into his natural roots.
