    Could you describe yours then, or find a video showing a method similar?

    Do you still crochet the loose hair in your dreads back in worldpeace?

    Also, when you say it doesn't "work", what do you mean? It looked like it was doing something...

    well the crocheting done there looks more like braiding. It's better to backcomb and then use crocheting for tightening. The guy in the vid is just making the hole dread by crocheting.

    but either way, i think crocheting is not the best way to start dreads. the reason i crocheted making dreads was because people wanted instant dreads (looking good from beginning). I find that only backcombing gives a better result in longer time.
    Don't have vids of my crocheting

    Yes I still crochet loose hairs back in, but not to much lately, once in a few months.

    well,everytime i used wax my dreads looked moldy and glued in place ,now i'm just letting my hair lock up by itself,the wax would always coat my hair and make it greasy not really helping it lock at all,just making it look very unclean.now all i do is wash and keep them clean.
