the truth about crocheting dreadlocks
every time you push a crochet hook through a dread to pull in 1 loose hair you break dozens maybe even hundreds of other hairs. this slowly weakens the dread, while the broken hairs then find theyre way back out requiring more crochet to pull in the hairs broken by fixing the damage caused by crocheting
this process never ends
year after year you continue dammage and dammage repair till the dreads are so weak they break
the average crochet dread requirews 5-15 hours work a week
in addition, the dreads get a very woven look this looks very different from thre natural growth so crochetting must continue to keep that uniform woven look
if you crochet in the beginning a few times then stop you can recover
but continued crocheting will become a lifelong habit
its not worth it
the average crochet dreads take more work per week then i put into mine in 20 years
why make extra work for yourself?

okay, i've been curious about crocheting (as i assume many other ppl with messy new dreads have been) and i'm one of those people who likes to try something before i decide how i feel about it and after reading as much as i could and watching videos etc. i finally got up the courage to buy a hook and have a go. i decided to approach it by being as gentle and slow as i could and hopefully do as little damage as possible. also i decided to only do one dread, one time and then see how it responded. the result?? there is absolutely no way in hell i would let anyone near me with one of those things EVER. every little bit of motion was mangling and breaking hairs no matter how slow or careful i was. sure there were less loose hairs at the end but man it was like putting my baby in a straight jacket. i got half way through one dread, threw the damn thing in the bin and started praying for forgiveness. ill take fuzzy, healthy, happy baby dreads over hard packed prisoners any day! hope this helps those who are on the fence...
peace :)

hi, im new here and i need help, i have crochet dreads for about 3 months but after reading all that ppl said about crochet dreads i found its true all that stuff about weak dreads and all the maintenance i have to do, so i wonder if i stop crocheting them my dreads will grow up more natural, i mean i want my dreads look natural, i would like to start my dreads from 0 but its impossible now because i cant unlock my dreads, so here is my question, if the new growing hair is going to be like natural dread, and if it possible what should i do to help the process
sorry for the bad english, and i hope you understand what i mean
