So, my boyfriend's had dreads for about 8 months (ethnic hair & twisted). The other day he had me palm roll them a little & I noticed that his hair was thinning out at the roots. I told him to chill out and stop being so high maintenance, but is there anything he can do to relax his hair more and help save his locks before they start breaking off?

gotta love that woman's stupidity it's a natural product there's nothing natural  about that gel she's using on his dreads

Would twisting not only work on African hair, I could emagine that straight would just fall out, if it could only be so easy. I realy think the beauty of dreads is how they came about over time.

this is great, but im a black lockeer and i dont know anyone who twists then "neglects". If people do the twist method they usually do it every 2-3 weeks, which isnt bad. if you only twist 2-3 weeks it wont fall off. I PROMISE you the guys dreads in the video wasn't EVER neglected. and a light gel is ok and 99% of the time needed to re-twist. just make sure that when you wash your hair you use as hot of water as you can stand to melt out the old gel. but i do agree to NEVER LAY A HAND ON WAX. and its hard to find a light enough gel, so i usually water it down a bit so it doesnt mess up my hair

I have so called black or coily hair, and all i use is sea salt and pure water to keep the dreads tight and i put it in a stocking to sleep and they have stayed together very well, first dont comb the hair for at least a month and the hair will stay together when you twist them in their respective sizes

@ soaringeagle...do the twisting look ever come out of the locks? I'm freeforming when my locks actually lock.

Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on January 26, 2011 at 11:34am

yes absolutely just with white ppl hair should be avoided tiill mature unless very dry

Comment by Nancy Morgan on January 26, 2011 at 10:30am

Ahhh, this page helps a bit. My hair is extremely dry and much like the texture of black women. I already use products designed specifically for black women because they are the only ones I have found that help moisturize my hair. SO, from what I am reading here, conditioner is sometimes necessary?

twist n rips not really damaging if u dont do it too crazy be gentle and it works great without harm

Comment by Kris D. on April 20, 2010 at 10:01pm

I'm doing this method, hoping it will work for my hair. It's curly/wavy and pretty dry, dry enough to hopefully hold a dread in this fashion. I just don't want to damage it with the twist/rip method. here's to hoping!

ok so i just had a guy all worried he was going bald he was taking pills at twice the prescribed strength to stop the balding.. it turned out hes not balding just over twisting
it caused alot of bald areas around the dreads and weak roots

Comment by Orange Clock on January 28, 2010 at 7:22am

Does it matter which diection you twist

Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on December 19, 2009 at 12:18am

ok well then a loctician would schedule a retwisting every 2 weeks..its not nesacary but they charge for it so they suggest evcery 2 weeks..in fact they suggest you do that for life..why..i dont kinow i guess it sucks in root frizzies? those root frizzies will become baby dreads if left alone which is what id do..but..early on twisting as needed can keep the dreads together till they lock up..
soo thats whast i recomend, retwist only when they unravvel, then once they dont..stop...

by necxt year you'll probly have a doze4n dread babies between the dreads if you dont twist away at em all the time

its prefference though..if u need extra neetness twisat when u feekl u need just be aware it can slowly cause weakening at thye roots..evenj breakage if overdone..

you dont need to ayt all though to dread up unless they begin to fall apart

im african american.

Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on December 18, 2009 at 11:53pm

you dont need to at all unless they fall apart are you african? it matters,

it varries if your dreads come mostly unraveled..twist back into shape..once they hold shape consistently..stop..


and amount of
gell..not alot dip a fingertip in what sticks to the fingertip..
if after a dread or 2 its dry re-dip


it should barely moisturize it ..
once theyre formed and tightening if u get excessivly dry you can smear it on more thoroughly

Comment by Shawn on December 18, 2009 at 11:48pm
