prob turns out good if u do it once.. but if you keep poking at them, you totally break hairs and make them stiff and uncomfy... i destroyed my dreads with a 0.75 hook... i should have figured that poking in relatively tight dreads would lead to disaster i totally blame myself.. when i combed them out alooot of hair was lost.. and i had to trim 5 cm of totally destroyed hair... tho i would never recomend a needle for dreads, the deadliest is to keep poking there.. never do it..
hair is fragile

sheresa ..this is knotty john a member here not knotty jonny clean of dreadheadhq ..i was wondering why all the anger and refferences to horrible dreads and products till i realized u were confusing the names haha now i understand but wanted to clarify
and hannah my comment about ppl not realizing how horrible it is was more to like youtubers who go around recommending it desoite the fact they just pulled off a dread while demonstrating how to do it

used hook: yes
satisfied: for the time, yes... in the long run, no.
for the time (when i started my interlocked and backcombed dreads) they were helpful in keeping the tips from unravelling. it also helped me keep a more organized look for work.
in the long run - i can see which dreads have been damaged from this (thin spots) as well as - i realized it was more work to keep hooking all hairs in - and much easier to leave them to do thier thing.. they eventually grew in to the appropriate lock)
most of my tips are now rounded - which takes forever and a couple days to fully dry.. and yes they are a bit tighter now than i would like as well.
size: 1.9mm
