New Dreadlocks - First Month Week By Week

If you want to see more videos of my dreadlock journey, please subscribe to this channel. Also, leave me a comment if you have dreadlocks, have had dreadlocks or thinking about starting dreadlocks.

This is a weekly progression of my new dreadlocks during the first month after being started.

I show clips after 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks.

After three days my dreads looked very similar to when they were first started. Neat. Tidy. Yet fuzzy from sleeping on them. I have 54 baby dreads!

I washed my dreadlocks for the first time at 5 days of age. This was simply due to how itchy they were. Itching happens because the hairs were being pulled into the lock shape all over my head not because they were dirty or anything like that.

After the first week, I got my first loop which was really excited. Loops form when the loose hair is being pulled by tighter hairs around it.

At two weeks my dreads still looked like normal hair but also starting to tighten up. I decided to wash my hair then put it up in a ponytail to go to work that day which I do not recommend. This is how dreads can start smelling bad.

Three weeks in the loose hairs are everywhere. This is totally to be expected! Getting loose hairs is simply part of the process of maturing. I will most likely get my loose hairs taken care of with maintenance but that is another video. :)

After four weeks you can see all the loose hairs around my face. This area of hair is what Layla called "transitional hair" and therefore it doesn't like to dread or at least stay in the dreadlock. At this point, I had only washed my hair 3 times and usually wear it up in a ponytail-headband combo. I also like to spray my hair with distilled water and essential oils in the morning. I like the smell and it helps me wake up.

My dreadlocks were started 4/28/18.
