#crochet method

Morning all, It seeems that winter will never end, and that there just isn’t enough coffee to go around these days. Have hope, please, it’s 50 days until Spring. Bernat’s Yarnspirations baby blanket yarn isn’t worth the cost of the yarn. It’s basically crap yarn. However, there is one thing it is useful for. That’s critter sweaters. With the right hook, you can make one in an evening for a…

Hair…

Crocheting dreads is just bad all around, no good can come from it.

Dreads are meant to get all loopy and wispy, that's part of dreading. Dreads are just knotted/matted sections of hair, loops and bumps is the process of hair knotting up into dreads. When you crochet those away you undo the process your hair has made. Not only that but with every sove of that hook through your hair you rip up the inside of the dreadlock. This makes the dread weak --long time crocheters have had their dreads break off from all the crocheting-- and all those broken hairs start poking back out, meaning you have to keep damaging your hair to tuck in the wispies you're created.

If you stop crocheting now you’ll be just fine. You’re gonna find that your dreads will loosen up a bit —maybe a lot— and you’ll get a bunch of little hairs poking out —maybe some long ones too. This is your dreads undoing everything you’ve done with a hook, this is progress. In just a month or two, possibly even a week or two, you’ll discover the most amazing bumps and loops, enjoy them, embrace the natural state of your hair.

If you want to pay me, I'd be happy to blog whatever you like on my blogs. Otherwise, I'll blog the truth, thank you very much.

Crochet Method IS damaging.

Crochet Method IS time consuming.

Crochet Method IS pointless.

Firstly, crocheting is absolutely unnecessary. All hair will dread up, on its own, without the use of any tool or method to encourage its development. Why do something so pointless?

Secondly, crocheting is time consuming. I cannot believe how much time and energy some people devote to this method. My loose hairs have done incredible things all on their own, why waste my time forcing them to do things they don't want to do?

Thirdly, it is damaging. I don't care what anyone says, ever, if you honestly think this method won't damage your hair, you're an idiot. I tried just once, planed on doing my entire head, and just a few shoves through one dread told me enough. I could hear the hair ripping, feel it pulling, and the small part where I did crochet felt unnatural and damaged. Every push and pull of that hook through your poor dread is ripping up hairs inside.

Fourthly, it is unnatural, and looks funny. Look at dreads that have formed with out hooks, they are typically as big around as the section they derive from. Crocheted dreads are much smaller because they have been woven too tightly. This puts unnecessary strain on your hair, and especially on your roots if you dread the entire root --healthy dreads will have an inch or so of undread hair at the root.

Any one of these reasons would be enough to show me crocheting is bad, but four... I'm amazed people still think this is a viable and healthy method to use on your hair!

I found the most exciting and fun part of dreads was seeing what they would do over time. So it was a little messy, and yeah, there was a lot of loose and frizzy hair. Pull it back and get over your vanity.
