Loose hair tool for thin dreadlocks

How to use the loose hair tool (or the Latch hook) for thin dreadlocks maintenance.

I have already posted an article about how to use the Dreadlocks loose hair tool here, but if you wanted to try this maintenance method on thin dreads you wouldn't be able to, especially if you are using a big sized hook. Because it would be hard to get the hook all inside the dread. so it is better if you try doing it this way (see video below)

It is the same procedure, except that instead of getting all the loose hair inside the dread, you keep getting it in and out untill it fits in

I must remind you though that this tool I am using in the video and in the previous one is not the dreadlocks loose hair tool that you could find in dreadhead hq or Dr dreads or any other dreadlocks related shop. This is just a latch hook that is why the tip of it is different, and that is why it is a little bit big in size, it shouldn't be used for very thin dreads.

There are other issues you need to be aware of while using a dreadlocks loose hair tool, a crochet hook or any other maintenance tool:

1)- It is very normal to have loose hair before your dread mature, there is nothing to panic about 

2)- Do NOT use any maintenance tool unless you really have to, using tools on your dreads all the time may create holes and might do some damages.

3)- While using any tool on your dreadlocks, use it gently, do not pull hard, to not be violent to your dreads.

4)- Be patient, make peace with the fluffy frizzy loose hair around your dreadlocks, it is normal to have loose hair all the time that will eventually end up locking itself.

I hope that this Dreadlocks maintenance post was helpful to you.. More coming soon, stay tuned

How to use the loose hair tool (or the Latch hook) for dreadlocks maintenance.

In this video here you can learn how to use the loose hair tool for your dreadlocks maintenance:

The loose hair tool for dreadlocks looks like that:

The loose hair can be a very annoying problem to people with dreadlocks, dealing with it is one of the reasons why dreadlocked people invented maintenance. The Crochet hook is one way that could help you get all the loose hair inside the dread, but crochetting dreadlocks reqired a little bit of skills, I'm not saying it's hard but using the lose hair tool is much easier, anyone can use it on their dreadlocks with no problem.

You can find this dreadlocks loose hair tool in dreadheadhq stores, or you can get a latch hook at any craft store.

How to use it:

A)-On the root:

1. roll the loose hair between your finger
2. find the dread that the loose hair belong to (or the closest dread it could fit in)
3. roll the loose hair between your fingers and thumb to make a small hair ball
4. measure how long in the dread would the loose hair take to fit entirely inside the dread
5. insert the loose hair tool inside the dread slightly above the point you measure (to make sure that the loose hair wouldn't come out when you pull out the latch hook)
6. slide the tool all the way in the center of the dread untill you touch your sculp
7. pull it out, hook the hair ball and close the latch
8. pull it back inside the dread untill it comes out 

and that's it, all the loose hair is now inside the dread and going to lock with no problem.

B)-Anywhere along the dread:

You pick all the loose hair around the dread but only in 2 inches area, otherwise it's not going to be easy to get it inside. The rest is similar to how you use it on the root, pull inside and pull out at the base of the loose hair, hook the hair and pull it back.

You can also use it at the tip of the dread to get the hair back inside and give the tip of your dread and nice round shape.

This is one way among others that can ensure you a good dreadlocks maintenance.. I will post more articles about dreadlocks maintenance soon.

Peace and Love
