If your dreads fall off and you&#8217;re using a crochet hook that means YOU are the problem, not the method. You&#8217;re doing something wrong!<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Saying crochet hooks make dreadlocks fall off is the equivalent of saying that forks make people fat. The problem is not the method or the tool used for that method, the problem is the person using the tool the wrong way!<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn to crochet dreadlocks, we highly recommend buying fake hair to practice on first. You&#8217;ll want to intentionally break hair and listen for the distinct &#8220;snap&#8221; so you know what breaking hair sounds like. And although that&#8217;s a great start, you can still damage old or brittle hair without hearing that distinct snapping. As a rule of thumb for crochet newbies, I recommend learning on fake hair first and then only crocheting your roots every 2-3 months. That&#8217;s a great way to avoid 90% of the damage you could otherwise incur.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How to avoid damage with the crochet method<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>1. Use the right size crochet hooks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Using hooks too large can actually cause more breakage than anticipated, yet using hooks too small can be frustrating for people just starting out.<\/p>\n<p>We typically use 0.4mm and 0.5mm crochet hooks for the work we do on our clients, however starting out will be easier with a 0.6mm crochet hook. And we also recommend using the soft touch crochet hooks over the skinny ones because of the ergonomic grip, and you have greater control over the direction the hook is facing, which is important.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;bottom&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;11489&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;http:\/\/amzn.to\/2EEtDUI&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;11490&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;http:\/\/amzn.to\/2EMXCt5&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3><strong>2. Avoid crocheting bleach or aged hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most brittle hair is bleached hair and old hair that hasn&#8217;t been moisturized. This hair is the most prone to damage and therefore should be avoided.<\/p>\n<p>Young healthy hair is much stronger and far less prone to breakage. The new growth at the roots is almost always the best hair to crochet since it&#8217;s strong and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Practice on fake hair first<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We always recommend to learn the crochet method on fake hair first. Doing this can really help you prevent damage to your own dreadlocks.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to intentionally break some of this hair so you&#8217;re more familiar with how it sounds and feels.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing we recommend is vigorously washing the extensions you make with the fake hair. Washing vigorously will show you if you&#8217;ve been effective or not. It&#8217;s very easy to make a dreadlock look good, but whether the tightness lasts or not is a different story.<\/p>\n<p>We walk you through the process every step of the way teaching you <a href=\"https:\/\/dreadlockcentral.com\/courses\/course\/how-to-crochet-dreads-and-instant-locs\/\">How to Crochet Dreads for Beginners<\/a> here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.

I&#8217;ve been told stories of crochet shops that compete with each other on the same street, and some people even grow out their dreadlocks just to sell them for profit. This shows the high demand for crochet dreads in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this method is much more scarce, forcing South Africans to struggle to find anyone who crochets dreadlocks the way they get it done back in their homeland. Many resort to twisting or interlocking methods which lead to their dreadlocks thinning out and breaking off.
