This Wasn't Supposed To Happen Today...

Summary

Dre came in seeking to restore his dreadlocks after some had been pulled out and others had weakened and broken. He had saved the fallen locks, but the stylist first assessed the remaining hair and scalp to determine what could be safely reused.

The stylist explained that Dre’s two-strand twists had grown together. Trying to separate them by pulling them apart appears to have caused further damage.

Dre’s locks seemed clean, with no noticeable odor or buildup. The stylist sorted the saved locks, setting aside those too thin or damaged to provide a sound repair.

For the reconstruction, the stylist:

• Shampooed the reusable locks.
• Worked with Dre’s existing parting pattern rather than creating a completely new grid.
• Made some sections larger to give fragile areas a stronger base.
• Combined some thin locks rather than forcing them onto the scalp individually.
• Crocheted the locks onto the regrown hair, focusing on a secure foundation before judging the finished appearance.

The stylist emphasized that hair health and long-term durability matter more than making every loc look perfectly uniform. He also explained that unparted new growth can tangle together and form wider, flatter shapes, so careful separation may be needed.

While tidying the sides and back, he used water to control the hair without adding styling products that could interfere with cutting. He noted that shrinkage is part of Dre’s hair texture and that loc shape and uniformity involve deliberate styling and maintenance.

The video also includes a conversation about Dre repeatedly pulling at sensitive facial hair and a long-standing bump. Dre described the habit as difficult to stop; the discussion did not establish a diagnosis.

The stylist reflected that restoration takes patience, including working through an awkward-looking stage and making use of available tools. He also said he would handle parts of the haircut differently now, including leaving more hair at the hairline.
