Childish Gambino/Donald Glover has some free forming dreads going on. The look you want is actually simple to do yourself now too.
All you need is one of the curl sponges and a moisturizing product like Shea Moisture Curl enhancing smoothie or the curl and style milk.
Wash your hair, add some of the product to your hair and then sponge in a circular motion.
Really? I've tried a sponge one before and my hair ended up looking more like this. Do you know how Donald got his hair to look like that?
Donald has free form dreads on top of an afro, it's pretty easy look. Just give it some time for the free forms.
Thanks. Sorry for asking so many questions but how do you get free form dreads?
By doing almost nothing, tbh. Wash your hair only with water, keep your hair & scalp moisturized, and let your hair dread naturally. And no problem, you asking questions like this is why this sub exists in the first place.
That is normal. You may want to try twisting it once the curls have formed after using the sponge or have someone do it for you.
