Using a crochet hook to comb out dreadlocks

I was browsing YouTube a little while ago and watched a long video about sewing machines—it was posted by a nice lady with dreads or dreadlocks—and then I somehow came across a video where someone uses a 0.8 mm crochet hook to pull dreads apart again. That thing must really sting if you prick your finger with it.

This doesn’t really have anything to do with the forum’s topic, and I don’t have dreads or anything like that.
I just admire the patience of the woman in the video, who spends two months undoing dreads with a crochet hook
and still has plenty of dreads left.
If you have dreads, you can also use a small crochet hook like that to weave loose hairs into the dreads, so to speak.
Does this fall under “YouTube educates?” Things you wouldn’t normally look into?
What do you think of dreadlocks? Would that be something for you? Not for me—I like my hair the way it is, and I’d rather crochet with a hook than fiddle around in my hair with it.
I just think it must be extremely hard to get them undone again, and that it definitely can’t be good for the hair structure. I somehow don’t think they’ll ever look as good as before after you’ve fiddled them apart. But I mean, dreadlocks are a form of individual styling these days that a lot of people clearly like—otherwise no one would do it. So it’s probably also true that more people are affected by the question of how to get the dreads out again at some point.

Do you know of any other alternative uses for craft supplies or crochet hooks, etc.?

So dreadlocks would be roughly a kind of crochet felting without a washing machine, but with real hair instead. ;-)
I’ve heard that for dreads, you rub silica through your hair to make it rougher and wash out the silicone residue from shampoos and conditioners. That’s more or less the opposite of what you’d usually want to achieve with a conditioning treatment.
I’ve always assumed that you have to cut off dreadlocks if you don’t want them anymore. It’s news to me that you can, so to speak, comb them out again. I doubt the hair will look as good afterward as it did before the dreadlocks.

I once asked my cousin about this. She used to have dreads and spent three days straight combing them out—or rather, pulling them apart with a crochet hook. And afterward, she had wonderfully silky, smooth, healthy hair!
I wouldn’t have expected that myself!

I wouldn't have thought that either, but good for your cousin.
@sundown: Crochet felting without a washing machine, but with real hair instead ;) Well, you're right, even if it sounds weird.
 

Dreadlocks aren’t my thing, but if someone likes them, then I’m sure they’re great.
