Step by Step Instructions on How to Make Dreadlocks
First of all shampoo and dry your hair.
After your hair is completely clean and dry, neatly segregate hair into different sections using ponytail holders.
What width of the strands (dreadlock) you want depends wholly upon you. If you desire small dreads, take ΒΌ inch strands and one inch for a standard dread.
Begin from the back of the head. Take one section of hair and apply beeswax on it if you want permanent dreads. You can even opt to coat it with styling gel incase you want temporary ones.
The next step is to twist that section of hair between the palms of your hands starting about three inches from the scalp.
Keep twisting that strand down to till the end of the hair.
Next take the rolled section and with one fine-toothed comb tease it from root till the tip by sliding the comb up and against the direction of the hair’s growth.
Keep on with this process of twisting hair strands until you have completed the entire head of hair.
