If you make dreads from these directions show me the results


A lot of the instructions for making fake dreads are hard to understand so this is my attempt to make one that is easier for people to figure out.

This is the best tutorial i've seen yet.
But I have a question;
How much hair do you need if you want it to be like these?

I used this video nearly a year ago to make a set for myself. The first time I sealed them, I obviously did something wrong but ended up sealing them with a wet washrag and a flat iron and then dousing them in Aqua Net. They still start to fall apart but I just reseal them.

I have pictures on my myspace, here where I obviously added a lot more too them. I always get tons of compliments and refer people to your video when they ask.

I'm going to try my hand at double ended next..

dzenifr [2007-06-25 23:18:55 +0000 UTC]

That's a really well done vid, I'm impressed. You could even take screen shots from it and make a regular tut, and it would work just as well.

When I had longer hair, I took yarn and braided it into my hair so that I had long braids, then as it grew out became dreads. And if some of the yarn parts fell out, I braided it in like you did to attach it back. It's fun making your own hair styles!
