How to Make Dreads

Dreadlocks. They bring up connotations of hippies, pot, and Bob Marley. They can be real or fake, made with synthetic hair, ribbons, tubing, yarn, and anything else. They can be long or short, thick or thin. Personally, I don't like long dreads.

I like the look of short, baby dreads with a cute haircut. So, I am going to attempt at a baby dread.

Materials: a teasing comb, pomade(get dread wax), mini hair band.

Step 1: Gather a 1-inch section of hair.

Step 2: Twist tightly.

Step 3: Backcomb. If you have straight hair, do this a lot more than if you had curly hair. Tip: Comb upwards.

Step 4: Apply pomade.

Step 5: Secure with mini hairband.

I hope it comes out well. Wish me luck.

Sugar,
