DREADLOCKS:

HOW TO GROW DREADS


How To Dread Your own Hair

Day 2:

That was a long day. Was too tired to melt all the wax in so I'll do it today.


After sleeping with pantyhose on my head my dreads sorta flattened out a lot, so i just tried palm rolling them as much as possible and working the wax in there...I took a few more pics...there still pretty wild and frizzy and quite a mess... Palm rolling is taking the dread in your hand and rolling it like a piece of play dough into a nice round piece. Considering it's a mangled mess use 'nice round piece' definition liberally....

Day 3:

Today I woke up and my dreads were really flat and pasted on to my head...so I took some pics then tried to palm roll them a little....there's loose hair everywhere...they really are a pretty hideous mess right now.

They are the worst after sleeping where they get all mashed up and stuck together from the wax.

Palm rolling helps a little bit but is tiring. Pictures before and after palm rolling.
