I usually take a towel and press every individual dread, and then i blowdry them, always works for me! =)
Ha! I was just explaining this to a coworker of mine last week when they asked me what I was doing Fri night. As for the original question: towel wring, wrap, blow dry, sit around, blow dry and sometimes a third round of sit n' blow - depends.
my dreads are still wet from 2 days ago but thats cuz Ive had them in a bun,miraculously they dont smell............yet.
I always wanted to squeeze my dreads in a vice before blowdrying, that would have worked. (maybe with plywood boards in the vice?) Next thread... Flat dreads!?!, what am I doing wrong?
