alright, i tried dreads already once and fucked em up had to rip em out, now im ready to try again but i dont want to mess up again...please all you dread heads out there tell me the best way to get them and all the details i should know ... ~Infrared Roses
well i backcombed, and my dreadies are doing beautifull so far, plz dont use wax, PLZ PLZ PLZ!! just backcomb, no wax, palmroll like crazy, and let them be
Just backcombing wasn't enough because my hair is so fine. I had to really tangle them. So, I did some backcombing and then I pulled the dread apart over and over, pushing the knotts up to my scalp. Eventually it formed a very knotted dread. Takes a few min. per dread I think. I then palmrolled the dread to make it tighter (without that you wind up with a really puffy dread). I hope this helps. Remember, it takes time for dreads to look good. In the beginning they look like crap, but after a while they start to take on a life of their own and they'll look way better (or so I've been told...). *hugs* Jessie
