sugestions for hand made dreadlock goods......

.......I was just curious what kind of things would you love for your dreadlocks that you have difficulty finding. I make alot of crochet headbands and tams but i want to branch out to other things. I also sew and have started making up some dreadbands too.

Let me know and il have a bash at making something

 

I like tying my dreads up, but find regular hair bands too small, weak and they don't look pretty. It'd be nice to make a band that can hold all your dreads up in a bun/ponytail but still look really nice...

 

if you want a quickfix for the band issue, holygiblets, try the top inch or so of a good quality sports sock. just cut it off and use that. it seems to be the perfect size and its soft so it wont damage them i always have several chillin on my wrist lol and all my socks have no tops.

 

yeah i was thinking the same thing the other day!
good to see were on the same page
Il see what I can whip up

 

Thanks for the tip! I'd be interested to see what you could come up with Arlia!

 

oooh, i like this thread. i agree that ponytail holder alternatives are a great idea. i think i'm gonna try making some stuff too. then we can all post our results here!

 

yeah go for it

it will be interesting to see waht we come up with
