hay,just a other ?,im seeing pics and folks have got bits string/wool round each dread how do i do it cos it looking nice and i want some in my dreads.just thru wi washing my hair,i sprayed dh acc b4 the shower,and fingers crossed my hair wnt all be undone, thanks ali x
ir wraps can be done 2 ways temporary speed wraps or semi permenant macramet wraps speed wraps u take several colrs tie em round the roots leave all colors straifght along the dread body except the cfurrent color u want showing wrap that many times around then switch colors..atend u can braid the leftover or knot it macremet theres many decorative knots that u can use t create fancy effects that also make the wrap last much longer instead of taking 1thread and wrapping take 2 and crossing tucking 1 under the other this creates a spiral psttern of alternating colors if u cross them the oposite way they wontspiral but leave 2 ridges of knots along each side u can use just 1 and tuck it under itself to crete a single edged spiral u can lok up ter fany knots but thiose are the basics used most often tis will make them last years even if theyre hemp or at least a year if wool speed wraps ten to start fallin apaert after just a few washes yes u can wash with em in they will be lil stiff the1st few washes then becomemore flexible the hair inside will tighten with each wash oh with the knotted version u can add trinkets and beads and stiff to make em fun
um ok thanks but lol i must b daft,cos it sound a tad complicated.ill just go by what that lass drew on the other post bout dread wraps.and hope i do it write.just tie a knot at root,then wrap round n round n round,or criss cross if im using two diff colours?? sorry if i sound daft ali x
those will fall apart in a week or 2 the knotted version can last months or years its not complicated at all i can do it and im a moron..lol try this take a pencil tie 2 4 oe 6 different collor threads around the eraser end now lay all except 2 down the length of the pencil the other 2 that are left out have them pointing in opposite directions take 1 in front of the dread 1 behind and stick it under the other so now they point in the opposite direction they did pull tight repeat if u keep going in the same direction u get a spiral if u reverese directions with each knot u get a flat sraight edge with 1 color on each side insread of alternating colors (or u can use 2 threads same color if u like) after u do like 10 take those threads lat them flat against theshaft and choose 1 or 2 others to continuer with its really simple
no..i tried and it was all just alotta squigly lines and stuff.. the description was way better then the drawing but the same methid of knotting is used to make bracelets and stuff so im betting u can cfind pics if u do lil searching
5 paGES ON GOOGLE AND ALL WERE JUST KITS OR BOOKS OR VIDS FOIR SALE NO ONLINE INSTRUCTIONS EXCEPT FOR THE CRAPPY SPEED AWRAPS THE BETTER WRAPS U WOULD MAYBE HAFTA GET A BOOK OR DVD INSTRUCTIONS.. OR BETTER YET GOTO A GATHERING, GO TO TRADE CIRCLE AND ASK AROUND WHO DOES EM AND WATCH HOW THEY DOI EM..ITS EASY AS HELL the better more fancy knotted versions just take lil longer but they also last much longer
aww how sweet thank you,u had a look for me.i dnt want anyfing fancy,just so long as it looks nice in my hair.i mean mayb i should wait a few more weeks,as my hair still needing time to knot up and mature wee bit,only guna b 8wks on friday thank you ali x
