How to fix the hair sticking out the locks ends?

I keep twisting them and trying to knot them but its not working. They just unravel again.

 

singe them with a lighter, they will lock quicker.

 

Ahoy ... work them into the knots with a needle and needle threader

 

fire

 

crochet hook or time are (in my experience) the only thing that have ever blunted my tips permenantly.

don's idea, though i have no personal experience or know anybody personally to reference, i would imagine would work as well. just a little more time consuming and i'd imagine harder to do to yourself. but i'm sure that would work too.

 

fire seems kinduh crazy
i may try the needle idea
thanks

 

cut them off

problem solved

 

patience, yogi bear

 

I think the needle advice was more for getting loose hairs into the body of the dread, I dunno about blunting your tips this way...

 

What kind of monster takes fire to their dreads? D:

 

headlice is the key
yes they will make your head itchy.. but headlice need shelter to live.
They do this by making little knotty homes in which they can live and sleep.

These mirco knot homes they create are an excellent foundation for dreads to build upon

 

Just tip rub often, don't put fire/poo/lice/thread in your head

 

OP i thought you were growing dreads on some sort of spiritual path or someshit.do the sadhu style their hair?

 

LOL!

:cheers2:

 

put wax in closer to the tips and roll, after that put some bead or something to hold the tip or close to it.

 

wow, does that really work?, perhaps i wont have to singe my locks after all!!!

 

why are you pimping wax in every one of your posts?

(sorry for the giant run-on sentance)
are you working for kboy or dreadheadhq sent here to spy on us folk's smart enough not to look like douchers, in an attempt to get us to buy their products by promising us sick looking dreads by doing nothing but spending 4 hours putting greasy crap in our hairs every couple of days so as to have our hair not move around anymore and stick straight out of our heads and grease up our pillows to give us all acne/backne and then FINALLY the end results will be shaving our heads because either, A) we get sick of our lifeless, ugly, sticky, greasy "supa sweet dreadpeppa'd up killa locks" feeling disguesting when we touch them, and sticking to our faces, or B) all that caked up supa dank dreadwax made lots of mold grow in our hair and we started stinking like old shit on top of our new acne/backne look and my mom made me cut them off because she didnt want them in the house anymore....

and if anybody ever reads that mess of the english language i just made, especially you jimmy.....

i'm only makin' fun because i'm trying to save you.

go upstairs, turn on the shower AS HOT AS YOU CAN and melt that bullshit out of your hair. trust me, i dont even need to see a picture of your candlestick looking "dreadlocks" to tell you that you look like a fucking doucher right now. those are not dreadlocks, they never will be dreadlocks, and you really are fucking your shit up real bad, just so a few months from now you can decide that they are not worth it and cut.

once you remove the wax, they are going to look like asshole for a while. this is good. this is what you want.

after they are done looking like asshole you will have dreadlocks. they will be healthy, nappy dreadlocks. and most importantly, they won't be silly looking cakey nasty grease sticks.

read around this forum to see that you really dont need that crap. you will find plenty of horror stories. not to mention wax actually PREVENTS your hair from actually forming knots and becoming dreadlocks.

 

OP, do you have pics? Are you trying to blunt the ends or just get them to knot up? Pics would be hlepful.

 

if it ain't broke... don't fix it.

 

I don't really want to get into this shit storm of a "conversation" that blows up every time someone mentions wax. But I used it in the beginning, In moderation of course, And I must say my dreads look relatively good.
