The
Unnatural ways to make dreads/Making dreads FAST
•
Dread Perm
• Silky Dreads
• Loomed Dreads
• Dread Extensions
*You
have to go into a salon to make dreads with these methods.
Your hair should be at least 3 inches long.
You
will need:
1 Metal Comb
1 jar of DreadHead Wax
1 Bottle of DreadHead Shampoo
1 Bottle of Locking Accelerator
1 pack of rubberbands
1. Wash your hair with a shampoo that leaves nothing behind. I used DreadHead shampoo, and I think it works great.
2. Section your hair into sections that are 1 inch by 1 inch. You can use rubberbands or clips to hold the sections together while you section the rest of your hair.
3. Next you will begin to backcomb the hair. Take the rubberband off the section. Spray some Locking Accelerator on the dread. Wait until the Locking Accelerator dries, then start at the root and tease the hair towards your scalp. Only backcomb a small section of hair at a time, this will keep the dreads from forming loops.
4. Once you have finished backcombing the dread, put a rubberband at the root of the dread and one at the tip. Then add a little DreadHead wax to the dread to make it look nice.
Backcombed dreads look just like dreads when they are finished and take about 3 months to lock up.
Your hair should be at least 6 inches long.

1. Section your hair off into 1 inch by 1 inch sections, you can use rubberbands to hold your sections.
2. While washing your hair, rub your head in a clockwise motion. You can switch hands while you are rubbing, just make sure you are still rubbing the hair clockwise.
3. After you finish washing your hair let your hair air dry, then pull apart the sections, where the rubberbands are. If any rubberbands break during this process just put new ones on.
4. After you have pulled apart the section, palm roll each section. You can add wax after you have palm rolled, then palm roll a little more.
The dreads will look similar to dreads after you make them, and they will look like real dreads in about a month. They will take about 3 months to lock up completely.
Your hair can be any length.

With the Neglect method you basically do the least amount of work to your dreads so it will take them longer to lock up. With the neglect method you can choose to wash your hair or not. I do recommend washing your hair because it will keep your scalp from getting dandruff. Waxing is a natural product to use on dreads but with the neglect method you also can choose to wax or not wax. Waxing help condition the hair so it won't break. Aloe is also a natural product your can choose to use or not. Aloe also helps condition the hair. The choice is yours.
The Neglect Natural method takes 6 months to two years to lock up.
