Making Dreadlocks

Backcombing

You will need:

Dread Wax

Residue Free Shampoo

Metal Comb

Rubberbands

I recommend the DreadHead Supa Dupa Dread Kit:It has everything you need and they guarantee your hair will dread.

1. Wash your hair with a residue free shampoo and let it air dry.

2. Section your hair into sections that are 1 inch by 1 inch. You can use

rubberbands to hold the sections while you section the rest of your hair.

3. Start in the back of your head, remove the rubberbands and start teasing the

hair towards your scalp. Only backcomb about a half inch of hair at a time,

this will keep your dreads from forming loops.

4. Once you have finished backcombing the that section of hair, put a

rubberband on the tip and one on the root. Add about an M&M's worth of wax

to the dreadlock and palm roll it.

5. Do this to all the sections of hair.
