  Step 1

  Take your back combed dread and crochet hook.

  Small crochet hooks are better, I use a 1mm or smaller.

• 

  Step 2

  Put your crochet hook in the dread and snag a small section of hair.

• 

  Step 3

  Keep that first loop of hair on your hook and put it back into the dread, snagging another small section of hair.

• 

  Step 4

  Pull that second loop through the first loop, leaving you with one loop of hair again on the hook.

• 

  Step 5

  Repeat this process down the dread, no need to be neat!
  Just snag parts randomly around one side of the dread.

• 

  Step 6

  When you reach near the end of the dread, just pull the final loop loose.

• 

  Step 7

  Repeat the process of the other side of the dread, pulling in the puffy parts of the dread.

• 

  Step 8

  Semi-seal the dread by hanging them up outside or other a bath/sink. And pour boiling water over them.

  Leave to dry :)
