First Time Dreads!

PLEASE PLEASE Explain how you make them so perfect!!! I CAN NOT get them to come out so smooth. They look horrible when I do them!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Ehhrm, how did you make them? They're neat but I think they look like sausage-y "Shirley Temple" curls.

i agree real dreads are messy i was disappointed when i made my first set of dread that they lookeds so scruffy but it then occured to me real dreads are very rarely all neat and tidy so i have some plain twists and some scruffy old lumpy bumpy dreads.
i do get concerned though when they fuse together due to them being so gnarled and synthetic

I started out using this tutorial.

I TRIED backcombing and all that, but they didn't come out at ALL....

they are way to neat. as a girl with dreads for the last 2+ years you'll know right off the bat that they are fake because of how utterly neat they are. dreads are messy, they have hair sticking out, fly aways everything and even the best maintence doesn't always get them all. nice but if you want dreads that pass for real, mess 'em up a bit

great! dreads is the one thing I always wanted to try but age/job/husband makes it completely out of the question. Very cool!
