Artist's Comments

I have made MANY dreadlocks, real and synthetic. This is the method that works best for me. It is easier and produces a more realistic looking dreadlock.

Hair to use
Kanekalon is the best choice. Its cheap and knots up easily which is what you want when making dreadlocks. Don't let anyone con you into buying expensive hair.

This is neat. I don't know why I never even thought about making fake dreads. I have wanted dreads, but, good god, I didn't want to ruin my hair like that. Thanks for posting this!

i know :( canada fails sometimes lol. but in the next couple of days i think i can get my paypal to work. except last time i tried to set it up, you know those two litte deposits that they are supose to put in your account to confirm it your account? i never got them. so i clicked the button to resend them to my account, so im just waiting the 2-5 business days for that to happen. wish me luck :) cuz kanekalon is the only reason i signed up for a paypal account!
