Step 1: Choose 2 colors of yarn, make sure to get a polyester blend. Cut 6 lengths of each color double the desired length of your dreads. | Step 2: Gather all of your yarn lengths and fold in the middle thread through the center of a hair band then pull the tails through the loop (center fold of threads.) Pull your threads tightly, then go back and pull each individual thread tight. | Step 3: Now loop your hair band on a door knob (if your hair band is too loose loop it a few times but situate your threads so they hang down.) |
Step 4: Take the black section in one hand and the blue in another then twist them. Tie off the bottom with a small rubber band, this can be hidden later with beads if you so choose. | Step 6: Take a wet wash cloth and dampen the dread. | Step 7: Heat up your flat iron (or a regular iron if you don't have a flat iron for hair.) This is why getting a polyester blend of yarn is important, the heat will seal the dread. You may have to repeat Step 6 and 7 a second time. |
