The video is extra long, but the most important parts are probably the first 3-4 minutes, and the final one minute. The rest of it is just me following the rules, and documenting it all.

I do plan on trying this out again in the near future, with darker colored hair. the wax blends with the dread color so you don’t really get the full effect in the video.

Once again, if you want full details and discussion, go check it out on the forums at http://dreadlocktruth.com

I started running my mouth a bit. :) But basically, it’s the same ol’ thing. Just me, applying wax. I know it’s boring, but I think it’s important to document each waxing no matter how boring and unexciting it is. :-P

Thanks to that person I mention in the video, I was planning on some outdoor activities, recorded for your viewing pleasure, to see ow the waxed dread holds up against dirt and debris compared to my non waxed locks. I’ve never had a problem with dirt before, and I was told that wax won’t make dirt stick…so I wanna test this to see if it’s true. Please leave your comments, and lemme know what you think of this idea and if you’d be interested in seeing it!

And remember to visit the forum http://dreadlocktruth.com/ for discussion and details, as well as friendly dready Q&A and conversation!!!

Maintenance can be done by yourself or by someone else. Note: the smaller the crochet needle, the tighter the locks.

The needle should poke into or through the base of the hair so that the hook of the needle pulls little loops out. This is done while the other hands index and thumb is pinching the section being poked. Twist the hair being pinched and keep poking the needle in making loops. Focus on making the dread lock look even unless lumps are intended. This style was learned in Bangkok Thailand.

The smaller the needle the better, my favorite is the .7 mm. Start my sectioning off the hair, this should probably be done carefully in rows like cornrow style. tart with one section about 1 to 2 inches in diameter, sectioning the hair in circles or squares. Then pin the rest of the hair out of the way using bobby pins and small ponytails. Tease the hair towards the base, then begin to use the needle. The needle should poke into or through the base of the teased hair so that the hook of the needle pulls little loops out. This is done while the other hands index and thumb is pinching the section being poked. Twist the hair being pinched and keep poking the needle in making loops. Focus on making the dread lock look even unless lumps are intended. This style was learned in Bangkok Thailand.
