Dread locks can be maintained using only a crochet needle. 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.
