My Dread Lock

A simple tutorial focusing in detail on the backcombing technique for synthetic dreadlocks. The single ended/single looped dread method is used, but the same technique of backcombing applies to double ended dreads.
This video was made for the hair extension forum members and fake hair novices who want to learn the technique.
Although there are plenty of tutorials out there, none rely purely on the technique of backcombing. But now there is.

Hair used were colours red (Janet/Gold K), neon pink (Modu) and purple (Kikko Silky bought from Cypherlox).

I’m also very happy with the results of dreads that I’ve seen from people who have used this video tutorial!

Quick video tut on the ever popular curly synthetic dreads! Requested by my friend Katie aka Violent Violet.
Original written tutorials by Delic, Doctored Locks and anybody else who I haven’t mentioned, please let me know!

DE made by the lovely Vicsarina of the hair extensions forum.

The DE doesn’t work so well because the fibres are known to be problematic so it’s not mine nor Vicsarina’s fault. They’ll come out a bit softer than other brands of hair because of the texture.

Metal rods tend to work better as they conduct heat. Pouring boiling water over them does work better than steam, but I’m using steam as an example in this video to save time (and precious HDD space)
