Better Synthetic Dreadlocks!

  • Completed Project: Better Synthetic Dreadlocks! Picture #1

Fake dreads for a beginner.

Heres my second attempt at Fake Dreadlocks.

They turned out MUCH better than last time, but I still have a really long way to go. I sealed with a blow dryer and steam.

Once I have the time to post a step-by-step tutorial, I think I will. But, I want to perfect what I've gotten so far.

Here's a hint at how much a fullset might cost you:
The photo I have was half the bag of hair, which cost me about $5 to make. You'd be looking at about $20 for a nice, fullset, maybe with multiple colors. The time spent could easily be about 2 or 3 days, which is how long it takes for things to ship online. :) Cost-effective! Checkyes!

I'd love to make these, but there has never been a tutorial I've understood. I'd love to see you make one that I could possibly understand XD. These look great by the way, good for a second attempt!
