The lesson itself is about how to make and attach an artificial dreadlock, so it can also be watched by those who want to weave Kanekalon. However, in the first minutes the master uses the weaving method.

How to properly care

In order for a tangled hairstyle to be beautiful and last a long time, it requires some care.

1. Locks are washed approximately once every 10 days, not more often. The first month it is better to do this even less often. Do not use balms and softening shampoos, they spoil the structure.
2. To wash your hair, it is better to take tar soap or the same shampoo. The usual one will not work in this case, because it contains aggressive elements harmful to dreadlocks.
3. There is an option for washing in salt water. To do this, dissolve two packs of salt in a bath of warm water.
4. Dreadlocks love daily attention. To do this, you need to “twist” them with your fingers in different directions in the direction from the roots to the tips.
5. It is advisable to make corrections once a month, picking up stray hairs and braiding the area at the roots.
6. It is better to remove artificial locks every 2-3 months and replace them with new ones.
7. Dreadlocks that begin to “grow together” need to be carefully separated with your hands from time to time.
8. Afro braids look attractive and impressive for a long time when the strands are periodically braided using the artificial Kanekalon material.

You will need

• - comb for combing;
• - hairpins;
• - hair bands;
• - wool threads;
• - hair wax.

Instructions

Assess the length and condition of your hair. After twisting, the size of the strands will decrease by a third, so 15 cm is the minimum hair length for this hairstyle. Keep in mind that dreadlocks will not improve the condition of your curls. On the contrary, after unbraiding, the hair may be seriously damaged and will need to be cut short.

Wash your hair with soap the day before dreadlocks. Avoid using conditioner to make your hair easier to tangle. In beauty salons, before braiding, a light perm is done for this purpose.

Divide your hair into sections about the thickness of your index finger. The optimal quantity is 20-50 strands. At the base of each dreadlock there should be a square with a side of one and a half centimeters or less. Secure the separated strands with hairpins or thin elastic bands. Carefully separate your hair so that short hairs from one area do not fall into another, otherwise dreadlocks may appear at the roots.

Use a special comb with teeth of different lengths to create backcombing. Comb each strand thoroughly, moving from the ends of the hair to the roots. This procedure may take several hours. The more tightly you comb your hair, the better quality your dreadlocks will be.

Twist each strand, rubbing it with your palms, until it turns into a dense hair strand. For volume, you can add woolen threads to the dreadlocks at this stage.

Form rounded ends of dreadlocks. To do this, carefully comb each end, twist it and secure it tightly with an elastic band at a distance of 1 cm from the end. Carefully treat each dreadlock along its entire length with hair wax.

Roll each strand once or twice daily for two weeks. Wash your hair with soap or natural shampoo. Do not use conditioner or balm. After two weeks, remove the elastic bands from the ends of your hair.

The name “dreadlocks” translates to “terrible curls.” According to the beliefs of Jamaican Rastafarians, when the end of the world comes, their god Jah will drag them to heaven by these locks. This hairstyle became very popular thanks to Bob Marley, the most famous musician in Jamaica.

The second creators of dreadlocks are considered to be Ethiopian hermits who secluded themselves in the mountains. Their hair did not know either soap or comb, it became tangled and grew back like that.

There are many methods for weaving dreadlocks, but given the complexity of this process, it is better to contact an experienced specialist or practice dreadlocks on artificial hair or for quite a long time.

To make successful dreadlocks, it is advisable to grow your hair to 15 cm or more, because after formation the length of the dreadlock is reduced by one third. Alternatively, you can lengthen your hair with artificial hair or add dreadlocks. The range of materials is very wide, as is the color range - you can even choose neon or glow in the dark.

Preparing hair for dreadlocks

Before making dreadlocks, you need to consider the number of finished dreadlocks and their shape. The greater their number, the thinner they are. The optimal number of dreadlocks is from 25 to 50 pieces, depending on the thickness of the hair. You can choose any shape of ready-made dreadlocks - from polygons. Usually squares or pentagons are chosen.

A day before you start braiding, you need to wash your hair with shampoo without conditioner or soap so that the hair is not smooth and can be easily tangled.

Immediately before dreadlocks are formed, the hair is divided into segments and secured at the base with elastic bands. It is important that strands from one segment do not fall into the neighboring one, otherwise dreadlocks cannot be avoided from merging at the roots.

It makes sense to decide in advance how to fix the ends of the dreadlocks: you can leave the ends free, or you can weave the ends into the dreadlock itself using a hook.

Ways to make dreadlocks

There are several ways to make dreadlocks, depending on the materials and experience available:

• weaving them or is the fastest and most painless method;


• twist strands, roll them up and tear them;


• you can leave your hair alone for 2-3 years, only helping the rolled strands to form, but few people have the patience for this method;


• you can comb your dreadlocks using a special comb and dreadlock wax;


• you can rub your hair with a woolen cloth or a brush with natural bristles until tangled strands appear - this is a harmful method for the hair; if the dreadlocks are unsuccessful, they will have to be cut off;


• you can curl your dreadlocks in a salon using chemicals;


• You can lengthen your hair in dreadlocks with artificial hair (kanekalon) or felt, a big plus is that your hair is not so damaged and you can choose different ones - from natural to neon.

Caring for dreadlocks, which are fashionable today, requires less time than other hairstyles. However, this does not mean that dreadlocks do not need to be looked after at all. Most often it requires braiding dreadlocks. You don’t have to go to a salon to do this – you can do it yourself.

You will need

• crochet hook, beeswax

Instructions

Wind the strand around the crochet hook two or three times and pull it through the dreadlock. You can simply wrap a long strand around the dreadlock. Gently pull through the stray strands until you are happy with the result.

If you want to braid the ends, then insert the hook through the tip of the selected dreadlock, hook the strand with it and pull it out on the other side. Repeat these steps until you have braided all the hair. If the procedure is performed correctly, you will get a rounded dreadlock.

If your hair is tangled, you can also braid it. Select a dreadlock and rub it to create a springy pad between your fingers and your head. Wrap the dreadlocks in one direction, and the hair that has come out - in the other direction. Insert the hook into the dreadlock from top to bottom and pull through the desired strand. Weave this strand into the pad that you obtained as a result of friction at the beginning of the procedure

If you want the braided dreadlock to become more dense, use the turning technique. Find the longest strand of hair next to the dreadlock. Make the strand as thin as possible. Using a hook (or just your fingers), make a hole between the selected strand of hair and the dreadlock. Take the dreadlock and pull it through the hole, wrapping the selected dreadlock, which will become thick and dense. If the dreadlock was initially bad, then use not one, but several such loops, starting with the longest one. For a more reliable result, secure the tip of the dreadlock with beeswax.

Dreadlocks With kanekalon(by extension) from a distance they look very beautiful and neat, they have a large number of colors (even those that glow in ultraviolet). When you get tired of them, you can remove them without practically damaging your own hair. However, the material of artificial curls is not compatible with high temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid blow-drying, as well as going to the bathhouse or sauna. This hairstyle feels very hard to the touch.

You will need

• - Wax
• - Rubber bands
• - Synthetic hair (kanekalon)
• - Regular crochet hook
• - Comb

Instructions

When you have secured all your hair, remove the elastic from the first strand. Divide her hair into three different sections and add hair to one of them. At the same time, synthetic hair must be three times longer than future ones. Braid your hair in the downward direction along with synthetic hair and secure it with an elastic band at the end.

Roll up the strand until it becomes tangled, and then begin to “weave”, combing it in such a way that the tangled mass falls to the roots. Go over the roots with the comb many times. As a result, the hair will become tangled at the roots. It is not at all necessary to roll up the hair at the very bottom, but you need to roll up the hair that is between your fingers. Continue combing, working slowly until the end of the hair is as tight as possible.

Once you've finished braiding and put the elastic on the end of the dreadlock, wrap the synthetic hair all the way around the dreadlock again and tighten with the elastic. After this, add a little wax to the dreadlock to smooth the hair.

There is another way of dreadlocks - braiding with a string or crochet. Knock the entire strand into one long and large tangle and leave an untangled tip. Take a regular crochet hook and thread it through the dreadlock, then wrap the strand around it several times and pull it back through the dreadlock. This is how the dreadlock is “stitched” with strands and hairs throughout, becoming less shaggy and stronger.

note

Kanekalon dreadlocks can be made either manually or using machines. Hand-made Kanekalon dreadlocks are made using the same methods as dreadlocks made from natural hair, and due to the fact that Kanekalon is very similar to natural hair, Kanekalon dreadlocks are very similar to real dangerous dreadlocks.

Helpful advice

These are dreadlocks that are made in a factory. They are thin matted strands of Kanekalon, they look unusual and it is extremely difficult to recognize dreadlocks in them. They are braided in the same way as DE dreadlocks - using a figure-eight braid, and can also have similar color schemes. By the way, recently there has been a noticeable tendency to make dreadlocks not from kanekalon, but from felt.

• - shampoo;
• - wax;
• - artificial hair;
• - elastic bands and clips;
• - comb;
• - curlers.

Instructions

Braid using the “Artificial” method. To do this, collect strands (one strand from an area of ​​approximately two square centimeters), braid them, and secure the ends with elastic bands. When you finish the weaving procedure, take one of the strands, remove the fixing elastic band from it and divide it into three equal strands. Then add artificial hair to each strand (the length of the artificial hair should be three times the length of the intended dreadlocks). After this, braid your hair and artificial hair, and secure the end of this braid with an elastic band. When the braid is ready, use the hanging end of the artificial hair to braid the top of the braid (from root to end) and secure the end with an elastic band. Then lubricate the dreadlocks with wax. Repeat this procedure with all strands.

Braid using the Twist and Break method. To this end, during the next wash of your hair, use a smooth movement of your hands to “rub” the hair (movements should only be clockwise). When your hair is dry, divide it into separate strands, then apply wax to each strand and roll it again with your palms. When weaving dreadlocks, this method involves monthly hair removal, followed by twisting of the dreadlocks. The hairstyle will be ready in about four months.

Braid your dreadlocks using the Pin Twist method. To do this, divide your hair into many thin strands and secure them with clips. After this, apply wax to your hair and secure the dreadlocks with hairpins so that these “curls” do not unwind. Use curlers to curl dreadlocks.

Dreadlocks– the natural state of hair, “not knowing” shampoo, scissors and combs. They are capable of changing a person's appearance beyond recognition. In most cases, dreadlocks are safe, the only exception being those that are braided using a lot of chemicals that significantly worsen the structure of the hair.

You will need

• - shampoo;
• - soap;
• - water;
• - a small comb or metal comb;
• - elastic bands;
• - hairpins and clips;
• - wax;
• - hook;
• - hair dryer;
• - wool gloves;
• - kanekalon.

Instructions

A few hours before dreadlocks are safe, wash your hair with natural, additive-free shampoo or soap. The hair must be dry, that is, at the time of weaving dreadlocks, it must be completely dry and completely smooth.

Carefully divide your hair into equal segments (2x2 cm). It is best if these segments are arranged in a checkerboard pattern: in this case, the bald patches formed between the strands will not be noticeable. Secure each strand of hair at the roots using an elastic band.

There are several ways to weave safe dreadlocks. The most common are backcombing, twisting and rubbing with wool.

To make dreadlocks using the combing method, take a separated strand of hair, remove the elastic band from it and begin to comb your hair vigorously from tip to root. At this time, twist the combed strand with your other hand, that is, the whole point is to tangle the hair as much as possible. The density of the backcomb at the hair roots and ends should be the same.

Secure the finished dreadlock with an elastic band a centimeter from the tip. After this, apply a small amount of wax to the dreadlock and heat it with a hairdryer (the wax should be completely absorbed). The first dreadlock is ready (all other dreadlocks are made using the same principle).

The method of weaving dreadlocks - twisting - is suitable for curly hair. Separate thin strands, twist them (clockwise) and secure with an elastic band. Soak each twisted strand in wax and dry with a hairdryer (until the wax is completely absorbed).

To create dreadlocks using the third method, the wool rubbing method, put on woolen mittens and begin rubbing your head in a circular motion until the hair turns into a large tangle. Then divide this clump of hair into separate strands and roll each one in your palms for 15 minutes, gradually adding wax. Secure the ends of the dreadlocks with rubber bands, and crochet any loose hairs.

Dreadlocks using Kanekalon - artificial hair - are considered the safest. Strands of prepared artificial hair are fixed in two places with elastic bands. The middle part remains untouched, while the lower and upper parts are curled and combed.

The hair on the head is divided into a certain number of strands, each of which is braided. Dreadlocks artificial hair is folded in half and the middle unrolled part is braided to, securing them with hairpins and clips.

It’s not just an element of fashion, it’s a special worldview. One day the god Jah will descend to earth and pull all “his” by the dreadlocks into a bright future. But how can you become the happy owner of dreadlocks without ruining your hair? This is why today there are safe dreadlocks that are quite easy to make at home.

You will need

• Kanekalon - 2-3 packs, depending on the desired length, thickness and number of dreadlocks
• fine tooth comb
• scissors
• hair straightener
• damp cloth
• thin elastic bands

Instructions

Separate a small strand of kanekalon, bend it in half and tie the bend with an elastic band. We secure the strand to available objects (chair, table, bed...) so that it does not move.

We begin to comb one of the halves of the strand with a comb. To do this, we move the comb up and down along the curl so that our lock gradually turns into a homogeneous tangle. In order for the dreadlocks to turn out better and smoother, this step should be given special attention.

When our tangle is sufficiently tangled, we can begin to twist it. It is better to keep the dredine closer to the bottom, twisting it carefully so that it is uniform in thickness.

Next you need to wrap our dreadlocks with a damp cloth. Then we take a heated straightener and begin to carefully process the curl, stopping at each section for 2-3 seconds. When the dreadlock has straightened and secured, we repeat the entire procedure from step 2.

After the dreadlock is completely ready (2 halves), you can trim the protruding hairs with scissors.

note

When heat treating, you should be very careful and careful so as not to burn yourself or burn the hair.

Helpful advice

To ensure that the cloth always remains damp, it is very convenient to use a spray bottle.
- One finished de-dreadine is 2 halves, that is, 2 dreadlocks. Based on this, calculate the required number of dreadlocks for your head.

Dreadlocks (from the English Dread locks - terrible tangles), or simply, borrowed from the religious paraphernalia of the Jamaican Rastafarians, have become a fashionable hairstyle in our time. Dreadlocks today are worn on all continents by people of any gender, age and with a wide variety of social status. This hairstyle is popular both in youth subcultures and among real fashionistas.

You will need

• Hair from 15 centimeters, comb, wax, hair dryer, Kanekalon.

Instructions

You can create dreadlocks in several different ways. The easiest way is suitable for Rastafarians, homeless people and free artists. You just need to not cut your hair or comb your hair. Sooner or later, hair that does not know how to comb will roll itself into long hair. These are dreadlocks. If you have curly hair, which you also don’t wash at all or only wash with soap, the process will go faster. If the hair is straight, the dreadlocks will look as sloppy as possible for several more years until they fall off.

You can help nature and roll up man-made tangles faster. There is a choice here. Jamaican Rastafarians, for example, to speed up the process of “dreadification”, tangle their hair into a braid, which is torn in half from tip to root. It hurts, and you can’t untie your hair back, but a true fan of rastaculture doesn’t care.

A more gentle method is to comb your hair in small strands from tip to root. In this case, the hair is damaged. The result can be improved and secured by lubricating the combed strands with special wax or regular beeswax and drying the hair with a hairdryer.

If you don’t have enough of your own hair, everything is done exactly as described in the previous step, but Kanekalon strands are combed along with your own hair. The result will become even more reliable if you seal such combined dreadlocks at the ends. Kanekalon is great for this.

It is believed that dreadlocks are not just a stylish hairstyle that allows you to stand out from the crowd, but an entire philosophy and way of life. Those wishing to join the “dreadlocks” subculture should contact a qualified craftsman; however, with the support of a patient friend, you can braid dreadlocks at home. However, you will have to spend a couple of days on this activity.

How are dreadlocks made?

There are many ways to create dreadlocks, and we will look at the most effective one. Its advantage is that the hair looks like dreadlocks from the first day.

You will need:

• wax for dreadlocks;
• small elastic bands and hair clips;
• comb-comb with thick teeth.

The above steps are repeated for each strand - a total of 30 - 40 dreadlocks should be obtained. This technology is only applicable on hair longer than 8 cm.

How to care for dreadlocks?

The first month after creating an extraordinary hairstyle, you cannot wash your hair. To help get rid of itching, wipe the skin with it. An alternative is Chlorhexidine. You can't scratch your head!

After a month, the hair should be washed and corrected, otherwise the dreadlocks will become shaggy.

Subsequent care consists of washing hair with tar shampoo or soap. It is useful to rub burdock oil into the scalp with massage movements for 15 minutes. Experience shows that washing hair with dreadlocks is effective in a decoction of hibiscus tea (a pack of water in a basin) with the addition of cinnamon (1 spoon).

How to unravel dreadlocks?

Unraveling dreadlocks is very painful, and inevitably 30–50% of your hair is lost. The remaining hair will require intensive restoration with the help of masks and oils.

You need to start unraveling the dreadlock from the tip - a fork or crochet hook will help with this. If the tourniquet is very dense, you can wet it with hot water and continue “combing” it with a hook or fork. If you don’t have enough patience, all you have to do is cut off the dreadlocks: a new hairstyle in the form of a short “hedgehog” is an equally interesting experiment!

If previously only Africans, Indians and Rastafari made dreadlocks, now it is can afford absolutely everything.

And the stereotype that only people from informal movements wear such a hairstyle is hopelessly outdated.

Deservedly dreadlocks will be appreciated those who know a lot about comfort, who are constantly on the move, who don’t want to waste time on troubles with their hair, but at the same time don’t mind looking cool.

Is it all about you? Then go ahead - get dreadlocks!

You may have already heard how many true connoisseurs of dreadlocks They ardently advocate for natural ones. And their words are not unfounded. But this is not a reason to abandon artificial ones.

In general, we'll just tell you about the pros and cons of both types of dreadlocks, and you decide which one is prettier to you.

Benefits of natural dreadlocks:

• look much better than artificial ones;
• they are easier to braid;
• easier to care for than artificial ones;
• they are softer and more pleasant to the touch.

Their flaws:

• a very painful braiding procedure;
• it is almost impossible to unravel them;
• serious hair damage;
• not everyone can afford them due to the initial condition of the hair.

Now it's all the same about artificial dreadlocks.

Advantages:

• do not damage hair;
• can be removed at any time;
• wide color variety;
• can be done on any hair.

Flaws:

• look terribly unnatural;
• very hard and prickly;
• difficult to match hair color.

Depending on what type of dreadlocks and what technique you prefer, the choice of materials and tools depends needed for braiding. So, before purchasing everything you need, you should familiarize yourself with the techniques and decide which one is better. Let's start, again, with natural dreadlocks.

How are dreadlocks made and what are the techniques for braiding on living hair?

There are incredibly many different techniques for braiding natural dreadlocks, but not all of them are convenient and effective. So we will briefly talk about two the most reliable techniques.

Crochet weaving

This method is good because dreadlocks braid quickly, but they turn out dense and neat. Plus, you can braid the end of the dreadlock, which will be thin and only slightly shaggy.

The process itself sometimes turns out to be quite painful. Also, immediately after braiding, the dreadlocks stick out in different directions and pull strongly, but this goes away after a couple of days.

For this technique you You will need a regular crochet hook and the ability to handle it carefully, otherwise you will get punctured fingertips.

Hand weaving

This the method does not require any tools, except for straight arms, it is the most painless. With this weaving, dreadlocks are smooth and soft, and you have complete control over the shape and density of the dreadlock. But you need experience.

It’s unlikely that everything will work out as it should the first time, so It's better to consult a specialist. Also be prepared for calluses on your hands.

It is most reliable to weave with the first option, especially if you are a beginner. We have attached detailed instructions to it.

Step-by-step instruction

Before weaving You definitely need to prepare your hair. The day before braiding, wash your hair with soap and do not use conditioner so that it gets tangled easily.

Also need mark the head. Make the segments as even as possible and secure each with an elastic band at the base so that hairs from different segments do not get tangled with each other, otherwise the dreadlocks may grow together later.

Segments must be placed strictly in a checkerboard pattern! Optimal number of segments somewhere around 25-50 pieces.

Now you can proceed directly to weaving:

1. First you need turn a strand into a tangle. To do this, we divide it (tear it) into two halves, twist it a little, tear it again, twist it, tear it. And so on until a tangle forms at the root. It is important that it is strong. The soft tangle needs to be pulled to the root, dividing the strand in half.
2. Further we continue to knock down the strand the same as in the first point, until it becomes one continuous tangle. The more you tighten the strand, the stronger and thinner the dreadlock will be.
3. Now we you will need a hook. We pierce the tangle with it, take some protruding strand, wrap it several times around the future dreadlock and pull it out through it using a hook.
4. In this way completely forming dreadlocks.
5. Now we reach the tip. It can also be braided, or left fluffy.
6. Finally a little correcting dreadlocks.

Weaving safe dreadlocks

Safe dreadlock weaving technician quite a lot too. For example, there is a technique when artificial material is simply wrapped around a braided strand of hair, that is, the strand itself appears to be inside the dreadlock. But only professionals weave this way.

De-dreadlocks should be worn for no more than four months, as there is a risk that the regrown roots will begin to get into tangles.

Materials that you will need:

• First of all, these are the dreadlocks themselves. It is best to take Kanekalon. They are sold in specialized stores.
• Hook to thread the strand through the dreadlock.
• Medium needle and thread, matching the color to the dreadlocks.
• Rubber bands to secure the markings.

Step-by-step technique for weaving de-dreads

Before weaving Carry out the same preparation as for natural dreadlocks. Let's get started:

1. Take a ready-made dreadlock. You can simply braid it, or you can fold it in half and get two dreadlocks on one strand. By the way, this is where the name de-dreads came from (D.E. - double ended, that is, double-sided).
2. Then pierce the base of the dreadlock with a hook or, if the dreadlock is double-sided, the place of the bend.
3. Pull out the entire strand through the dreadlock and pull it to the root.
4. Now dreadlocks need to be braided. Divide a strand of your hair into two parts and weave a regular braid, using the dread itself or half of it for double-sided as the third strand. We weave tightly, constantly pull the strands of your hair up to the base of the dreadlock so that there are no gaps in the weaving.
5. When you finish braiding dreadlocks, take a needle and thread and sew the tip.
6. For reliability, you need to completely flash the entire dreadlock, pay special attention to protruding strands. As a result, the dreadlock should be smooth.
7. The double dreadlock has a soul mate not sewn or woven anywhere, but remains dangling in a free state.

Dreadlocks are washed About once every 10-12 days, about once every two months you need to do a deep cleaning.

Do not blow-dry artificial dreadlocks, since kanekalon is very sensitive to high temperature.

There are no problems with removing safe dreadlocks. We unravel each dreadlock, comb the hair well, and wash it. In the future, it is useful to make restorative masks to put your hair in order. And dreadlocks can be washed and used again.

And here it is very, very difficult to unravel natural dreadlocks, although it is possible. It is not recommended to do this yourself. But even with a master, this procedure will be incredibly painful, and in the process you will lose approximately 30-50% of your hair.

Afterwards you will have to spend a lot of time recovering. Usually easier to cut off dreadlocks and regrow normal, healthy hair.
