Hi how do you felt dreadlocks. Like with a needle? also does anyone know hot to make felt dreadlocks? I am wondering how I will look with dreads. could anyone make some for me? I would pay.
there is a felting thread around here somewhere...probably on the 2nd page if not this one. also, synthetic dreads are a lot of money...but the best ones out there are by this lady: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=27707
Knotty Rye those are the most expensive synths I've ever seen. Most are actually fairly cheap, some good ones too. Darklocks.com is great for the cybergoth dreads.. But you can easily make your own. You can make dreadfalls from synthetic hair. loop/tie some to something like a hairband or a strip of lace, get it to stay taut and just backcomb them with a flea comb, palm roll a bit and twist them.. and then when it looks like a dread get some boiling water and slowly pour it over it. The water will melt some of the synth hair together and keep them in the form of the dread you've just created. It's great fun. Then you can just tie up your hair into a bun and tie the falls on over it. Or incorporate them into a ponytail.. Edit: And I just realized that the video is exactly what I just explained. Great lol
