So i just recently had one of my friends over and she wrapped a few of my smaller dreads together to make bigger ones. is that a good way of going about it? if not what is? and if so how long should i keep them wrapped?
I am going to be the same idk leave it wrapped for like 3 showers so thats like 3 weeks. and just see
Yeah I've done this to some thin dreads. If they're locked hard already, they're not really gonna lock together, perhaps a bit. But they will start locking closer to the root after a while, then the dread just grows out as one. It works....kinda Also another thing about doing it is that the wrapped dreads will be harder to dry, and can tend to stay wet for long periods, which is generally a bad thing - so just watch out for that. Otherwise happy wrapping
yea i blow dryed the ones that were wrapped...i would hate to get mildew in my dread! ill leave them in for like a month and then unwrap and see the progress, as long as they start to connect at the base then i can just let them grow together.
I'm just using a hair band, like a normal ponytail tie thingie, but its like a biiig one, so it can wrap like 10 times or sumthing. and buttrfly)i( - yeah they will start to join at the base as new hair grows. then u get fork dreads ive got this thick, kinda flat one that forks out into three at the end, i love it
I used embroidery thread, or any other kind of thread. some, I had someone wrap for me, others I just tied together with the thread. seems to be working fine.
What's the wrap done with? If it's wool, I wouldn't leave it in for more than two weeks or so. I know for myself, that's the point when my hair starts to eat wraps and they get trickier to remove.
