Making Dreadlocks by Wool Rubbing


Wool Sweater or Wool Hat rubbing

  

Advantages: The main advantage to the rubbing method is that if you happen to own something wool you can get started right away. It is an all natural method. You can do it yourself.

Disadvantages: It hurts like hell and the dreads that it makes vary greatly in size and do not look very good. Hair will usually need to be cut after trying this method so you will have to grow out your hair again before trying another method.

Instructions: Take a wool sweater or hat and rub it in circles on your head. After about 15 min, if your hair is long enough, knots will start to form. As the hair knots together you rip it apart and try to separate it into dreads. After you rip it apart you resume rubbing for another 15 min. or so. Repeat this process over and over and over until all your hair is knotted. Lots of loose hair is common with this method and the neglect method, just try to stick them into the nearest dread.

wool hat rubbing
find a woolen hat or jumper. rub it in circles on your head, as knots form rip it apart and try 2 separate into dreads - repeat etc
this is a relatively quick all natural method but the dreads dont look too good.

Another method is the wool sweater, or wool material method. Basically, you rub a wool sweater on your head, in circles, over and over. The little wool fibers come off the sweater or material, and they tangle in the hair, and create little tied together bits of hair, which over time, and much much rubbing, creates dreads.

That is just not true.

Re: Making Dreadlocks by Wool Rubbing


well it depends how long you leave it knotted after, but thats just like any set of locks really. But you can most definatly comb them out after a little bit or a long bit depending on ur hair
