Instructions

    • 1

      Get all of your ingredients out and ready. Follow the box instructions on this but if using multiple boxes of dye, get every bottle of dye ready for use.

    • 2

      Start at the top of the head and work forward, then backward, concentrating on making sure to drench the whole dreadlock in dye.

    • 3

      Follow timing and rinsing instructions on dye box.

    • 4

      DO NOT Condition your dreadlocks as the dye instructions direct. You can now twist your dreadlocks as usual because the gel used to twist dreadlocks acts as a conditioner for your hair and overconditioning will soften dreadlocks.

Tips & Warnings

  • Starting at the front of your dreadlocks will end up leaving your hair brighter or darker (depending upon color) than the back of your hair. Avoid this!
