How to Thicken Dreadlocks

The easy way to thicken your dreadlocks, without going to a salon and spending a fortune!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lock Gel
• Synthetic Weave or Human Hair
• Mirror

1. Set your mirror on a table with good lighting. If you are doing this alone, this will be imperative.. If there is someone to help you, no worries.

2. Open the package of hair that you have bought. The color of the hair should not matter. It is all preference. Some like to add color, others like to have the hair match their own so it looks natural. Separate the amount of hair which you want to add to your dread locks.

3. Align the hair to the length of the deadlock and begin to twist the hair in with the lock gel. This is the same process as if you were re-twisting your dreads.

4. Continue to wrap the hair around your dreads until the hair is blended and you have the look you desire.

5. Continue this process until you have added the hair to each dread lock you desire. After you have added the hair style as usually. Hair moose, gel and or sheen spray after this process will give it the shine and lessen the amount of frizz.

Tips & Warnings

• To make for a better look, wrap the weave around the root of the dread lock, twist as if you are tying your shoes and then continue the process of twisting your hair.
