How would you look after these ?

Can you wash them with normal shampoo and how would you dry them also please..?

[nikamobscene]

Me thinks I need to invest in a steamer. Flat iron away :P

Thanks though, was helpful.

[Najeri1]

Well, I did it. I used some synthetic hair I had around here and made a few locks to use in a new clients hair. I am so excited... because it looks great. Takes a little time though. So do a bunch of them in advance.

Just Send me a message with the answer please and thanks :D

How Is The Dread Suppose To Feel Like When Its Steamed? Like Soild Or Piecey?

[TheAshley]

where would you recomend getting a steamer like the one you have?... you cutt of the fuzzy end part of the dread right?

[dezertpyrot1122]

i would look on ebay.. i think they discontiued this model. and yea i cut that end part off.. but some people keep twisting and steaming till there is nothing.

[TheAshley]

hmmm. okay would you redomend making the dread like this for a fall

[dezertpyrot1122]

shur

[jobeeeee12]

well that work on my natural hair, no synthetic hair

[dezertpyrot1122]

i would not say to use the steamer on your natural dreads.. some people use flat irons or blow dryers as a heat source to get the wax to set in a bit..

[jobeeeee12]

what song is that playing in the background?

[dezertpyrot1122]

pretty shur it is goldfrapp..and i wanna say the song is utopia? but then it sounds like it might be going into some remixed version..

[jobeeeee12]

many thanks!

[iheartglowsticks]

i wonder if wal-mart has a steamer?

[dezertpyrot1122]

walmart has steamerd but i haven't found this kind there..

[Sataninafreak666]

when the dread unravels at the end what do you do to keep them from doing so?

[dezertpyrot1122]

some times you should double seal it.. like let it cool then come back and twist it some more.. some people use a bit of glue at the ends..and some people use stitches..

[SynthetikGretyl89]

oh my...

if only i had a steamer...

i tried boiling water and they all came out kinda poofy...

do you think a flat iron will work (i'm not saying flattening it, just holding the flat iron over the dread)???

[dezertpyrot1122]

I know of some folks who have used flatirons to seal.. but you gotta be careful it does change the outer texture of the dread to crispy kind of... and it can change the color on lighter color dreads.

[TheWretchedSpawnxx]

have you tried holding the flat iron on it? If you have and it worked tell me!!

Hi, I just bought this steamer and was wondering how long it takes for it to be ready to use? Cuz I just bought this same one and I think it may be broken. I put the water and plugged it in for about a hour and nothing has happened? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

I think we might have to check out your brand of steamer...ours seem to be taking forever, but yours looks very fast! Thanks for the video.

[Cosmedical]

great tutorial! kudos.

[Baby666Lette420]

do u put anything in thm to stay or it is just steamed and if u do put somthing in them can that ever melt off into the person hair and fuck up there air just wondering cuz i should be getting mind soon

[dezertpyrot1122]

there is no glue used -the steam manipulates the synthetic fibers to merge and stay put. but over time and rolling on them more steam and twisting may be needed. I know of some people also use wax on the synthetic ends just like the normal wax one would use for natural dreads and it kinda holds the fuzzy bits down.

[GumDropZombie]

oh ok thanks for the info :D

[GumDropZombie]

when you showed that at then end where some of it was lose(i think) would you cut that off or wold you still swirl it all the way to the bottom?

[dezertpyrot1122]

i usually snip it at the tightest part but.. some go to the ends swirling/sealing.

[Zhwiggz]

Its pretty sweet and simple, LOL! I have dreads but I cant get them 2 lock at all, They just wont lock? LOL! They have been backcombed over and over again and also I keep wax in them but it still doesnt seem 2 work? U seem 2 know alot about dreadin, what do u think I should do? Do U think that if I steam them the way u are doin here, will it stay locked then? Please let me know ASAP!

Thanx Alot,

ZtayZtoned Zhwiggz

[chaaarline]
