Dread Locks Needle Style

It's like needle felting for hair! How neat is that.

hey skill teacher Im considering dreads in the future when my hair gets a little longer. was wondering if you could breifly explain the pros and cons of this needle method as compared to the other backcombing/spinning and waxing methods. and also, are fresh dreads done with the needle method tighter and more durable than fresh dreads done using other methods?

needle is expensive but u dont need wax if u get a good professional. I just got mine needled and had it for 4 years without doing anything. Dreads are very very annoying to have but they look cool. Just be warned they do get very very very annoying.

Hi skillteacher my gf has done lets say "my dreadlocks" its already twisted but they look messed up and theyre not even locked (i have straight hair by the way )even know that se did the backcombing method ,and put wax on my hair,but she haven't done the needle method yet....can she still doing it on my straight hair? Thankxxxxx

i was thinking about getting dreads but i have really short hair like 3 inches and it is really curly, could i still do this method because i dont want to use that wax shit?

yes, just be warned that many people under estimate how much time is required to do this method. You will get clean locs but they will need continual maintenance every few months. And as they grow out or you shower you will get loose hairs that need to be put back into the loc. After a few years the locs will become more stable but they will still need maintenance every few months. This method will work on all types of hair. If your hair has a natural curl then it may require lss maintenance.

can you undoo those dreads?

A few people that I have talked to have undone their needle style dreads but they did not have them for very long and I bet it stripped the hair.

this is how my dreads got done, didn't know really know how it was done properly before i saw this, so cheers =] tis the best way to do it no sticky, yucky crap in them

Amazing!! I've never sen this method before! Thanks for posting.
