Making DreadLock For Kids

Many children enjoy having a fun and different hairstyle such as dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are somewhat permanent and often have to be cut off after a period of time, so make sure that your child is serious before undertaking the process of creating the dreads. Making dreads in children's hair requires the same process as making them in adult hair and might take up to a month to form. 

 

Instructions

1. • 1
     Wash your child's hair with residue-free shampoo. Part her hair in the middle and section it into small equal squares with your comb.
     
   • 2
     Wrap the hair sections with small ponytail holders to keep them in place.
     
     
   • 3
     Flip your child's head over and spray the hair with locking hair accelerator made specifically for dreadlocks.
     
   • 4
     Remove one section of hair from a ponytail holder and backcomb the hair by placing the comb near the root and pushing it toward the scalp. Continue down the section of hair until you no longer have any hair to hold. Place a small ponytail holder around the tip of this section of hair. Repeat with each section of hair.

     Place a small amount of dreadlock wax on the tips of your fingers and smooth it over one section of hair at a time. Use a blow-dryer to further melt the wax onto the hair.

     Smooth the dreads with your fingers once again.

     Leave the ponytail holders in the hair for two to four weeks until the dreads stay together on their own.
