Dead Balling - The Stray Hair Solution

Written by admin on April 17th, 2009

Loose hair is nothing less than a nightmare for people with dreadlocks and often makes the locks appear neglected. Dread balling dreadlocks is a good method to smooth out loose frizzles from locks and make them look attractive. This is especially useful to tame hair near the roots and towards the center of the locks. 

You may go to a hair stylist for this or try this out at home by yourself. Make sure that the hair is absolutely clean. Now, gather the strayed hair and roll them into the shape of a ball and identify the most closely associated dread to it. This will help you to recognize the dread to which these loose hairs belong. Once you know this, you can knot up the ball and put them into the nearest dread and start rubbing and twisting that dread in a clockwise manner. 

Continue this clockwise movement for a few minutes so that the hair ball attaches well to the remaining dread.  Now, you can put the rubber band towards the root of the dreadlock where you have placed that dread ball. The rubber band should not be very tight but just tight enough to hold the ball with the dread. This is perhaps the best method that is suggested for maintenance of dreadlocks. 

 So, in case you are tired of the untidy look of your dreadlocks, give the dread balling method a try and you will surely not be disappointed! You may also take the help from any of your friends for this method, if you find it difficult to reach out to the locks at the back of your head. Now, get set to rock the party with your ravishing hairdo of neat dreadlocks. You may also consider tying them at the back so that you can easily manage them.
