Materials • • A sturdy comb for backcombing (the comb shown in the pictures is a ) • A tea kettle or steamer for sealing • Pliers or gloves (to hold the ends of the dreads and keep from burning your fingers) Instructions • Section off some kanekalon jumbo braid to make your dread. The amount of hair you section off will depend on how thick you want the dreads to be. A piece that's roughly as big around as a pencil is a good place to start, but you can play around with different amounts to get different sizes of dreads.

Now its time to make the loop at the top of the extension. The quick and easy way to do this is to make a lark's head knot or rubber band the hair at the top, but the knots get pretty bulky so I like to do it another way.

Try experimenting with different amounts of hair until you find the size that you like. • Now its time to make the loop at the top of the extension. The quick and easy way to do this is to make a lark's head knot or rubber band the hair at the top, but the knots get pretty bulky so I like to do it another way. Separate a small section of hair from what you've already got. • Now, while holding the all of the hair securely, wrap the section around the top of the hair to create a loop, then pull the small section through the loop. • Pull the loop tight. You have now formed the top of your extension.

This loop will come loose VERY easily at first, but once you backcomb the dread and seal it, it will stay in place. It will take some practice to be able to backcomb the hair without the loop coming loose or the hair ending up uneven. If you get frustrated, you can always just do a lark's head knot or rubber band the hair at the top instead to practice backcombing and sealing, and try perfecting your knots on another set of dreads.

• Now its time to backcomb your dread by literally combing it backwards. Take your comb and brush from the bottom of the hair up to the top. The hair will end up in a big clump at the top. • Gently pull the lump at the top down and out to the sides to fluff it up again. Make sure to remove any hard knots. • Repeat the process until your dread is shaped the way you like (the one in the pictures has a sharp taper, but you can give it less of a taper by combing less of the hair up to the top).

• You'll know you've backcombed enough when your dread is solid enough to stick out straight when held sideways or upside down. If your dread still hangs down, you haven't backcombed enough and the end result won't be sturdy enough to withstand much wear. • Now it's time to twist and seal! In the pictures, I've taped a coat hanger to the counter top to hold the top end of the dread in place. The hardware store can be your best friend when setting up a dreading station; look for clips and clamps that will fit your living and working space and play around with different set ups until you've got something you like. There's no wrong way to do it, as long as the hair gets sealed and you don't burn yourself in the end:) Twist your dread and smooth it out as you go.

You can go clockwise or counter-clockwise, but it's a good idea to pick one and stick with it so your finished dreads look consistent. • Seal your dread. I'm sealing by pouring boiling water over the dread; you can also hold your dread over the opening of the kettle and seal it with steam, or buy a fabric steamer and seal it with that. Lay your dread out gently when you're done, and let it get completely cool and dry before using it. And you're done! The third dread from the right in the below picture is the one from the tutorial.
