Very preeeetty!

I know a really great way to do fake dreads. I used to do it all the time but I have REALLY curly hair and curly hair helps them stay. If you want I can tell ya how to do them and it looks AWESOME. My sister has really long hair and she does it all the time.

Ooh yay! Fun!

I suggest doing this at night hours before you go to bed and make sure someone's there to help you.

Well, first you need a SHITload of really heavy-duty conditioner. I suggest using stuff that you wouldn't normally buy. The thicker, the better. If there's an ad for it, don't buy it. I use Wellapon, the green shit but I don't think they sell it in the states. Basically it's this gloppy green stuff. REALLY thick. Must empasize on that.

Now:

Shower. Be clean. Sniff yourself. Use loads of conditioner and don't rinse it out. Leave it in and make sure your hair is literally dripping with conditioner. Use the whole bottle if you have to. I used to when I had long hair, but my hair's so thick you could cover an elephant with it. ANYWAY!

So you got all this shit in your hair. Now here's the big one: Take two teensy chunks of hair or thicker ones depending on how much time you have and/or how thick you want them. I usually picked out a chunk that was about an inch thick for the front and divided in two bits and for the back i used a two-inch chunk. that way the ones at the front are all nice and thin and the ones at the back are nice and chunky. It looks good and makes it a LOT faster.

Now that you have the two chunks, sniff yourself again. It's fun to be clean! Take the two chunks and twist them round each other so that you get this long twisty sort of dread thing. If you need to, add more conditioner as you go along. I usually did that. Also, because my hair is kinda straight in some places, I would mix a TINY bit of gel with the conditioner to make it stick. Now, continue twisting all around your head. This is where the other person comes in. Now, I do the whole thing by myself, but my arms get tired quickly and I can't see what I was doing. But it IS possible. If you need to, get someoneto help you with the back while you do the front.

Then comes the hairspray. This part isn't mandatory, but if your hair is more wavy than curly, I suggest it. Just spray your hair to death and then sit around for a while, maybe half an hour.

Then go to sleep.

In the morning your dreads will be rock hard. Spritz water on your hair with one of those plant-mister things and then scrunch it so your dreads curl a bit.

Spray again.

The End.

You can shower with these in but they don't really last very long, so if you DO shower, keep your head outta the water.

Your hair is safe from being yucky 'cos you've got all that conditioner in it. Your hair should also be a lot healthier if you do this often.

You'll find ways of doing it that you'll prefer, things that work better for you.

And yes, you may sniff yourself all you like.

So you leave the conditioner all drippy when you go to sleep? I'll probably end up doing this tonight. ^_^

yeah, but by the time you've done them all, the conditioner's dried a bit and your hair just seems a bit wet. and whether or not you use hairspray you should sit around for half an hour with the glop in your hair so it can set a bit.
Its a good opportunity catch up on reading lol.

But you shouldn't really listen to me, I'm an IB nerd. *snort snort, pushes glasses up nose*
