Faking Dreadlocks

You can try faking them for a day by following our step-by-step guide.

Instructions:

• 1. Divide dry hair in half from ear to ear, and then clip the top section up and out of your way.
• 2. Take a 1-inch-wide section from the loose hair and coat it with a quarter-sized blob of strong-hold gel.
• 3. Rub the sections between your palms like you're rolling a play-doh snake, and then tease from ends to roots with a fine-toothed comb.
• 4. Repeat on entire bottom half. Unclip top half and follow the same process.
• 5. Remove dreads by saturating hair with conditioner, then detangling from ends up with a wide-toothed comb.
• 6. Rinse, then shampoo and condition hair.
