Hi Kribby...Sassi is right it can be done.

Be sure to use a water soluable wax product.

curly or wavy hair works best.

It can be a hard on your hair and you have to be patient when washing it out.

Start with a strand about diameter of a pencil or a little bigger.

You have do it strand by strand...tease and apply the wax as you go...tease(small tooth comb works best) and wax...tease and wax.

I have to say it would be really hard to do yourself.
I have seen Stylists take hours to do a head...even the temporary dreds.

anybody else have anything to add...??
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers, Sophie.

Hi, all my life i've wanted dreads and have finally convinced my mum to let me try them out (she says i have to try the temporary ones first....yes i know what your thinking, i'm a 16 yr old mamma's girl....well so what) anyway, i went to the store picked up some super hold wax, the best i could find. and started to twist my hair my advice given was, wash hair with but don't condition...did it, then i applied a hell of a lotta wax, and then was told to blow dry, i tried it and my hair wouldn't hold it just had these crappy looking half twirls in them and was all sticky still from the wax... after a day of to of the occasional hourly twirl to try and make my hair turn to dreds i decided i'd wash all the wax out, as it was still sticky and gross. what have i done wrong or have missed, i live in australia and can't find any proper dread products in my country town.....argh!!! i wanna have dreads. please help
