Dreadlocks twist and rip method
The twist and rip method to make dreadlocks is one of the most used methods, because it works on pretty much all type of hair and it's also an almost all natural dreading method IF you don't use any dread wax with it.
But you have to know that once it's done and the dreads have locked, it's almost impossible to unlock them.. So if you choose this method, you have to know that if you changed your mind about having dreadlocks you may most probably have to cut your hair.
1- Sectioning your hair: it depends on how thick you want your dreads (between 1/4 inch to 1 inch in thickness recommanded). Just carefull that hairs from 1 section dont cross hairs from another at the roots. you can use rubber bands but make sure you remove every single one the next day.
2-Twist and rip:
- twist the section then seperate the ends randomly in half
- pull the two parts away from eachother to force knots towards the roots BUT don't be too forcefull or you may cause dammage.
- keep retwisting and seperating and pulling
- you may do some palm roll when you're done.
