Born with super stick straight and fine hair, I always loved the look of dreads (seriously!) and braids. I envied my friends from high school who rocked them (meanwhile, of course, they told me they wanted my hair!). Recently, "Best of Boston 2008" salon owner, Nicholas Penna Jr., of SalonCapri in Newton Highlands/Hyde Park, MA sent me some tips on how to create temporary dreadlocks... My hair is too short to try this out now, but maybe one day!!
Create Dreadlocks (the easy way!):
Section off hair into half-inch sized sections
Apply a wax to the section of hair
Using a comb, tease the root area of the hair
Begin to twist the hair
Spray with a light hairspray
Use a flat iron to hold the hair in place and move it up and down to create a "dreadlock" look
