Comb-Coils — A beautiful natural hairstyle and when left alone comb coils can form some wonderful dreadlocks. A hairdresser normally is involved in this method as it requires parting the hair and twisting it into sections using a small toothed comb. These new sections are neat but can easily unravel if they ever get wet in the beginning stage of locking. Finger Twists — Section off hair to be twisted around with fingers using beeswax, gel or a simple oil and water mixture.
New groups of twisted hair are usually pinned together to hinder an unraveling situation. This is sometimes called Negelct Dreads as the hair is allowed to form dreadlocks with zero form manipulation or control. No separating ripping to prevent congas. Palm Rolled — The hair is rolled between the palms with gel after being sectioned. Palm rolling is normally done by a beautician but is the most likely to come undone in the early stages.
Sisterlocks — Highly skilled locticians or beauticians know about this method of deadlocking hair. This method requires precision parting grids in your hair that result in about easily styled locks. A specialized tool is used to place your hair strands into a tight locking formation. Most use gel to start the process twirling the hair at the end around the finger to coil or curl it up.

Hair textures will matte and lock at different rates so the process and timeline will vary from person to person.
For example, you may have locs that tighten and compress very quickly around the sides and back, but the top always seems to unravel. This article will presume that you are forming your set of natural dreadlocks yourself, DIY style. Step 1: Allow your hair to grow at least inches or more. Let your hair grow out naturally during this pre stage.
The more hair your have to work with in its natural state, the easier it will be to start your locks off. And the straighter your hair, the more it will shrink when you install your starter locs.
Step 2: Decide roughly how thick your want your dreadlocks to be. This is totally a matter of style preference. Pick out some images or take pictures of friends with dreadlocks that you admire and examine their size. Keep in mind that the longer you let your hair grow out in Step 1, the larger the sections you can achieve. Step 3: Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo. Dreadlocks form faster on hair that is clean and dry. There is a persistent myth that hair must be dirty in order to make dreadlocks.
Step 4: Part your sections and keep consistent. A long ended rat tail comb is really convenient for this step. Create a pattern that alternates from row to row. Think in terms of brick laying, where the bricks are staggered from row to row, as opposed to, stacked right on top of each other. This will allow you more versatility in styling once your locs are mature. Step 5: Choose your starter method for your dreadlocks:. Yes, it will hold a fresh retwist or help compact a backcombed dread, but the long term effects are quite unhealthy for your locs.
It attracts a lot of lint and causes unsightly product build-up in the later stages. A preferred alternative is to use a natural holding agent made of aloe ver gel and castor oil or flaxseed gel. None of these products actually lock the hair though, they merely hold it in place for a little while…think of it like hairspray for your locs. Step 6: Finish with a palm-rolling session.
After you finish the starter loc method that fits your hair type, finish off with a palm-rolling session.
