The 7 steps to follow
- Section your hair into the number of pieces of the dreadlocks available (you are going to use).
- Braid the sectioned pieces.
- After braiding, the next step is to use your crotchet hook to pass the dreadlocks through each piece of hair.
One piece of loc for one braided hair.
When passing it, make sure it is positioned with one end of the long loc and the other on the shortend. - The short end should be such that it can completely cover your hair when it is wrapped around it.
- So the next step is to wrap the short end of the dreadlocks tightly around the long part of the dreadlocks and your hair.
- Cut out a small part of the dreadlocks and unravel it into smaller pieces.
- With the small pieces, you can secure the dreadlocks at the point where you finish wrapping.
