After thoroughly rinsing the shampoo from your hair, wrap your head in a microfiber towel. If the instructions state that you should not use a blow-dryer, allow your dreads to dry naturally. You can speed up the drying process by changing the towel a few times during the process. Make a point of washing your hair first thing in the morning so that it has enough time to dry completely before bed.
What is the best way to soften synthetic dreads?
-
Synthetic dreads, especially when they are brand new, can be stiff and have an unnatural shine at first
-
New dreads should be soaked in boiling water for 30 seconds to make them more malleable
-
This will also remove some of the gleam from the surfaces, making them appear more realistic
-
It's important not to boil your locs for an extended period of time because hot water can lighten the color and cause damage to the artificial fibers
Please read the instructions carefully to determine what temperature level your dreads can withstand. In addition, some types of dreads are softer than others, so there is no need to boil them before using them on your head. Instead, simply rolling the ends is all that is required to make them delightfully soft. They will also appear more natural as time passes.
What is the best way to style synthetic dreads?
Dreads made of synthetic fibers are heavy, and it will take some time to get used to the feeling of wearing them. Once you are comfortable with your appearance, you can experiment with various styles.
Avoid using conditioners and styling products to keep the amount of residue to a bare minimum and the need for more frequent washing to a bare minimum as well.
If at all possible, avoid cutting synthetic dreadlocks unless absolutely necessary. After trimming, the ends of synthetic fibers would have an unnatural and choppy appearance.
Another thing to avoid is the use of heat styling tools on your hair. In the presence of heat, synthetic fibers, which are made of plastic, will easily melt.
Examine the provided instructions to ensure that you are permitted to use a blow dryer for drying your dreads.
When an individual dread falls out of your hair, you can remove it and braid it back into your hair.
Create a one-of-a-kind hairstyle by accessorizing with braid rings, dreadlock beads, and other eye-catching jewelry.
