Are you tired of your short hair and want to try something new? Have you always wanted to try dreadlocks but don't want to use any products? Well, you're in luck! In this article, we will show you how to make dreads with short hair and no products. Follow these steps and achieve the look you've always wanted!
How to
The first step to making dreads with short hair and no products is to section your hair. Use a comb to create even sections of hair, about the width of your finger. The size of the sections will determine the thickness of your dreads. If you want thinner dreads, make smaller sections. If you want thicker dreads, make larger sections.
Once you have sectioned your hair, twist each section tightly in one direction until it starts to curl up on itself. This will create the dread. As you twist, keep the hair as close to the scalp as possible to create a tight dread.
Use a small elastic band to secure the end of the dread. Make sure the elastic band is tight, but not too tight that it cuts off circulation to your hair. Repeat this process for each section of hair until your head is full of dreads.
