faking dreadlocks

[dreadlocks]

Here is a way for the anyone to achieve the look of dreadlocks without actually having them:

You can try faking them for a day .

Instructions:
1. Divide dry hair in half from ear to ear, and then clip the top section up and out of your way.

2. Take a 1-inch-wide section from the loose hair and coat it with a quarter-sized blob of strong-hold gel.

3. Rub the sections between your palms like you’re rolling a play-doh snake, and then tease from ends to roots with a fine-toothed comb.

4. Repeat on entire bottom half. Unclip top half and follow the same process.

5. Remove dreads by saturating hair with conditioner, then detangling from ends up with a wide-toothed comb.

6. Rinse, then shampoo and condition hair.

I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but is dreadelocks a certain hair style or it is some sort of religious statement? I don't see alot of people with this type of style and I'm curious. How long does it take to acheive dreadlocks?

I've seen a few people in town with dreadlocks, not many though. I remember watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy where one the guys had dreadlocks and they re-did it and gave him some pointers. It actually looked good when the Queer Eye crew was finished with him. They talked about the importance of maintaining dreadlocks to keep them looking good.
