How to Dry Dreadlocks - Dreads Drying Tutorial

Drying dreadlocks is one of the most annoying routines for any dreadhead, because it's time and energy comsuming. Unlike washing dreadlocks that takes only 10 to 30 mins, and no matter what you do, drying your dreadlocks will take hours.

Youtube video showing how to dry dreadlocks:

Here are few points to know about drying dreadlocks:

1- Wash your dreadlocks early: First thing you should know is that it's better that you wash your dreadlocks early in the day if you can, the earlier the better, that way you will allow them to air dry before you go to bed, it's not recommanded that you sleep with wet dreadlocks.

2- Drying starts from the shower: right after washing your dreads, proceed to squeezing them very well to get as much water out as you could. 
I do not recommand doing "head bangs" because shaking your head could be dangerous, but if you want to do that, just be careful and don't shake too hard, it does help a little bit in getting the water to the tips of your dreads.

3- Using Towels: you will mostly need two towels or more, because dreadlocks suck a lot of water in. rub the towel on your head and dreads, just like you used to do with your long hair before dreadlocks. 
wrap your dreads in the towel and squeeze them.

4- Blow drying: be careful while using the blow dryer, do not set it to maximum heat ( you don't want to fry your dreads from outside) and don't apply it on one spot for a very long time either. Same things you would actually do with undreaded hair.
You may put a towel on your dreads and make some kind of a tunnel and blow dry them while they're inside the towel like shown in the tutorial video, it helps trapping the hot air in, that way the hot hair will circulate inside and won't get wasted all over the room.. and therefor more thance to get dry dreadlocks faster.

5- Sleeping with wet dreads: If you have to sleep with dreads that are not 100% dry, put a towel on your pillow and spread your dreads all over it.

Different people will have different results, depending on the hair type, the size and lenght of dreads, and the weather where one lives, people living a hot places are luckyer than the ones living in cold humide areas.

Man bun Hairstyle

How to have a man bun hairstyle:

first of all, your hair must be long enough to form a bun, it doesn't have to be very long just long enough, you may use a natural hair cream and blow dryer.. then the rest is quiet obvious, anyway here is a video tutorial on youtube about how to get the man bun or short curly / wavy hair:

What's a bun?

A bun is a type of hairstyle wherein the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited, and wrapped in a circular coil around itself, typically on the back of the head or neck. A bun can be secured with a barrette, bobby pins, a hair stick, a hairnet, and/or a pencil. Buns may be tightly gathered, or loose and more informal.

Man bun?

The term "man bun" is a term used to describe long-haired men who do not wish to sport the traditional trend of short back and sides. Men with long hair tend to use this style for practicality and heat relief rather than a particular fashion or trend. The style has came under small debate mainly by pseudo masculinis who see the neutral look as rebellious to The Social norms.

But man bun is not a one specific haircut or hairstyle.. there are many hairstyles that that people call man bun the most popular ones of them are:

Full man bun: long hair on all sides, pulled back into a large high bun

Low man bun: Same as full man bun, but the position o the bun is lower on                         the head

Top knot: A smaller back bun using only the hair on top of the head, side                       hair is shaved or just clipped

The pineapple: Similar to the top knot but the bun is in the center of the top                       hair, the pineapple bun is quite small

The undercut: Similar to the top knot except that there's no bun, just a                               smaller shoot of hair that looks like a micro ponytail

Samurai bun: Long hair on all sides but only the top hair is pulled back to                          form a bun, the rest of the hair is left like it is.
