How to make dreadlocks twist and rip method

I have already posted an article about twist and rip method for dreadlocks here but the video of how to make dreadlocks in the twist and rip method I have posted with it is kinda low quality, recently I have made a new high quality video, with more detailes on the process.

Check out and learn how to make dreads in an easy way, those are kinda skinny dreadlocks but it's not the final version, it's not how the dreads will look at the end, plus you may change the size of dreadlocks by making big sections

First thing you do is that you section your hair into square sections starting better from the bottom of your hair, use rubberbands to secure your sections then split the sectionned hair in two random parts then rip untill your reach the root, then then twist again and split the same section of hair in other two random parts and rip again untill the root, you will start to see knots forming. keep twisting and ripping the whole secion of hair untill you reach the tip of your hair.

But remember twist and rip or any other method you use does not create dreadlocks, you are just helping to define the size of your dreads by forming knots and keeping the sectionned hair together, your hair will lock itself in a natural process, but that will eventually take some time.

you might do some palmroling aswell, it doesn't do much actually, it just keeps the section tidy.

keep twisting and ripping until you reach the tip of your hair, as long as you can still hold hair between your fingers, then use a rubber band on the tip of your hair aswell.

When you finish twisting and ripping all your hair.. You do not have to do anything else, just wait for your dreads to mature.

Patience is the key to having beautiful healthy dreadlocks.

Hope this new twist and rip video was useful to you

happy journey to everyone of you
