How To Make Dreadlocks Hair


Many people choose to have dreadlocks as it makes them cool, others keep them due to their spiritual beliefs and yet others may keep them for their political views. Growing this style requires a lot of patience as it usually takes time for dreads to eventually mature. The below steps will help show you ways in which you can create dreadlocks hair successfully.

Remember curly or very kinky one provides a good ambiance for the dreads. Thus if yours lacks volume, is the straight kind or wavy type, the first requirement is that you get yourself a home perm with very thin rods. With the perm the texture that is much needed will have been created.

Before starting the process, remember to take a break of about a week to ten days from using conditioner. On the day you decide to make the dreads, rinse it with a solution mixture of a tablespoon of vinegar with one quart water. The solution is useful in eliminating any residue or buildup which may hamper the process.

Commencing with dry one, take about one inch square of it at the roots and firmly twist it. Using clips or rubber band try to hold back the rest for you to effectively work on one piece at a time. Comb back the part you have twisted by starting at the root and going to the ends and then back again to the scalp.


After combing, apply a styling wax for dreads to each segment and then twist it again. The wax helps to shape your dreads and keep the lock twisted. At the end of each dread, put a rubber band while leaving some thrust out as this helps to maintain the twist and will end up giving a rounded end to your dreads.

Work at finishing up the twisting process over your whole head. If you are limited for time or have a busy schedule, consider twisting a few segments a day. For best looking dreads especially at the back of your head, it is advisable that you get assistance from your friends and have them do it for you.

To create the dreadlocks hair, you need to cultivate time as a lot is required if you want to have good looking, well done dreads. Maintain their shape by regularly twisting, combing and waxing. Remember to use the recommended products for the dreads and when twisting ensure it is done the same way when re-twisting so as to avoid untwisting the locks.

Temporary Hair Dye


Temporary hair dye as the name suggests is temporary and washable, most often used to colour or highlight hair for special occasions and is often used in unusual shades, such as bright pink, punk blue, red, green or even striking gold or yellow, for events and exciting parties. Unlike permanent hair dye, temporary hair dye is usually easily removed with a single shampoo, as the original hair color and structure is not altered.

Patrons love it as it allows them to express themselves in very creative ways, and yet, not having to worry about what the boss would say when they report back to work the next day, especially if their work requires formality and seriousness, for example, in industries such as banking, law, medicine or financial consultancy. For teenagers, it is a great way to experiment with various weird and funky hair color without permanent damage to their hair, and without having to endure continuous nagging about it from their parents!

As for entertainers, it is a vital tool in their make-up and entertainment gear, essential to add a touch of brilliance to their costumes. Vibrant colors such as red or yellow hair are excellent for clowns, and a myriad of other colors for singers or band performers. It has become part of the wardrobe of entertainers who have to change the color of their hair to match their costumes on a frequent basis.

This group of hair dye usually comes in convenient forms of application, such as shampoos, rinses, gels, sprays and foams. It is effective immediately and there is no waiting time for the color to develop. If you buy those that come in the form of gels, sprays or foams, it can be applied as the final touch up just before the party.


This easily washable factor in temporary hair dye is due to the fact that its pigment molecules are large, and thus, they are unable to penetrate the cuticle layer of the hair. The pigment molecules remain as add-ons or rather, merely closely adhere to the hair strands without being absorbed into the hair shaft itself. This makes it easily removable with warm water and shampoo.

However, if the user's hair is excessively damaged or dry, the temporary hair dye may persist, as the damaged hair may allow for migration of the dye pigments to the interior of the hair shaft despite the size of the pigments.

Try to visualize yourself in that hairstyle

You need to visualize yourself in that particular hairstyle and think how it would look on you. Does it look good on your body type or does it suit your personality? For example, Johnny Depp's hairstyle looks great on him but does it look good on you? In such a case, you can start by getting your hair done like David Beckham. His hair is short with enough lift and height. It can make you look smart and happening. Again, you need to trim it regularly.

Propecia

Finasteride, commercially marketed as Propecia, is a drug, which combats hair loss in men. This drug has been approved by the FDA.

If you are taking this drug, you may experience side effects such as decrease in sex drive, loss of libido, reduced sensitivity on sexual organs and decrease in volume of semen. People, who are suffering from prostate cancer, or have any kind of drug allergies, should avoid taking it. Always consult a doctor before using it. You too can look like a celebrity and sport a sexy hairstyle and all it takes is a little effort.

Black Hair Style


Different types of challenges arise for people of color when it comes to hairstyling. Black hair is typically tends to be course and wiry so choosing the appropriate black hair style is challenging. Many are inclined to desire sleek and shiny hair. Thankfully, achieving this is not unattainable as long as the right techniques are used.

It is important to remember that the way hair grows and the amount of growth varies and depends on several things when choosing to go with a longer, black hairstyle. First, genetics is a primary factor that determines hair growth for any individual. For example, while one family member might be able to wear the hair below the chin, another family member might struggle to wear that very same style. Another important factor is overall health. In this, certain illnesses such as thyroid conditions or lupis have significant effects on hair growth.

In dealing with long black hairstyle, it is important to focus on maintaining a well-balanced diet and minimizes stress factors. Overall well-being is essential including things like keeping the hair clean and healthy, not smoking, and eating right. Additionally, in order to avoid clogging the scalp's pours, do not grease the hair daily as this can actually cause clogging of the pours. Other things to avoid are using relaxers, bleaching the hair, and using hot irons or curlers every day. Trimming split ends often is important to maintain health of the hair and avoid an overly dry look. If utilized, these tips allow for any number of long and lustrous black hairstyle.

Another popular black hairstyle is wearing the hair in dreadlocks, sometimes fondly referred to as "locs". Before trying to sport this black hairstyle, the hair must be washed, deep conditioned, and oiled prior to styling. After this, it is possible to create locs on both dry and wet hair. If locs are made while hair is wet, it is important to let them sun dry or use a blow dryer so they will set properly.

Dreadlocks have been worn by some of the most popular cultural icons for many years. Musicians such as Bob Marley and Lenny Kravitz have transformed the hairstyle into a desirable, stylish and sexy look. The starting point is having sections of the hair braided; the size of the sections should be about the thickness of the dreadlocks desired. When determining size, it is important to keep in mind that in a month's time after the dreadlocks are started, they will expand; therefore, be careful not to start too wide.

After the size of the braids is determined, the next step for this black hairstyle is the braiding. Obviously, the hair needs to have some length in order to do this. With each section gathered, small, individual braids are made. If the hair is very long, it is useful to use some type of sticky gel or beeswax in order to prevent clumping or tangling while braiding.

In dealing with shorter hair, it is best to use a rattail comb and make a comb twist. In this, the comb is placed at the scalp. The hair is then twisted downward using the comb's teeth as a guide. If a very thin black hairstyle is desired, the smaller the parts the better. These dreadocks will typically last several weeks.

Finger twisting is another technique for achieving a dreadlock black hairstyle. In order to use this technique, the hair needs to be a minimum of ½" long. Similarly to the other techniques, the hair is gathered in small sections using a bit of styling product for hold. Then, use the finger to twirl the hair which creates individual coils with each section. Bobby pins can be used to secure the locs if needed. In order to prevent frizz, use a scarf to cover the hair while sleeping overnight.

Another technique for achieving dreadlocks is called palm rolling. In order to have palm rolls the hair needs to be at least 3" long. Use a small amount of styling product to be applied to each section of hair. Then place the sections between the palms of the hand and rub back and forth. This technique forms a spiral type of dreadlock.

Lastly, using a two-strand twist is a technique useful for hair that is a minimum of 2" long. Here, each section is separated into two equal parts to create the double strand. A small amount of styling product is used while twisting the two strands around each other. Unlike braiding that requires three strands, the effect of using two strands is a rope-like dreadlock. This is probably the most favored black hairstyle.
