Dreads for Short Hair - Partial Dreads

How to make dreads in short hair. This video is an easy to follow tutorial on how to put dreadlocks in short hair. I suggest using this technique to dread your hair when it is short because it's easy to maintain and doesn't shorten your hair much more than it already is. This deadlocking method is calling the twist and rip and will create thinner longer dreads from the beginning than the teasing method will. Twist and rip works best on dry hair as opposed to greasy or silky hair because the drier the hair is, the better it is at locking up and holding the dreads in. My hair is quite dry from being bleached blonde so my dreadlocks hold very well but I still choose to put products on them to keep the fly aways in place and hold the dreads together while they are forming. Dreads take quite some time to mature and settle into themselves so you want to make sure you put them in proper from the beginning.
I like and choose partial dreads for my short hair because they give me great volume while still allowing me to maintain a cool short haircut. I get the best of both worlds! I love having short hair but while being on the road travelling I don't have a way of washing and styling my hair every day for volume, so I choose dreads as a natural way of getting what I want. Dreadlocks add so much texture to my short hair, more volume, and give it the looks I've always wanted. I love that with partial dreads I can colour each dread differently if I want it and even simply add wraps or beads or feathers for something special. Having dreads in my short hair is my favourite addition yet, and I'm sure I'm sure I'm have them for years to come.
