My crowning achievement of last Saturday was successfully figuring out how to make fake dreadlocks. It was no easy task given the amount of gel it took and a time frame but it was done. First, to anyone who wants to try making these dreads go by yourself a bottle of gel right now. What we did was separate the top from the bottom and worked on the bottom section first. Take a comb and start teasing the crap out the hair. Get it really poof but not so tangled that you can separate it into smaller sections. Take 1-2" of hairs and begin to slather it with gel. I felt like I was painting. As you move the gel up and down the strand of hairs also twist it so it gets the round look of dreads.
Once you're done with the bottom, start on the top. And that's it. When you're finished, you're hair will be really wet from the gel so gently blow dry it on low and I recommend warm-cold heat settings. After that, it'll look sick! And I mean that both figuratively and literally because let's face it. The concept of dreads is pretty gross.
