im pretty sure if you go without washing and brushing it would naturally go like that. but to skip the smell and disgusting-ness, you need some heat (hairdryer, steamer or boiling water) and a comb. Don't use too much hair-- you

1.backcomb your hair (brushing from the ends to the scalp) until you have a nice little tangled mess.
2.after getting your hair fluffy and messy, and really messy, like 3inches in diameter fluff ball starting from your scalp/top of dread, twist it.

3.Finally, fix the dread into place using heat I know for a blowdryer you hold the hairdryer right against the dread, not just near it, and do about 3 or 4 passes along its length, taking about 15 seconds to do each pass. I'm not sure about the other ways, but i'm sure it's pretty simple.


hope i helped =].. i would practice a bit on fake hair before doing it to your actual head.
