Mastering the Comb Twist Method for Creating Dreadlocks
In short: Learn the foundational technique of the comb twist method to start your dreadlock journey. This video provides a step-by-step demonstration on how to manipulate hair sections into structured locks using specific tools and products.
The process begins by saturating a section of hair with water and applying a lock-in gel. Using fingertips, the practitioner combs through the entire length from root to tip before beginning the twisting motion.
The core technique involves inserting an all-purpose comb at the root and performing a 'twist and pull down' motion toward the ends. For added definition, a small-tooth side of the comb can be used for further turning. The final step ensures the end is tucked in tight to allow it to curl naturally, with optional extra gel applied at the roots for stiffness before drying.
