I have seen loads of tutorials showing you how to boil & blowdry synthetic dreads... Boiling is hard & painful & blowdrying them makes dreads go crunchy!
This tutorial shows you how I make my synthetic single ended dreads for falls & wigs, by steaming them with an iron, since we don't all own a steamer!
I've been making these for years & they turn out really well, it takes patience & time, but the result is worth it!

You can buy Kanekalon Jumbo Braid from Ebay or any, I guess, hair shop! Afro caribbean beauty stores sell this stuff... Always go for the Jumbo braid though, as some synthetic hair doesn't seal!
I live in England, Derby, I get mine from Sims Hair & Beauty in the Eagle Market. It's really cheap, only £2.50 per pack, but I KNOW you can get it cheaper than that!

Please see my Roving Dreads Tutorial too!

I use an iron, too! :)
Your dread is really smooth and tapers well ^_^ Mine are still a bit lump and not so solid, but I hope I can get better!
Thanks for the photo tutorial :D

Depends, You can get 4 to 6 out of one bag or close to 8. :) It also depends on how big you want them.
