Nearly all hair varieties will natural dread once the hair becomes about 6” long. You might have to opt for little amount of the Rip and Tear Method mentioned below to help dreads retain a certain size and to prevent the top of your head from matting.

2. Twist and Rip Method - The job of splitting and tearing your hair is not as painful as it sounds.

You can begin by separating your hair (as described below) followed by twisting and ripping to strengthen the dread.

Use a grid type pattern for dividing your hair, or doing it in a more haphazard natural way and simply selecting sections as you proceed.
