Clean hair will actually lock up faster than dirty or oily hair.

2; Palm rolling your dread is very important. Start at the root and briskly roll your dread between your palms to the end.

3; Dry your dread properly to avoid smelly dread. Don't tie up your wet dreads or pile in a hat. Air properly
