theres probably many ways to do them but this is what i do. take a rubber band or hair scrunchy or elastic. then you need 100% kanekalon. that is synthetic hair. it cant be plastic or nylon. the hair HAS to say 100% kanekelon. the hair usually comes in bags for $2.00. you will probably use 2-3 bags for one ponytail. use 1 1/2 to 2 bags for pig tails(each) do you know how to do latch hook? you can find out realy easy if u dont. loop the hair in half and around the rubberband and through itself. if that makes any sence. then use a rattail come and rat the shit out of it roll it around in your hands rat it some more make a fat dread lock shape. it will look ugly till its all done so ignore it. the size of hair i grab from the pile is usually about an inch thich. you can use more or less. they look best different lengths and thicknesses. repeat repeat repeat. it may seem like there is getting to be too much but just keep overlapping the hair with the latchook meathod. once it is this huge mess of fat dreads you have to boil a large pot of water. while it is boiling turn the temp. down a bit so it wont scortch it. dip one dread at a time and pull it out slowly at the same time take a towel and from the top of the dread wipe down to the bottom of the dread. the dread will become permanantly sealed and skinny. since it is one dread at a time you will need help and several towels. it gets very hot. when im all done, i dip the band/latchoock part and make sure that part is sealed. wipe carefully. and let hang out side to dry. all the little scraggly hairs can be cut later. if the dread fall needs to be thicker you can always add more later. it takes me 4-5 hours to make one long pony. you can make short ones too just cut the hair first before you dread it. i like to make them different lenghts to have a layered effect. if you want to contact me , e-mail me and ill give u my #. or you can find out more on the internet
