Q. I was wondering if you knew how I could make temporary dreads? I don’t want real dreads, but I want to be able to get that look every once in a while. Can you help at all??
A. Temporary dreads are kind of an iffy thing, because the backcombing that has to be done can be very hard to get out. But if you are wiling to deal with it, what we normally tell people is follow online instructions for the backcombing method, but instead of waxing them up with a dreadlock wax, try using gel or hairspray to tighten them up instead. That way when you decide to wash them out, they will come out a lot easier because you don’t have a non water-soluble binder in you hair, but a product that is meant to come out with water.
People sometimes try using other things instead of gel or hairspray to bind their temporary dreads together, but if they are food-or-sugar-based products in any way, those things can create a wonderful playland for buggies! So PLEASE don’t try them.

depending on the look that you want to have for your dreads i have two ways of creating them.
One.
depending on if you want them to be in straight lines you can rubberband off the roots so that you dont lose your sections.
..
begin by taking out the rubberband of the dread you are about to and start to backcomb/tease your root area.
…
now you can either begin to twist the hair and go up and down with your fingers to create knots in the hair, spray with hairspray and take a flat iron to keep the dread in its twisted postion.
….
if you would like to try something that will stay in longer then i have listed above you can tease your whole stand of hair and seal it with some hairspray
…..
now you have some temp. dreads that will stay in untill you wash your hair. and i recommmend that you let conditioner sit in your hair for a five minute minimum that makes it eaiser to comb out your dreads.

If you remember the movie “Bring It On” (yup, the stupid cheerleading one), the “alternative” girl had fake dreadlocks for a few scenes. You can make similar ones by parting out 1″ sections of hair, twisting them from the top down, spraying them with a mighty-type hairspray. While still holding the twisted faux-dread at the bottom, make your way down the faux-dread with a straightener, covering top to bottom, holding it for 8-15 seconds at a time, depending on the texture of your hair. Once you’ve finished this step, spray it once more, and you should be good to go. Repeat all over, and have fun

you could probably just try the twisting method…
1. Wash your hair with a residue free shampoo and let it air dry.
2. Section your hair into sections that are 1 inch by 1 inch. You can use
rubberbands to hold the sections while you section the rest of your hair.
3. Once you have sectioned off all of your hair, take one section at a time
and twist it back and forth between your fingers, then put some wax on the twist
and keep twisting it. The more you twist the hair back and forth the faster the
dreads will form and lock up.
If you wash your hair often with any shampoo they will leave a residue that will most likely loosen the dreads. A Conditioner would help loosen them as well.
just an idea

i’ve just done a few temporary dreads and they look great. i backcombed till it was really knotty, then twisted. then sprayed hairspray on it, ran my fingers up and down it till it was knotty again and twisted really tight. then i took my hair straightener and heated them inch by inch. they turned out great!!

Bit late I know but best way to get temporary drealocks is to backcomb a section of your hair lightly, twist it tight,n spray it with hairspray then run straighteners down it. It works great, heres a picture of a guys hair I did that way (:
