Often when you wear your dread falls, wigs, or extensions out a lot...they end up getting a little messy after a while. However with a few simple steps, you can keep them looking like they have never been worn before.

First of all, synthetic dreads need to be resealed every so often to maintain their shape. Although the ones that I custom make are double sealed to begin with so they never unravel all the way. But they do get a little puffy after a few party nights out. The main idea behind sealing synthetic hair is re-twisting the dread into the desired shape and sealing the dread with steam. If you have a kettle handy, the best way is to hold the re twisted dread over the steam that comes out of the spout of the teapot. The best teapots I have used are the portable ones you can buy at Target or Walmart.

Remember to wear gloves when you do this so you don't burn your hands. I have learned this from experience!

Second...hang the re sealed dread up on a coat hanger to dry. This will take about two hours to make sure everything is dry.

Third and finally, any frizzy parts that are sticking out of your dread...just trim them with a pair of scissors. Be careful not to trim to much or your dread will fall apart. Just the areas that are extra fuzzy and look messy.

And you're finished! It's that easy. After these steps you should have some really nice looking refreshed dreads.

This is especially handy for dread extensions since we were those for weeks at a time. When they need re-braiding, take them out and perform the refreshing techniques in this article. Re-braid them in and you have a new head of hair without purchasing another set.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for looking and good luck with your dreads!!
