The Best Dread Tool since the Dread Comb!

Yeah, loose hairs are a pain and they make dreads look neglected. Dread Balling is the solution but getting those dread balls deep into the dread where they will stay and lock can be tough with just your fingers.

The loose hair tool allows you to pull dread balls and straight hair through the dread, leaving it tangled in right where you want it. Because of the extra small hook head you can pull hair through the dread without pulling the dread apart and leaving loose spots. The latch closes as you put the tool through so the hook never snags on the rest of the dread.

The dread tool is every bit as useful for maintaining mature dreads as it is for working with new dreads. It’s a huge time saver...which means less maintenance time and better looking dreads all the time.

Dread tools can be helpful in all three parts of the dread:
1)At the roots you’re always going to have a few loose hairs as some of the new growth near the edge of the sections will "miss" the dread and just hang out. Just grab’em up, separate the hair according to which dread it should go into, and roll each group into a nice dread ball. Then with dread tool in hand push the tool through the dread so it exits where you’d like the dread ball to enter, hook the ball and close the latch locking it into the tool. Then just pull the tool back through the dread. Repeat as necessary to get the ball well tangled deep inside the dread.

2)In the body of the dread, loose hair can be pulled in, keeping the dreads looking smooth and tight. The tool can be pushed into the dread lengthwise through an inch or two of dread. The hook should end up surfacing beside the loose hair. Then simply pass the loose hair through the hook, close the latch, and pull the loose strands deep inside the dread.

3)Tips often form oddly with wispy straight strands sticking out here and there. Using the same technique as above these loose strands can be put back into the tip making it fuller and smoother.

Here’s some hot tips:

Use a mirror so you can double check which hair goes in which dread. This seems obvious but it’s easy to pull in a bunch of hair and then realize it’s from the wrong section.

If you have a friend or stylist helping you, have them locate and separate the loose hair into groups that you can dread ball. While they are pulling the dread balls into place you can be dread balling the next loose hair. This will allow you to blow through maintenance really fast.

If there is a lot of loose hair in one area that you will be pulling through, split it up into small groups and pull them each through separately, changing the path the hair takes with each group. They can also be dread balled separately and pulled through.

ATTENTION: The dread tool is now available in uber-tacky 80’s neon colors!.....AND....You can twist the handle apart to reveal a stash compartment that you can fill with Lock Peppa. This is supa useful since Lock Peppa and the maintenance tool go hand in hand... You might even leave a few rubber bands wrapped around the handle of the tool creating the ultimate "Swiss-Army-Dread-Tool" for quick and effective dread maintenance at home or in the field!
